Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s deportation is planned for a country other than his native El Salvador, according to a federal prosecutor.

Justice Department attorney Jonathan Guynn told U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis and Abrego Garcia’s attorneys on June 26 about plans to deport him to a “third country.” Guynn also said that there are “no imminent plans” to deport Abrego Garcia, as the government will comply with all court orders.
