A federal judge challenged the Trump administration's deportation timeline for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, describing attempts to understand its plans as "trying to nail Jell-O to a wall."

The Trump administration plans to deport Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a third country before he can face trial in Tennessee if he is released from criminal custody, a Justice Department attorney said Monday.

The Salvadoran citizen, readmitted to the US after being erroneously deported to a high-security prison in El Salvador, now waits in a Tennessee jail for his next court hearing, scheduled for July 16.

Throughout Monday’s hearing, lawyers for the administration repeatedly refused to provide answers to some very straightforward questions.
