72-Hour Notice Rule Imposed on Future Deportations
In a precautionary measure, Judge Xinis mandated that the government must provide 72 hours’ notice if it plans to deport Abrego Garcia to any third country. She also instructed that he be returned to ICE supervision in Baltimore, aligning with the jurisdiction where his immigration proceedings should have originated.
