Kilmar Abrego Garcia's attorneys on Monday asked a federal judge for a 30-day stay if he is ordered released from custody while awaiting trial.

The motion asked for the stay to give Abrego Garcia time "to evaluate his options and determine whether additional relief is necessary."

Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia have asked a federal judge in Tennessee to delay releasing him from jail in order to prevent the Trump administration from trying to swiftly deport the Maryland construction worker.
