Mr. Abrego Garcia Hauled Out, To Rural PA Now — By Noemites. Ugh.


These jamokes -- Geez. And separately, the able USDC Judge Crenshaw, in Nashville wants each government lawyer, who's entered an appearance in this matter, to detail specific steps each has taken to stop Kristi Noem (and the rest of the Trumpies) from making uncharged, and inflammatory statements in public about the posture of the case and/or the defendant. It is astonishing that the judge had to order these govt. lawyers to restrain their clients -- from lying about the posture of the case.

This administration is way off the rails, on almost every dimension. Damn. Here's the overnight Music City filing -- and a bit:

. . .On September 26, Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") notified Mr. Abrego's immigration counsel, who promptly notified the undersigned, that Mr. Abrego had been transferred to Moshannon Valley Processing Center ("Moshannon") in Phillipsburg, Pennsylvania, earlier that morning. The government reached out shortly thereafter to notify the undersigned of the same. An ICE official informed Mr. Abrego's immigration counsel that this transfer "will allow Mr. Abrego Garcia's legal team greater access to him." It is not yet clear whether that is true.

Travel to Moshannon is far more difficult for the members of the defense team based in Nashville, and is not appreciably easier for the New York-based members of the defense team, compared to Farmville. Conditions at Moshannon are also deeply concerning -- a detainee died by hanging last month, there have been recent reports of assaults, inadequate medical care, and insufficient food, and the Department of Homeland Security abruptly terminated an internal investigation into allegations of excessive force and abuses by guards at the facility. Nonetheless, the government has asserted that Moshannon will allow defense counsel to bring laptops into the facility and accommodate longer legal visits.

We. . . will update the Court once there is more visibility into Mr. Abrego’s access to counsel and ability to prepare for trial at Moshannon. . . .


Wherever this next ends up going -- we will let uou know after October 6, 2025. Onward.
