Judge again delays Abrego Garcia’s release from jail
A federal judge in Tennessee has ruled that Kilmar Abrego Garcia will stay in jail for now over concerns from his lawyers that he could be deported if he’s released. The judge was preparing to release him to await trial on human smuggling charges. Abrego Garcia’s attorneys had asked the judge Friday to delay his release. They raised concerns over what they described as “contradictory statements” by President Donald Trump’s administration. The Justice Department has said it intends to …

— with more than $1 trillion of those cuts coming from Medicaid alone.
The fresh estimates make official what many analysts had already predicted -- and some Republican lawmakers had feared.
