The Trump administration should be sanctioned over extrajudicial statements that have damaged Kilmar Abrego Garcia's right to a fair trial, a motion filed in Tennessee federal court on Friday alleges.

In the 14-page motion for sanctions, the Maryland man's attorneys are asking U.S. District Judge Waverly Crenshaw, Jr., a Barack Obama appointee, to first get to the bottom of the latest dispute.

Specifically, the motion asks for an order forcing the government to disclose information about "multiple highly prejudicial, inflammatory, and false statements" allegedly made by Chief Border Patrol Agent Gregory Bovino during appearances on Fox News and NewsMax.

The request comes as part of Abrego Garcia's criminal case on human smuggling charges out of the Middle District of Tennessee.

How many people have to die, be harmed, or just harassed before this sh*t show is brought down?
