President Trump is attempting to box in Judge Paula Xinis, who's in charge of Kilmar's case.
Trump doesn't want him released, he wants the criminal trial to proceed with haste.
But Judge Xinis could release him on bail or just release him - so now President Trump is saying if he's released, he'll be deported immediately.
The President must be very certain that Kilmar will be convicted in his criminal trial.
If he's convicted, he gets deported.
If he's released, he gets deported.
So here's the question - if he's found not guilty, do you think the administration will deport him anyway?
