5. It all depends on the judge! It's subjective. It looks like most serve long terms.

And are not switched out like US attorneys

This was his previous judge:
Kessler, Elizabeth A.
554 48.7% 1.8% 49.5%
She is 50/50 on denials.

Abrego likely fell into 1.8%: Granted Other Relief

Based on what I know, it's probably going to be years before his asylum case is heard.

Way after his criminal trial.
I don't think he's eligible for an expedited hearing, but who knows?

I think if he's found guilty, I don't think he will eligible. But he will likely be eligible to stay while his appeal is heard. Also his charges could be downgraded. But even then, he will likely be denied. Who knows?

If he's found not guilty, he will linger around and wait for his asylum case, which will be a long time from now.
