💨 Abstract

A Tennessee judge ordered the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an El Salvadoran citizen, while he awaits trial on human smuggling charges. However, he may be detained by ICE due to a previous deportation mistake. Garcia's attorneys argue the charges are an attempt to justify the error. A hearing is scheduled to discuss release conditions, and the U.S. government plans to appeal the release order. Prosecutors claim Garcia could deported before trial.
