💨 Abstract

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, is set to be released from jail in Tennessee but will likely be taken into immigration custody. Garcia, who was mistakenly deported under Donald Trump's immigration policies, faces two counts of human smuggling related to a 2022 traffic stop. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes ordered his release, citing no flight risk or danger to the community. Both prosecutors and defense expect ICE to detain him.
