💨 Abstract

A judge in Tennessee will decide if Kilmar Ábrego García, facing human trafficking charges, will be released from jail to await trial. ICE plans to detain and deport him if released. Ábrego García, a Salvadoran construction worker, was previously deported to El Salvador in March, violating a court order. The Trump administration alleges his gang affiliation, which he denies. Recently returned to the U.S., his legal team argues against deportation, citing potential threats from gangs.
