NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A federal judge in Tennessee plans to order the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whose mistaken deportation to El Salvador has become a flashpoint in President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, while he awaits a federal trial on human smuggling charges.
But Abrego Garcia is not expected to go free because U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will likely take him into custody and possibly try to deport him.
In a ruling on Sunday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes denied the U.S. government’s motion to keep Abrego Garcia in detention before his trial. She scheduled a hearing for Wednesday to discuss the conditions of his release.
The U.S. government has already filed a motion to appeal the judge’s decision and is asking the judge to stay her impending release order.
Abrego Garcia pleaded not guilty on June 13 to smuggling charges that his attorneys have characterized as an attempt to justify his mistaken deportation in March to a notorious prison in El Salvador after the fact. That hearing was the first chance the Maryland construction worker had in a U.S. courtroom to answer the Trump administration’s allegations.
The smuggling charges stem from a 2022 traffic stop for speeding in Tennessee during which Abrego Garcia was driving a vehicle with nine passengers. Although officers suspected possible smuggling, he was allowed to go on his way with only a warning.

Boot out the judge who apparently is overreaching.
Unbelievable
An illegal alien, previously deported recidivist and she’s gonna spring him?
Clearly a political move out of spite
The bottom line. This guy will never be allowed to remain in the U.S. unless it’s in a prison cell.
Convicted in absentia....sounds about right.
F’ck Democrat judges,and damn them to HELL!!!!
We seriously need that ‘Nationwide Injunction’ from SCOTUS ASAP
Ruling
Just deport him and dare this idiot judge to do anything about it.
L
If they released him in the population and committed another crime, the judge should be put up on felony charges.
AOC / Kilmar Abrego Garcia 2028!!!
The guy is a problem, but the judge is a disaster. Can we send them both to El Salvador?
Match made in heaven
That’s troubling
You’ll find her by the back door of the courtroom, showing the good family man how to escape from ICE.
Absolutely agree but time after time we reach the conclusion here that judges are out of reach of the law and are not legally responsible for crimes of people they free.
Part of our lousy system that treats “the law” and “the system” as sacred while allowing people to suffer as victims of the crimes.
Good
Detaining the judge sounds like a plan.....
And who is surprised by this?
We live with a Soros-controlled judicial system. Until the judges are replaced, this will continue.
Obama stooge
