Kilmar Abrego Garcia released from criminal custody in Tennessee
Kilmar Abrego Garcia was released after a judge ruled prosecutors failed to prove he was a threat, while he continues to face federal human smuggling charges.
- On Friday, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was released from Putnam County Jail, Tennessee, and is en route to reunite with his family in Maryland while awaiting trial on federal human smuggling charges.
- U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia's release on Friday, barring immediate deportation without at least 72 hours' notice and restoring prior supervision conditions.
- Attorneys from Hecker Fink filed a motion earlier this week alleging vindictive prosecution after the April 10 ruling, citing Abrego Garcia's unlawful deportation to El Salvador and mistreatment, while judges questioned MS‑13 claims.
- After being released Friday, Abrego Garcia has 48 hours to return to Maryland before reporting for pre-trial supervision, and ICE officials said they will seek to detain and remove him.
- He is scheduled to stand trial on Tennessee human smuggling charges in January, with defence lawyers alleging government retaliation and the Justice Department accusing him of a multistate smuggling operation.
