Last month, U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes ordered Abrego Garcia not to be detained pending trial and set conditions for his release. However, after the federal government requested a stay of the order, a district judge scheduled an evidentiary hearing to allow the government to argue their request for his detention.

A federal judge in Tennessee could rule on whether to release Kilmar Abrego Garcia from jail as he awaits trial on human smuggling charges.

After months of legal battles, Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be released from federal custody in Tennessee on Wednesday, though the fight to keep him from being deported again continues.
