A federal judge in Tennessee ordered Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia to be released from U.S. Marshals’ custody pending a criminal trial, while another federal judge in Maryland issued an order on Wednesday preventing him from being quickly deported.
Judge Waverly Crenshaw of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee ordered on Wednesday that Abrego Garcia be released from custody. The order came roughly at the same time U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ordered the Trump administration to return Abrego Garcia to Immigration and Customs Enforcement supervision in Maryland once he is released from custody in Tennessee.
