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.

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.

The first time Abrego Garcia was deported in March, the U.S. illegally took him to a Salvadorian mega prison. It brought him back June 6 to face criminal charges in Tennessee. After two hearings, Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes ruled he should be released from jail before trial.
