UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – Attorneys and the Department of Justice agreed to a 30-day custody extension to prevent Kilmar Abrego Garcia's immediate deportation while legal challenges over his detention and charges proceed.
- Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident charged with human smuggling, remains in U.S. custody during ongoing criminal proceedings in Tennessee.
- His legal troubles began after an erroneous March deportation to El Salvador violated a 2019 judge's order preventing his removal due to gang violence risks.
- A federal magistrate judge ordered Abrego Garcia's release last month, but the Justice Department appealed, and Judge Waverly Crenshaw held a recent hearing on revoking that order.
- On Sunday, both the prosecution and Kilmar Abrego Garcia's defense team jointly requested a 30-day delay on any release order to allow time for reviewing legal strategies amid ongoing deportation concerns.
- If Crenshaw rejects the government’s motion, Abrego Garcia would be freed from criminal detention but immediately placed into immigration custody to begin deportation procedures, adding complexity to his situation.
