US EditionJudge denies government's motion to detain Kilmar Abrego Garcia
- On June 25, 2025, U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia released on bail pending his federal human smuggling charges in Nashville.
- Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen, faces charges stemming from a November 2022 traffic stop in Tennessee and was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March 2025 before his return in June.
- The judge ruled the government's evidence insufficient for detention and stressed that individuals not convicted should be released pending trial, while prosecutors appealed and defense urged DHS to delay deportation.
- About 20 protesters chanted 'Unmask ICE and bring them home!' outside the courthouse, and Abrego Garcia’s wife noted, 'Today he misses our wedding anniversary,' 106 days after his detention began.
- The case highlights tensions over immigration enforcement and due process, as prosecutors seek continued custody while advocates emphasize constitutional rights and potential ICE detention after release.
