US EditionUS judge fails to rule on status of returned deportee Abrego; future of smuggling case uncertain
TENNESSEE, UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr. will rule on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's pretrial release amid disputes over his flight risk and potential deportation before his 2026 human smuggling trial.
- On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr. weighed whether Kilmar Abrego Garcia should be released, as he will issue a ruling next week.
- Earlier this year, Abrego Garcia was mistakenly deported from Maryland to El Salvador, where he was allegedly tortured, then returned last month to face charges.
- Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Peter Joseph testified about the 2022 Putnam County traffic stop, describing claims from cooperating witnesses that Garcia transported minors unsafely and behaved inappropriately toward women.
- Crenshaw signaled skepticism, saying, `he's having a hard time` with the government's no-conditions claim, noting concerns about related witnesses' coordination.
- Beyond the courtroom, ICE officials said they may deport him to Mexico or South Sudan if released, as the court prepares to decide on his release next week.
