Tennessee judge to hear arguments about releasing Kilmar Abrego Garcia from pretrial detention
- On June 13, 2025, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was arraigned on human smuggling charges before a federal judge in Nashville and entered a plea of not guilty.
- He was sent back to the United States in June following his removal to El Salvador in March 2025, an action that a Maryland judge later ordered to be reversed to allow his return.
- The indictment alleges Abrego Garcia led a conspiracy from 2016 to 2025 to illegally transport undocumented migrants, including minors, across the U.S.
- Over 100 demonstrators gathered outside the federal courthouse in Nashville to oppose his prosecution, displaying messages such as "F*** ICE" and "Stop ICE Kidnappings," while his defense team challenged the government's case for relying heavily on hearsay evidence.
- Federal prosecutors argue Abrego Garcia poses a danger and a flight risk, seeking his detention, while his return highlights ongoing disputes over immigration enforcement and due process.
