Kilmar Abrego Garcia will remain incarcerated in Tennessee for at least another week after a federal judge heard prosecutors’ arguments that he poses a flight risk and a danger to the community if released.

Abrego Garcia became a flashpoint over the Republican Trump’s immigration policies when he was wrongfully deported to his native El Salvador in March. That expulsion violated a U.S. immigration judge’s 2019 order that shields Abrego Garcia from deportation to El Salvador because he likely faces threats of gang violence there.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - The federal human trafficking case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia continues on Wednesday in Nashville. Garcia returns to the Fred D. Thompson Federal Building & Courthouse on Wednesday afternoon, and District Court Judge Waverly Crenshaw will take a second look at the ruling to release him from DOJ custody.
