Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a 30-year-old illegal migrant, alleged MS-13 gang member, and accused human smuggler, was released from a Tennessee
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a 30-year-old illegal migrant, alleged MS-13 gang member, and accused human smuggler, was released from a Tennessee jail Friday and is now en route to Maryland under private security escort, despite serious concerns raised by law enforcement and federal officials.
Abrego Garcia had been detained at the Putnam County Jail since June, after the Trump administration facilitated his return from El Salvador to face human smuggling charges in the U.S. The release was granted by U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes while his federal case moves forward, according to the New York Post.
“Today, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free,” his attorney Sean Hecker told Fox17. “He is presently en route to his family in Maryland, after being unlawfully arrested and deported, and then imprisoned, all because of the government’s vindictive attack on a man who had the courage to fight back against the Administration’s continuing assault on the rule of law.
