Abrego Garcia released from the Federal Guard in the middle of the Deportation Battle

Migrant Salvadoran Kilmar Abrego Garcia was released from the Federal Guard on Friday in Tennessee and is expected to return to his family in Maryland, although his legal proceedings are far from over.

Abrego Garcia, who was accused earlier this year of having transported illegal immigrants to the United States, will remain under the care of his brother. The accusations arose from a traffic cessation in 2022, but the court documents later revealed that the investigation had started when he was imprisoned in Salvador, which raised the way in which the investigation was carried out.

The American judge Barbara Holmes made an order on Friday in the district of the middle of Tennessee which established the conditions of the liberation of Abrego Garcia, placing it under the guard of his brother as a third -party goalkeeper before the trial. He must carry an electronic surveillance system, record with preliminary services in Maryland and report there at the latest at 10 a.m. on August 25.

“Subsequently, Abrego must remain in the care of his brother as a third -party guardian designated and in accordance with all the conditions of liberation before the trial,” said Holmes in his order.

The news of her release met a fierce reaction by some Trump officials. Friday, the secretary of the DHS, Kristi Noem, denounced the decision of “militant liberal judges” who “tried to obstruct” the application of the law.

“We will not stop fighting as long as this salvadoinous man faces justice and is not out of our country,” she promised.

Fox News was informed by several sources that neither DHS nor Ice had “immediate plans” to arrest Abrego Garcia for immigration land due to the conditions set out by a federal judge in Maryland.

However, the conditions for his release – codified in excruciating details in distinct orders from the federal courts of Tennessee and Maryland – have triggered the frustration of the staff of the two agencies, according to sources familiar with the issue.

The agencies would have consulted the Ministry of Justice on more in -depth directives, although all the next steps of the issue are not clear.

The lawyers of the Ministry of Justice had vehemently opposed the liberation of Abrego Garcia, arguing during a proof audience earlier this year that he was a danger to the community.

But Holmes and the American district judge Waverly Crenshaw Jr., also of Tennessee, determined separately that Garcia Garcia was eligible for the Liberation while waiting for the trial. Crenshaw, for his part, said in his decision that the Ministry of Justice “provides no evidence that there is something in the history of Abrego, or its exposed characteristics, which justifies detention”.

Holmes agreed to keep the release of Abrego Garcia from the Federal Guard in July for a 30 -day period that expired on Friday. She did it at the request of the lawyers of Abrego Garcia, who had cited the fears that the ice held him and immediately begins the process to remove it in a third country.

The Ministry of Justice officials told the American district judge Paula Xinis in Maryland last July that they were planning to immediately take Abrego Garcia in police custody while waiting for his release from the US Marshal in Tennee and to deport him to a third country, whatever the status of his criminal case.

“There is no intention of putting it in the limbo in police custody while we are waiting for the criminal affair to unfold, a lawyer told the Doj to Judge Xinis.

Later, she published an arrangement blocking ice by immediately expelling Abrego Garcia when he was released from the federal guard.

Xinis, who since March presided over the separate civil affair of several months which was brought by his family, also ordered the Trump administration in July to give Abrego Garcia a period of notice of 72 hours before starting any expulsion procedure. This was done, she said, to give him the opportunity to consult his lawyers or contest his referral to a third country via the appropriate channels.

Abrego Garcia was expelled to El Salvador in March in violation of an order from the 2019 court, and in what Trump administration officials later recognized being an “administrative error”.

He entered illegally into the country illegally and lived in Maryland with his wife and child when the authorities expelled him to a maximum security prison in El Salvador in March.

Trump officials said on several occasions that Greo Garcia is a vicious member of a MS-13 gang, a notion that Crenshaw rejected as “fanciful”.

Earlier this week, ABREGO GARCIA’s lawyers filed a request for rejection of the criminal affair against him, saying that in a new court depositing that the criminal affair of the Trump administration is equivalent to a “vindictive” and selective prosecution.

“These motions are rarely made and rarely succeed,” they recognized. “But if there has never been a case of dismissal for these reasons, it is this case.”
