On June 22, a federal judge in Nashville denied the government's attempt to keep Kilmar Abrego Garcia detained. The judge set a June 25 hearing on the conditions for his release. I wonder what possessed the judge to set a human trafficker free to roam the streets with impunity.
A federal judge in Tennessee has ruled that a Salvadoran migrant at the heart of the debate over President Donald Trump’s border security policies must be released from jail while he awaits trial on human smuggling charges.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes ruled in Nashville on June 22 that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, 29, cannot remain in detention, denying the federal government's request. The judge set a June 25 hearing in Nashville to determine the conditions of Abrego Garcia's release.
In a 51-page ruling, Holmes said the federal government “failed to meet its burden of showing a properly supported basis for detention on grounds that (Abrego Garcia) poses an irremediable danger to the community or is likely not to appear."
