U.S. District Court Judge Waverly Crenshaw on Thursday ordered the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) respond to the Tuesday request by Kilmar Abrego Garcia for the court to toss his federal human smuggling case, arguing he is being vindictively prosecuted by the Trump administration.

The New York defense attorney representing Kilmar Abrego Garcia in the federal human smuggling case against him out of Tennessee confirmed on Friday that the alleged human smuggler was released from U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) custody following his previous request to remain incarcerated for an additional 30 days, citing concerns over possibly being deported again.
Those concerns were mollified last month by an order issued by U.S. District Court Judge Paula Xinis in Maryland, who prohibited U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from arresting Abrego Garcia immediately following his release from DOJ custody, and instead must give the illegal immigrant and his attorneys a 48-hour notice should they move forward with an immigration case against him. Xinis also required ICE to detain Abrego Garcia in Maryland, should he be arrested again by immigration authorities.
