Federal judge to decide if Kilmar Abrego Garcia stays in detention or is released pending trial.

A federal judge in Tennessee will hear arguments from prosecutors on July 16 regarding the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia pending his trial. Previously, Judge Barbara Holmes ordered Garcia’s release with conditions, but the government requested a stay, leading to this hearing. Prosecutors argue there are no bail conditions that can ensure community safety or Garcia’s court appearance. His legal team seeks 72 hours' notice before any removal from the U.S. in the event of his release.
