Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia are pushing for a dismissal of his Tennessee criminal case.
His attorneys argue in a court filing that he is being selectively and vindictively prosecuted by the Trump administration.
Abrego Garcia was originally deported from the U.S. in what the Trump administration said was a mistake, but later alleged he was a member of a gang.
He is now facing human trafficking charges, which were filed after he was returned from El Salvador.
Abrego Garcia was living in Prince George’s County before deportation.
