Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the undocumented migrant who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador before being returned to the United States where he was charged with federal crimes, could be released from federal custody this week.

Judge Waverly Crenshaw is currently considering a motion which will determine the conditions under which Abrego Garcia could be released.

Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife, a U.S. citizen, and kids. Defense attorneys have asked the judge to give him 48 hours to report to pretrial supervision in Maryland. Attorneys explain if Abrego Garcia is released from custody in Tennessee, because he will no longer be in federal custody, he will need time to arrange for his travel from Tennessee to Maryland.
