Overview

  • Ábrego García was released Friday from Putnam County Jail and is headed to Maryland to live with family under court conditions and report to ICE in Baltimore.
  • He has pleaded not guilty to charges tied to a 2022 Tennessee speeding stop, where body-camera video shows a calm exchange and troopers issued only a warning.
  • Homeland Security did not begin investigating the 2022 stop until April 2025, after his erroneous March deportation drew legal and public scrutiny.
  • Defense lawyers moved this week to dismiss the case as retaliatory, arguing prosecutors targeted him for fighting his removal to El Salvador.
  • Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes ordered his release following earlier rulings by Judges Waverly Crenshaw and Paula Xinis that restored ICE supervision in Baltimore and require 72 hours’ notice before any deportation attempt, even as DHS says it intends to seek removal to an unspecified third country.
