Federal judge says Abrego Garcia can be released on bail. That doesn’t mean he will be

Protestors call for the release of Maryland resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported to CECOT prison in El Salvador before the administration of US President Donald Trump admitted he was sent there due to an "administrative error," at a protest in Los Angeles, California, on May 1. Since the protest, Abrego Garcia was returned to the U.S. and has been in federal prison awaiting trial for human smuggling charges.

A federal judge in Tennessee ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia can be released on bail while he awaits trial on human smuggling charges. But ICE has indicated it may arrest him if he leaves prison.
