U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis barred federal immigration authorities from immediately taking Kilmar Abrego Garcia into custody once he is released from criminal confinement in Tennessee.

Judge Xinis said she is 'deeply concerned' that without restraint, the Trump administration will seek to hurry Abrego Garcia out of the country for a second time.

A federal judge in Tennessee declined on Wednesday to undo a separate judge’s decision to let Kilmar Abrego Garcia remain free while he awaits trial on human smuggling charges — though he’ll continue to remain behind bars for at least another month.

The native of El Salvador, who was mistakenly sent to his home country earlier this year, will for now remain in custody in Tennessee, where he faces criminal charges.

The Trump administration faces setbacks as judges in Tennessee and Maryland block the deportation of Salvadorian migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, with officials suggesting they may violate court orders.
