Salvadoran immigrant Kilmar Ábrego García, 42, will remain in federal custody in Tennessee until at least July 16, 2025, according to an order issued by U.S. District Judge Barbara Holmes. The decision seeks to prevent an immediate deportation, following revelations that the Department of Justice (DOJ) intends to have ICE deport him to a third country, other than his native El Salvador, from which he was wrongfully removed in March under the Trump administration.
Holmes approved the request of Kilmar Ábrego García’s defense attorneys, who warned that his release could allow ICE to immediately detain him for removal out of the country, even though his case is still ongoing. The immigrant was returned to the U.S. on June 6 by court order, after it was determined that his removal in March was illegal and violated injunctions imposed by a Maryland court.
An irregular and questioned deportation

Kilmar Ábrego García was initially deported to El Salvador along with more than 230 other migrants, mostly Venezuelans.
In an operation promoted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
However, his case stood out because he had active judicial protection.
The Maryland court, headed by Judge Paula Xinis, found that the government violated court orders in executing the deportation.
Given the evidence, Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that the government decided to bring him back “to face charges of human trafficking”.
However, the defense of Kilmar Ábrego García maintains that there is no real intention to try him, but rather to prevent him from continuing to litigate his expulsion.
Key hearing in July
Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s attorneys have requested a stay of any deportation proceedings.
This is until after the hearing scheduled for July 16, where their immigration future will be defined.
They have also requested that he be transferred to Maryland, where the civil suit over his deportation originated.

The decision aims to prevent an immediate deportation
This case has become a symbol of the judicial fight against expedited deportations.
Especially after the recent Supreme Court ruling that authorizes ICE to send migrants to countries other than their own if there is a diplomatic agreement in place.
