A federal judge in Tennessee will hear arguments regarding allegations of vindictive prosecution against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who faces human smuggling charges. The judge previously canceled the trial, indicating sufficient evidence to warrant this hearing. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran native, was deported to El Salvador despite a court order against such action due to fears of persecution, and he has pleaded not guilty to the charges. He was released from immigration detention in December after being blocked from deportation.
