Hey @W.TN.Orange Blood

Must suck to be wrong. As always.

The 30-year-old Maryland man at the center of the Trump administration's controversial plan to send migrants to a Salvadoran megaprison was released from custody Aug. 22, more than five months after his arrest and illegal deportation.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, is now set to return to his wife and children as his deportation case continues in a winding court battle that spans multiple states and countries – even coming before the U.S. Supreme Court. His lawyers have sought to prevent him from being arrested once more by immigration officials.

Attorney Sean Hecker told The Tennessean, part of USA TODAY Network, that Abrego Garcia was free and on his way to Maryland.

Alleged MS-13 Gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia Home in Maryland After Release From Jail — But Faces Quick Deportation To Uganda​


Alleged MS-13 gangbanger and accused human smuggler Kilmar Abrego Garcia was released from a Tennessee jail Friday and returned to his family in Maryland — but could be deported to Uganda by the end of the weekend, with ICE demanding he check in Monday.

The illegal migrant is en route to the Old Line State with a private security escort — returning for the first time since he was mistakenly booted from the country in March — but has just 48 hours to reach his brother’s house, where he will remain under strict home detention conditions, US Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes ruled.

View attachment 766180
Abrego Garcia’s attorneys wrote in a court filing earlier this week that they hired a private security company to escort him across state lines, with Holmes granting his release as his federal human smuggling case moves forward.

The Salvadoran is required to wear an ankle monitor, report to Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Baltimore office and may leave home only for work, religious services and other approved activities, according to the ruling.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said his release was “a new low.”

“By ordering this monster loose on America’s streets, the judge has shown a complete disregard for the safety of the American people,” she wrote on X.

“By ordering this monster loose on America’s streets, the judge has shown a complete disregard for the safety of the American people,” she wrote on X.

Shortly after his release, Abrego Garcia’s lawyers were notified by the Department of Homeland Security and ICE that the federal agencies may deport him to Uganda “no earlier than 72 hours from now,” sources told Fox News.

“He will face justice for his crimes. It’s an insult to his victims that this left-wing magistrate intervened to put him back on the streets. Garcia will be subject to ankle monitoring to ensure the safety of the American public until further action can be taken.”

Alleged MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia home in Maryland after release from jail — but faces quick deportation to Uganda

Abrego Garcia, 30, had been held at Putnam County Jail in Cookeville since June, after the Trump administration arranged his return from El Salvador to face human smuggling charges.

Good luck with that. The more likely scenario is ICE provides the judge notice of intent, then Garcia's attorneys file a motion that prevents deportation. I doubt his attorneys would have allowed his release and possible detainment by ICE without having a workable plan in place. The judges in question are likely primed and ready to smack down the obscene Trump administration goons like Kristi Botox again if necessary.

Noem is just butthurt because she was humiliated (and lied to the public) regarding the Garcia case and was savagely ridiculed by the South Park dudes.

Is it bad that I don't really care either way? I didn't really see the issue when we sent him back home in Nicaragua and I don't care he is free now here.

Maybe someone can correct me but he has a valid deportation order, he is an illegal. The original order is still valid so he can be deported via that order just not to El Salvador.

I'm not sure what the problem is. Nobody has claimed he isn't here illegally.

So tell me... If ICE even *suspected* that Garcia was committing human trafficking, why would they just let him go? Perhaps there really was no substantial evidence? After all, as you said, ICE / DHS was notified *during* the stop, and they simply opted to let him go, scot free.

For such a "heinous crime" as you claim, this makes zero sense.

It makes sense when you know that the stop occurred in 2022 and then understand what administration and policies were in play.

Because the Biden Administration directed them to do so as part of their "enforcement" policy.

And THP wanted to pursue further charges which is why they contacted DHS to begin with. If he had been living in TN instead of passing thru, THP would've arrested him outright instead of the citations. The only reason they didn't arrest him was because he had a Maryland ID so they could identify him outright. If he didn't, they wouldn't have given him citations per the exemption to arrest

There is no notice of intent required. He is still an illegal with two deportation orders outstanding. ICE will simply pick him up and ship him to another country. Nothing changes that.

Wrong.

Comparing human trafficking prosecutions under the Biden and Trump administrations requires looking at available data, which is incomplete for 2025 but sufficient for trends up to 2024. The Biden administration (2021–2025) shows higher prosecution numbers than the Trump administration (2017–2021), though differences in data reporting, policy focus, and enforcement context complicate direct comparisons.

### Key Data Points
- **Biden Administration**:
- In **fiscal year 2021**, 2,027 persons were referred to U.S. attorneys for human trafficking offenses, a 49% increase from 1,360 in 2011. Prosecutions doubled from 729 in 2011 to 1,672 in 2021. Of 1,197 defendants charged in federal court in 2021, 92% were male, and 60% were white.[](https://bjs.ojp.gov/library/publications/human-trafficking-data-collection-activities-2023)
- In **2022**, the Department of Justice (DOJ) reported 1,656 human trafficking suspects prosecuted, described as higher than under the Trump administration and double the number from 2012.[](https://www.newsweek.com/human-trafficking-rise-what-will-next-president-do-about-it-1978643)[](https://cssh.northeastern.edu/human-trafficking-is-on-the-rise-what-will-the-next-president-do-about-it/)
- In **2024**, the DOJ secured notable cases, including a landmark life sentence and $80,000 restitution in a forced child labor case. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) reported 2,545 human trafficking-related arrests and assisted 818 victims, reflecting robust enforcement.[](https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2025/01/17/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-reviews-actions-to-combat-human-trafficking/)[](https://www.dhs.gov/archive/news/2022/12/29/president-biden-signs-legislation-codifies-and-expands-dhs-fight-against-human)
- The Biden administration emphasized a victim-centered approach, with over 43,000 potential trafficking situations reported to the National Human Trafficking Hotline (2021–2024) and support for over 20,000 survivors.[](https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2025/01/17/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-reviews-actions-to-combat-human-trafficking/)[](https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-reviews-actions-combat-human-trafficking)

- **Trump Administration**:
- In **fiscal year 2017** (partially under Obama), 553 defendants were charged in federal trafficking cases, dropping to 386 in 2018 and 343 in 2019.[](https://www.factcheck.org/2020/08/viral-chart-distorts-human-trafficking-statistics/)
- In **2019**, federal law enforcement initiated over 1,600 new investigations, and DOJ-funded state/local task forces opened over 2,500 cases. ICE-HSI reported 2,197 trafficking-related arrests in 2019, the highest during Trump’s term, though earlier years saw lower numbers (1,602 in 2017, 1,588 in 2018).[](https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/trump-administration-committed-combating-human-trafficking-protecting-innocent/)[](https://www.factcheck.org/2020/08/viral-chart-distorts-human-trafficking-statistics/)
- Trump’s DOJ received nearly $101 million in 2020 for anti-trafficking efforts, doubling prior funding, and the administration signed nine bipartisan anti-trafficking laws.[](https://www.americafirstpolicy.com/issues/where-is-president-biden-on-human-trafficking)[](https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/trump-administration-committed-combating-human-trafficking-protecting-innocent/)

### Analysis
- **Prosecution Numbers**: The Biden administration prosecuted more human trafficking suspects, with 1,656 in 2022 alone surpassing Trump’s peak of 553 defendants charged in 2017. The 2021 data (1,672 prosecuted) also exceeds Trump’s annual figures.[](https://www.newsweek.com/human-trafficking-rise-what-will-next-president-do-about-it-1978643)[](https://cssh.northeastern.edu/human-trafficking-is-on-the-rise-what-will-the-next-president-do-about-it/)[](https://www.factcheck.org/2020/08/viral-chart-distorts-human-trafficking-statistics/)
- **Arrests vs. Prosecutions**: Trump’s administration reported high arrest numbers (e.g., 2,197 ICE-HSI arrests in 2019), but prosecutions didn’t scale proportionally, suggesting not all arrests led to charges. Biden’s HSI arrests in 2024 (2,545) were comparable or higher, with stronger emphasis on convictions.[](https://www.dhs.gov/archive/news/2022/12/29/president-biden-signs-legislation-codifies-and-expands-dhs-fight-against-human)[](https://www.factcheck.org/2020/08/viral-chart-distorts-human-trafficking-statistics/)
- **Policy Differences**: Biden’s National Action Plan (2021) focused on prevention, protection, prosecution, and partnerships, expanding victim services and labor trafficking enforcement. Trump prioritized prosecutions and created the Center for Countering Human Trafficking (CCHT), but critics noted an overemphasis on sex trafficking and immigration-related enforcement, potentially reducing focus on labor trafficking.[](https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2025/01/17/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-reviews-actions-to-combat-human-trafficking/)[](https://www.cfr.org/blog/combating-human-trafficking-and-biden-administration)[](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-elections-trafficking-trfn/u-s-anti-trafficking-groups-urge-biden-to-shift-focus-from-sex-to-labor-idUSKBN27Q3A8/)
- **Contextual Factors**: Biden’s higher numbers may reflect improved reporting, training (e.g., DOJ’s Forced Labor Initiative), and victim identification (43,000+ hotline reports). Trump’s numbers were hampered by a prosecution dip in 2018–2019, possibly due to policy shifts or resource allocation.[](https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2025/01/17/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-reviews-actions-to-combat-human-trafficking/)[](https://www.factcheck.org/2020/08/viral-chart-distorts-human-trafficking-statistics/)[](https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-reviews-actions-combat-human-trafficking)

### Caveats
- **Data Gaps**: Full 2025 data for Biden’s term is unavailable, and Trump’s second term (2025–) is too recent to compare comprehensively.[](https://www.newsweek.com/human-trafficking-rise-what-will-next-president-do-about-it-1978643)
- **Arrest vs. Prosecution Metrics**: Arrests (emphasized under Trump) don’t always translate to prosecutions, which Biden’s DOJ prioritized. Misleading social media claims, like QAnon-driven charts, exaggerated Trump’s arrest figures (e.g., claiming 5,987 in 2018 vs. actual 1,588).[](https://www.factcheck.org/2020/08/viral-chart-distorts-human-trafficking-statistics/)[](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/aug/12/viral-image/graph-showing-rising-human-trafficking-arrests-und/)
- **Border Policies**: Critics argue Biden’s border policies increased trafficking risks, with 370,573 unaccompanied minors reported (2021–2023) vs. 159,398 under Trump (2017–2019). However, prosecution increases under Biden suggest enforcement didn’t wane.[](https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_a65f321e-923a-11ef-afd2-fbd8a3646129.html)

### Conclusion

The Biden administration prosecuted more human trafficking cases than the Trump administration, with 2021–2022 figures (1,672 and 1,656) exceeding Trump’s peak (553 in 2017). Biden’s focus on victim-centered strategies and labor trafficking likely drove higher prosecution rates, while Trump’s emphasis on arrests and funding didn’t always yield proportional convictions. Data inconsistencies and political narratives (e.g., false claims about Biden rescinding Trump’s orders) muddy direct comparisons, but available evidence points to Biden’s DOJ pursuing more cases.[](https://www.newsweek.com/human-trafficking-rise-what-will-next-president-do-about-it-1978643)[](https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2025/01/17/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-reviews-actions-to-combat-human-trafficking/)[](https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-biden-trump-executive-order-child-sex-trafficking-333295365189)

Wrong again. DHS / ICE is required to provide the judge in the case 72 hours notice of its intent... which it apparently already has. Which means DHS will likely be slapped with a legal injunction shortly signed by said judge.

I have no idea what the problem is, as they said from the beginning he has a deportation order. The only possible issue was where he would get deported to.

I am unsure of what the problem could be at this point?

I am not wrong. the DHS under Biden had many people they could've prosecuted but didn't. Thus why illegal immigration is now on a sharp decline with the almost zero tolerance policy changes by ICE. As for THP you could read the actual report, OR you could even talk to some of the officers involved. They aren't hard to find in your parts!

Son, here's the situation. If you need a link, lemme know:

On July 23, 2025, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ordered that ICE must restore Abrego Garcia’s prior legal status (under ICE supervision in Baltimore) and provide his attorneys at least 72 hours’ notice before initiating any deportation proceedings to a third country. This ruling ensures that any attempt to deport him must allow his legal team time to challenge the action in court, effectively requiring judicial oversight.

True, but what is there to judicial review? He's not being deported under the other Act, he appears to be being deported by the original deportation order.

It would seem pretty simple at this point, the government contends they are ejecting him to Uganda which would comply with the original deportation order. This is exactly what Miller said at the very beginning, the only issue really is where he couldn't be deported to i.e. El Salvador.

That only covers El Salvador, and the higher court already ruled on this...This time next week, he will be beating on Ugandan women
