Federal Magistrate Orders Trump to Release Abrego Garcia

A Tennessee judge has ordered the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia--a suspected MS-13 member accused of smuggling migrants, narcotics, and ammunition into the U.S.
Key Details:
U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes ruled Sunday that the government failed to prove Kilmar Abrego Garcia should remain in federal custody before trial.
Garcia, a Salvadoran national, is accused of making over 100 border-crossing trips as part of a years-long smuggling operation. He was deported in March, only to be returned to the U.S. in June to face criminal charges.
Despite acknowledging ICE would likely detain Garcia regardless, Holmes wrote that "the strength of the factors weighing in favor of release outweighs all other factors in favor of detention."
Diving Deeper:
A federal magistrate in Tennessee has ordered the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal migrant accused of operating a wide-ranging human smuggling ring and suspected of gang affiliations. The decision--handed down Sunday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes--denied federal prosecutors' request to keep Garcia in detention ahead of his trial.
According to court records, Garcia allegedly ran a years-long smuggling operation involving over 100 border-crossing trips. Prosecutors say he helped transport not just illegal migrants, but also narcotics and ammunition throughout the country. Despite these allegations, Holmes said the prosecution did not sufficiently prove that Garcia posed either a flight risk or a danger to the public.
"Overall, the strength of the factors weighing in favor of release outweighs all other factors in favor of detention," Holmes wrote in her ruling. "Particularly given the clear default under the law that persons who have not yet been convicted of a crime should be released pending trial."
The Trump administration quickly moved to counter the ruling, filing a notice of appeal and signaling that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would likely take Garcia into custody regardless of the court's release order. Holmes herself acknowledged that her decision may ultimately be symbolic. "Either Abrego will remain in the custody of the Attorney General... or he will likely remain in ICE custody subject to anticipated removal proceedings that are outside the jurisdiction of this Court," she noted.

The Assistant Secretary of DHS says: Never.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a dangerous criminal illegal alien.

We have said it for months and it remains true to this day: he will never go free on American soil. https://t.co/UVv8vongBS

@HansMahncke
Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes--who just went to bat for accused human trafficker Kilmar Abrego--is yet another reminder of how far the system has drifted. Like Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, who authorized the brazenly political FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, she isn't a proper judge in the constitutional sense. She's more like a substitute teacher handed the full authority of the principal.
The Constitution lays out a clear process for appointing federal judges: they're nominated by the president, confirmed by the Senate, and granted life tenure under Article III. That system has produced its share of terrible appointments, but at least it follows the constitutional structure. Magistrate judges, by contrast, exist entirely outside that framework. They're appointed by district judges, not elected officials, and were originally intended as limited judicial aides. Over time, however, they've been handed sweeping powers the Constitution never envisioned.

Two magistrate judges in DC are largely responsible for arrest warrants of 1,600 J6ers. They are not Senate approved and have zero accountability. Good post.

13 This is an order to release Garcia on the criminal charges.

In the Trump application for a stay, they make explicit note that this doesn't apply to the immigration issue and imply heavily that they'll just pick him right back up and deport him again.

The Trump admin brought him here to be an example, and they're going to make sure that example is made.

Still wish they'd left him in El Salvador, though.

They should have left him in El Salvador, but if they can make an example of him by convicting him for a prison sentence of like 20 years, which they get a foreign country to manage by deporting him to some place like Sudan, then it'll be a good second choice.

70% of the people being picked up by ICE are signing waivers that waive any rights to habeus corpus or any other defenses against their deportation.

Under current manpower, ICE is managing about 3000 a day. That's more than 2000 a day just gone with no muss and no fuss.

Focusing on Garcia, one of the worst exemplars of their cause, no matter what some magistrate judge does, is not going to matter to the overall deportation effort.

157 I've come to expect stupidity and mendacity from the Dems but this is a whole new level of incompetent lies. It will not end well for them.

Democrats Got Caught in a Huge Lie About Trump’s Iran Strike
The White House, contrary to the manufactured narrative, conducted its due diligence and reached out to leaders on both sides of the aisle. The administration’s outreach efforts were comprehensive, but in a detail that speaks volumes, the top Democrat in the House was apparently unavailable to take a call of such national security importance.
"In fact, Hakeem Jeffries couldn't be reached," she explained... Chuck Schumer was briefed prior to the strike...The lie was so egregious and so easily disproven that even CNN and Sen. Schumer's office, once confronted with incontrovertible evidence, had to beat a hasty retreat. "So this notion that CNN ran with, that the White House did not give a heads-up to Democrats is just completely false," Leavitt declared. "In fact, both Sen. Schumer's office and CNN had to retract that story last night because it was a blatant lie, and we showed them the timestamps from those phone calls."

164 Continued from #157
Beyond just debunking the central lie, Leavitt exposed the fundamental flaw in the Democrats' entire grievance campaign. The notifications, she argued, were not a legal requirement but a professional courtesy — a courtesy that Democrats repaid with dishonest attacks.

The president has every right to act decisively without consulting Congress yet chose to extend a respectful heads-up anyway.

"The White House was not obligated to call anyone because the President was acting within his legal authority under Article II of the Constitution as Commander in Chief of the President of the United States," Leavitt said. "We gave these calls as a courtesy."

This brings us to the pathetic heart of the matter. Why would Democrats and their media allies fabricate such a story? Why throw a tantrum over the process of a successful military operation that made America safer? Leavitt provided the obvious and damning answer: because they simply cannot stomach a victory under this president. Their Trump Derangement Syndrome makes it impossible for them to acknowledge a win for the country if it’s also a win for this administration.

He was brought back into the country by ICE.

ICE transferred him to the USMS so he could make an appearance in Court on the indictment.

ICE has always had an immigration hold on him.

A judge in the criminal case has found that he is not subject to detention under the Bail Reform Act re his criminal charge.

That does nothing to the ICE hold -- the Magistrate has no jurisdiction over Immigration Court matters.

If he is ordered released, it means released from the custody of the USMS.

He will go right back into the custody of ICE.

Not complicated -- unless you don't know how the two processes work side-by-side."

=====

Polling for 2028 right now is entirely driven by high propensity progressive voters. They are addicted to the news and will latch onto which ever is most prominent in the news right at that moment.

Remember Cory Booker's filibuster? It led to him being second in a couple of polls. He's faded hard since in favor of Newsom.

Why? Did Booker not have genuine support? Should we believe Newsom's boomlet more or less than Booker's?

Well, the people answering polls today, especially about the 28 Democrat primary, are a bad sample and will not reflect the actual electorate of the primary.

So much of presidential primary power (on the GOP side as well) is driven by name recognition. Hell, so much of politics in general is name recognition. It's how Lisa Murkowski becomes a force in Alaskan politics. People knew her daddy.

"But this person is an embarrassment and this other person is so good on the stump."

Yeah, but the first person is someone people know and the second person is someone no one knows and can't get media traction.

324 292 Question for the actual lawyers, as a legal principle, does due process necessitate a judge and a hearing? Or can due process be satisfied in some cases at the first point of contact with the accused?
Posted by: Bilwis Devourer of Innocent Souls

======

For deportation matters and illegal aliens, due process is an administrative hearing in front of an immigration judge where the judge asks for proof of legal residence. When they don't get it, the IJ issues a final deportation order.

That's the proper, established due process for illegals.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, reflecting on change and permanence with Ozu at June 23, 2025 01:19 PM (GBKbO)

325 Illegals have their own "due process" which is entirely separate and different from that given US citizens (or legal aliens, to some extent). Of course this basic fact is ignored (or unknown) by the hysterical idiots and those whipping them up with demagoguery.

The state party machine initiated a write in campaign against the official Democrat candidate. Wanna guess who got sworn in when the dust settled?

Go to a state where legislature races are relatively cheap (like South Carolina where legislators are part time so state house races are cheap), find some squishy backbencher, and then get some primary opponent's name on 10,000 signs around the district 3 months out from the election (along with other GOTV efforts).

Get that name recognition up.

Statement from the Qatari Ministry of Defense in response to the ballistic missile attack moments ago by Iran:

“The Ministry of Defense announced that Qatari air defenses successfully intercepted a missile attack targeting Al Udeid Air Base.

Thanks to God and the vigilance of the armed forces personnel and the precautionary measures taken, the incident resulted in no deaths or injuries.

The Ministry reaffirmed that the airspace and territory of the State of Qatar are safe and that the Qatari Armed Forces are always fully prepared to deal with any threat. The Ministry of Defense also advises citizens and residents to follow official sources for directives and the latest developments.”

I suppose he might give them a freebie to save face if there's some kind of negotiated ceasefire coming, but other than that I don't see Trump saying; 'Sure, light up our bases, I don't mind. You feel better now, Khameni? That's a good boy.'

I've been surprised before, though.

According to the New York Times, Iran coordinated the missile attack tonight on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar with Qatari officials and gave advanced notice that attacks were coming to minimize casualties, according to three Iranian officials familiar with the plans. The officials said Iran symbolically needed to strike back at the U.S. but at the same time carry it out in a way that allowed all sides an exit ramp; they described it as a similar strategy to 2020 when Iran gave Iraq heads up before firing ballistic missiles at Al-Asad Airbase in Iraq following the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani by President Trump.

BREAKING: Iran coordinated its attacks on US air base in Qatar with the Qatari government, giving advanced notice to minimize casualties - NYT

Iranian officials claimed Iran "symbolically" needed to strike back, but also wanted an exit ramp - similar to 2020.

Kind of makes me feel a little better about the failure theater here when Iran can have the kind of cultural and religious homogeneity not seen in the west since probably before the Protestant Reformation and do the same kind of thing.

421 NYT is talking out it's butt if it thinks you can coordinate "fake" responses. One missile going off course and the "fake" becomes real.

423 It seems that the Iranians thought piling up dirt in front of the entrances to Fordow would somehow stop GBU-57s from damaging their nuke sites. It reminds me of the Iraqis making berms hundreds of miles long to stop us during GW1.

Oh no, it's a ...pile of dirt!

Even the Israelis once made that mistake, with the Bar-Lev Line that they built on the E bank of the Suez Canal after the '67 war. 70 ft tall berms right at the edge of the canal, along with strong points and fortresses.

In '73, the Egyptians got creative and just breached the berms with fire hoses sucking water out of the canal. Took about 2 hours to break through in about 70-80 places. Another 3 hours to build bridges and the Gyppos were pouring through the gaps. The IDF had estimated that it would take close to 24 hours just to make suitable breaches.

425 I have to say, I love that the radical left media, politicians, and judges all hung their hats on this guy as the poster trial for due process.

Because the more we learn about his human trafficking, wife beating, pedo ways, the more it shows what complete idiots they are.

But in what universe would he NOT be a flight risk, were he released? Fine, the judge can have him detained on an ankle monitor at HER house until his trial.
