Abrego Garcia became a flashpoint over the Republican Trump’s immigration policies when he was wrongfully deported to his native El Salvador in March. That expulsion violated a U.S. immigration judge’s 2019 order that shields Abrego Garcia from deportation to El Salvador because he likely faces threats of gang violence there.

Waverly Crenshaw, the federal judge handling the case in Tennessee, heard testimony Wednesday but said he will not issue an immediate ruling on whether there are appropriate conditions to release Abrego Garcia.
