A jail release order from a Tennessee court requires Kilmar Abrego Garcia to travel directly to Maryland, where he'll be in home detention with his brother as his custodian.

Abrego Garcia had been in government custody since he was apprehended by immigration authorities in Maryland in March and illegally deported.

It remains unclear what will happen next to Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. The Justice Department has said that if he was released from custody in Tennessee, it would likely seek to re-deport him.

Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia asked a federal judge on Tuesday to dismiss a human smuggling case against him, saying the government was prosecuting the Maryland construction worker to punish him for challenging his removal to El Salvador.
