Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s subsequent arrival to El Salvador sparked a saga of protests and distrust between Trump’s administration and citizens. It continues Friday at a court in Tennessee.

By Luc Cohen NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Reuters) -Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the migrant returned to the U.S. last week after being wrongfully deported to his native El Salvador, is due in court on Friday to enter a plea to criminal charges of taking part in a conspiracy to smuggle migrants into the United States.

The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC), the immigrant advocacy organization, CASA, priests, labor unions, and civil rights organizations held a press conference on the steps of the First Lutheran Church Friday morning. The purpose is to oppose all the immigration enforcement operations ordered by the Trump administration.

Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia have asked a federal judge in Maryland to impose fines against the Trump administration for contempt, arguing that it flagrantly ignored court orders for several weeks to return him to the U.S. from El Salvador.
