Holmes has kept Abrego Garcia in jail at the request of his lawyers over concerns the Trump administration will try to deport him upon release. The attorneys asked Holmes to keep him in jail until Wednesday’s hearing before Crenshaw to review her release order.

For the third time in a little more than a month, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was in a Nashville courthouse July 16, for a hearing meant to determine whether he remains in federal custody. Judge Waverly Crenshaw said at the conclusion of the two-hour hearing that he will likely rule next week.
