Federal prosecutors in Nashville ask judge to keep Abrego Garcia detained until trial
A U.S. Department of Homeland Security officer stood watch at the rear of the Fred D. Thompson Federal as Kilmar Abrego Garcia was brought to Tennessee on criminal charges. (Photo: John Partipilo/Tennessee Lookout) Federal prosecutors on Monday detailed legal arguments for the detention-until-trial of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran man mistakenly deported by the Trump Administration. Abrego Garcia was returned to Nashville from El Salvador on Friday to face two criminal human smuggling charges tied to a 2022 Tennessee traffic stop. He appeared briefly in a downtown Nashville courtroom late Friday, and is scheduled to return to court this upcoming Friday for a formal arraignment of the charges against him. That hearing will also consider a motion by the Justice Department to keep Abrego Garcia in custody until the date of his trial, which has not yet been set. A federal grand jury indictment issued under seal May 21 and made public June 6 charges Abrego Garcia with 'conspiracy to unlawfully transport illegal aliens for financial gain' and 'unlawful transportation of illegal aliens for financial gain.' Kilmar Abrego Garcia, wrongly deported to El Salvador prison, to face federal charges in Nashville Abrego Garcia 'knowingly and unlawfully transported thousands of undocumented aliens' for profit between 2016 and 2025 as a member of the MS-13 gang, prosecutors said. Dumaka Shabazz, a federal public defender appointed to represent Garcia in the criminal case, declined comment on the charges Monday. 'At this date, we are not inclined to give a statement,' Shabazz said via email. The criminal charges stem from a November 2022 traffic stop in Putnam County by the Tennessee Highway Patrol, court records show. Abrego Garcia was driving an SUV with nine Hispanic men when he was pulled over for speeding on Interstate 40 in Putnam County, about 80 miles east of Nashville, court records said. He was not charged in the incident. Prosecutors now allege that further investigation revealed the stop involved Abrego Garcia smuggling migrants within the United States illegally. Abrego Garcia faces a potentially lengthy sentence: a maximum of ten years in prison for each person he allegedly transported. 'A stain on the Constitution': Abrego Garcia lawyers refuse to drop his case against U.S. A resident of Maryland until a prior traffic stop on March 12 this year, Abrego Garcia was dispatched within days to an El Salvador prison along with scores of other detainees. An immigrant from El Salvador, Abrego Garcia had received an immigration court order in 2019 that allowed him to reside in the United States and specifically barred the federal government from deporting him to El Salvador, where, he said, he feared gang violence. The prosecutors' memo seeking Abrego Garcia's detention until trial, filed in federal court Monday, alleges there is a 'serious risk' that Abrego Garcia 'and/or persons acting on his behalf will obstruct justice and/or intimidate the witnesses against him' should he be released from federal custody pending his trial. They also argued Abrego Garcia is a flight risk and a danger to the community. In their memo, prosecutors said they plan to raise allegations that children without legal immigration status were transported and 'used in unsafe ways' to avoid detection of Abrego Garcia's illegal smuggling activities. Abrego Garcia has not been charged with crimes involving the illegal transport of children. Prosecutors also acknowledged that, should Abrego Garcia be released pending trial, he would likely be immediately taken into the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to face further proceedings in immigration court. Nevertheless, they argued that ,should he not be taken into ICE custody, Abrego Garcia would have an 'enormous reason to flee.' U.S. Magistrate Barbara Holmes, who presided over Friday's brief hearing, has given Abrego's attorneys until Wednesday to file a legal response.

Eaton County feeling the impact of failed public safety millage
EATON COUNTY, Mich. (WLNS) – Officials in Eaton County say they're feeling the impacts of the failed public safety millage that appeared last November, and again at the beginning of May. The millage failed in May with almost 57% of voters rejecting the proposal. Sheriff Tom Reich tells 6 News this has caused a lack of road patrol, more staff resignations—and only one officer working for animal control. Eaton County, Delta Township reach tentative deal on police services That single officer is mostly responsible for maintaining the building, caring for animals, and completing paperwork. With the shelter at full capacity and Animal Control without officers to send out, Sheriff Reich says the community will need to rely on local police departments for their needs. The sheriff also says he's sad to see so many great deputies moving to other departments due to a lack of stability and support. Eaton County officials discuss major budget cuts While officials understand that community members may not want a tax increase, they say they'll pay the price in other ways. 'Public safety is what they're gonna give up,' said Sheriff Reich. 'Sure, Michigan State Police is going to be out there taking calls. However, you've got to keep in mind there's only so many troopers out there at Post 11, and they have three different counties to worry about.' Plans for another attempt at the Public Safety Millage are up in the air at the moment, but Sheriff Reich says there's a possibility of trying again in 2026. 'Taxes, no one likes taxes. I don't like taxes either. I think public safety would be worth it,' said Sheriff Reich. 'This is the first time Eaton County has ever had this kind of a problem of having no road patrol, and it's a first for me.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Mason man renovates memorial for murdered 7-year-old boy
WILLIAMSTON, Mich. (WLNS) — Almost 20 years after the tragic murder of 7-year-old Ricky Holland, a Mason man has now renovated the young boy's memorial with the hope of keeping his memory alive. Ricky Holland's memorial sits on the side of the road, near the intersection of Williamston Rd. and Ewers Rd, now with a fresh new coat of paint and flowers. Holland went missing back in July of 2005. After months of searching, his body was finally found in the Dansville State Game Area. His adoptive parents, Lisa and Tom Holland, were arrested for the murder and sentenced to prison. Michigan native, Kyle Ammerman, says while driving home, he spotted the old cross, and wanted to help. 'It's an honor for me to do it. I was an EMS. You see a lot of tragedies in the area. I'm doing this out of love for the families and for the people who have passed away,' said Kyle Ammerman. He says the memorial was severely damaged. 'It was just a plain white cross. It had a lot of damage to it. The cross piece was all rotted,' said Ammerman. 'So, I decided to put a new cross piece in, paint it up.' Ammerman says he was in Mason when he first heard about the case. 'I was watching the news. Followed it on a daily basis,' said Ammerman. 'A lot of volunteers searched for this little boy. Parents, anybody that was available.' He says he even remembered the day Holland's body was found. 'That dreadful day. That will never go away,' said Ammerman. So, he does all he can to make sure no one forgets about seven-year-old Ricky Holland. 'It's sad that there are people out there that would do this to an innocent child, and finally be found guilty of what they did,' said Holland. 'But it still doesn't erase the memory of Ricky the seven years that he lived.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
