Kilmar Abrego Garcia, 30岁萨尔瓦多国民, 住在马里兰州, 要求田纳西州一名联邦法官撤销走私人口的指控, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a 30-year-old Salvadoran national living in Maryland, is asking a federal judge in Tennessee to dismiss human smuggling charges, alleging the prosecution is vindictive and politically motivated. 该案源自田纳西州2022年的交通站,他在那里被9名乘客拦下;警察只发出警告,但检察官后来对他提出起诉。 The case stems from a 2022 traffic stop in Tennessee where he was pulled over with nine passengers; officers issued only a warning, but prosecutors later charged him. Abrego Garcia从小就在美国生活,以前由于在萨尔瓦多的帮派威胁而受到保护,不被驱逐。 他声称,这些指控是在成功质疑将其遣送出境之后遭到报复的。 Abrego Garcia, who has lived in the U.S. since childhood and was previously protected from deportation due to gang threats in El Salvador, claims the charges are retaliation after successfully challenging his removal. 美国地区法院法官Waverly Crenshaw对检方的动机表示关切,指出有证据表明,起诉决定可能涉及司法部的多名官员,而不仅仅是主要检察官。 U.S. District Judge Waverly Crenshaw has expressed concern over the prosecution’s motives, citing evidence that the decision to charge may have involved multiple Justice Department officials, not just the lead prosecutor. 预定进行听讯,以确定案件是否应当继续审理。 A hearing is scheduled to determine if the case should proceed.
