**Summary:**Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man with protections against deportation to El Salvador, was mistakenly deported earlier this year. Now, he's fighting a criminal case and challenging his immigration detention in Tennessee. His lawyers argue he's being held as punishment, not for routine deportation. The Trump administration has suggested sending him to Liberia or Costa Rica, where he's willing to go. The case has been tainted by politics, with the administration calling him an MS-13 gang member without evidence. The upcoming Tennessee hearings will determine his fate as he battles on two legal fronts.
