Tennessee police release Abrego Garcia traffic stop video

  • The Tennessee Highway Patrol stopped Kilmar Abrego Garcia for speeding on Interstate 40 near Cookeville in 2022 and released traffic stop video this year.
  • The stop arose from suspicions of human trafficking linked to Abrego Garcia’s reported hauling of passengers without luggage, though reports differ on evidence and no arrest occurred.
  • Troopers found no contraband, issued no ticket, and allowed Abrego Garcia to continue after questioning him about work and travel plans; federal officials said no arrest was needed.
  • Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran father of three deported to El Salvador in March 2025 despite a prior immigration judge order protecting him, is now imprisoned and awaiting a deportation hearing.
  • The Justice Department is investigating the traffic stop incident amid ongoing litigation and Supreme Court orders to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return to the U.S., while the administration resists compliance citing foreign policy.
