NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whose mistaken deportation helped galvanize opposition to President Donald Trump's immigration policies, has hearings on Tuesday and Wednesday in the human smuggling case against him in Tennessee.

U.S. District Judge Waverly Crenshaw will hear evidence on motions from the defense asking him to dismiss the charges and throw out some of the evidence.

Here's what to know about the latest developments in the case:

Who is Kilmar Abrego Garcia?

Abrego Garcia is a Salvadoran citizen with an American wife and child who has lived in Maryland for years. He immigrated to the U.S. illegally as a teenager to join his brother, who had become a U.S. citizen. In 2019, an immigration judge granted him protection from being deported back to his home country, where he faces danger from a gang that targeted his family.

While he was allowed to live and work in the U.S. under Immigration and Customs Enforcement supervision, he was not given residency status. Earlier this year, he was mistakenly deported and held in a notoriously brutal Salvadoran prison despite having no criminal record.

Facing mounting public pressure and a court order, Trump's Republican administration brought him back to the U.S. in June, but only after issuing an arrest warrant on human smuggling charges in Tennessee. He has pleaded not guilty to those charges and asked Crenshaw to dismiss them.

What are the charges?

Abrego Garcia is charged with human smuggling and conspiracy to commit human smuggling, with prosecutors claiming he accepted money to transport within the United States people who were in the country illegally.

The charges stem from a 2022 traffic stop in Tennessee for speeding. Body camera footage from a Tennessee Highway Patrol officer shows a calm exchange with Abrego Garcia. There were nine passengers in the car, and the officers discussed among themselves their suspicions of smuggling. However, Abrego Garcia was eventually allowed to continue driving with only a warning.

A Department of Homeland Security agent testified at an earlier hearing that he did not begin investigating the traffic stop until after the U.S. Supreme Court said in April that the Trump administration must work to bring back Abrego Garcia.

What is the motion to dismiss about?

Abrego Garcia has asked Crenshaw to dismiss the smuggling charges on the grounds of "selective or vindictive prosecution."

In a recent ruling, Crenshaw found "some evidence that the prosecution against him may be vindictive" and said many statements by Trump administration officials "raise cause for concern." Crenshaw specifically cited a statement by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, on a Fox News Channel program, that seemed to suggest the Justice Department charged Abrego Garcia because he won his wrongful-deportation case.

The two sides have been sparring over whether senior Justice Department officials, including Blanche, can be required to testify in the case.

Acting U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee Rob McGuire has argued in court filings that it doesn't matter what members of the Trump administration have said about Abrego Garcia.

"The relevant prosecutorial decision-maker, the Acting U.S. Attorney, has explained on the record that this prosecution was not brought for vindictive or discriminatory reasons," McGuire writes in a court filing. He adds that any public statements by senior Trump administration officials about Abrego Garcia reflect public safety concerns that are "plainly consistent with a legitimate motivation to prosecute him."

What is the main motion to suppress evidence about?

Another motion from Abrego Garcia asks the judge to suppress evidence in the case. It claims the 2022 traffic stop that ultimately led to the smuggling charges was illegal, so evidence from that stop should not be used at trial.

In support, court filings say the state trooper who pulled him over stated that the speed limit was 65 mph (105 kph) when it was actually 70 mph (113 kph). The trooper accused him of driving at 75 mph (120 kph), but there is no record that the trooper used a radar gun or pacing to gauge the speed. Abrego Garcia said he was driving at 70 mph, correctly noting the speed limit.

Attorneys for the government argue that the trooper made an honest mistake. The speed limit decreases to 65 mph about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) farther down the interstate. The attorneys also note that Abrego Garcia was driving in the left lane "consistent with an individual traveling in excess of the posted speed limit." And the trooper, they said, had "no reason or motivation to manufacture a traffic violation against him."

Is he being deported?

Abrego Garcia currently can't be deported to El Salvador thanks to the 2019 settlement that found he had a "well founded fear" of danger there. However, the Trump administration has said he cannot stay in the U.S. Over the past couple of months government officials have said they would deport him to Uganda, Eswatini, Ghana and, most recently, Liberia.

The administration's deportation agreements with so-called third countries have been contested in court by advocacy groups, which have noted that some immigrants are being sent to countries with long histories of human rights violations. But in June, a divided Supreme Court allowed the swift removal of immigrants to countries other than their homelands and with minimal notice.

Abrego Garcia sued the Trump administration in a Maryland court over his earlier deportation, and the judge in that case has temporarily barred his removal. If the judge decides to lift that order, government attorneys have said they are ready to deport him right away.

Meanwhile, Abrego Garcia has applied for asylum in the U.S. in immigration court.

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said on Sunday, Nov. 2 it is sending a team to investigate an Oct. 29 close call between a Southwest Airlines jet and a medical helicopter near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport in Ohio.

The NTSB said the two aircraft experienced a loss of separation – meaning they came closer to each other than the required minimum safe distance – when Southwest Flight 1333 was making its final approach on a flight from Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI).

This prompted the Southwest pilot to abort the landing. Southwest said the Boeing 737 landed safely a short time later.

The NTSB and Southwest did not disclose the number of passengers and crew aboard the airliner. The helicopter appears to have been transporting a patient at the time of the incident, based on how it was identifying itself at the time.

A Southwest Airlines plane shown at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The National Transportation Safety Board said on Nov. 2 it was investigating a close call between a Southwest jet and a helicopter near Cleveland, Ohio on Oct. 29.

Southwest said in a statement on Sunday, Nov. 2 it "appreciates the professionalism of our crew in responding to the situation. We are engaged with the National Transportation Safety Board and will support the investigation."

A representative for the medical transport company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A mid-air collision between an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army helicopter on Jan. 29 killed 67 people near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport outside the U.S. capital and caused alarm about close calls between commercial airplanes and helicopters.

Southwest plane had to deviate from course

Aviation tracking website Flightradar24 said air traffic control audio and flight tracking showed that the Southwest plane was forced to deviate from its course to avoid the Eurocopter helicopter that was passing in front of it in the Cleveland incident. Both aircraft were at 2,075 feet (632 meters) altitude at one point and were as close as 0.56 miles (0.9 km) of separation, the site said.

An air traffic controller asked the medical helicopter to go behind the other flight traffic in the vicinity of the airport but the helicopter pilot responded that it "would be better if we could go above it and in front of it if we can," and the controller agreed, according to audio posted by Flightradar24.

The Southwest captain said in a report to the Federal Aviation Administration that it was an "extremely close" incident and required immediate action to avoid a collision, according to two people briefed on the matter. The FAA last month said it was modifying helicopter routes in the vicinity of BWI and Washington Dulles International Airport to add buffer zones after the January crash as well as at Reagan.

Government shutdown: Will air traffic controllers end another government shutdown? They hope not.

The FAA has faced criticism from U.S. lawmakers and NTSB investigators for failing to act on reports of near-miss incidents before the Jan. 29 collision. The Army Black Hawk helicopter was above the maximum permitted altitude at the time of the crash. Both the helicopter and airliner crashed into the Potomac River.

In May, the FAA barred the Army from flying helicopters near the Pentagon after a May 1 close call that forced two civilian planes to abort landings.

The NTSB disclosed in March that since 2021 there had been 15,200 loss of air separation incidents near Reagan between commercial airplanes and helicopters, including 85 close-call events.

DETROIT — A former Marine who opened fire at a Michigan church and set the building ablaze in late September was motivated by anti-religious beliefs, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said.

While the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network, previously reported that the suspect in the deadly attack had expressed disdain toward The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the FBI initially did not share details on a possible motive in what they called an "act of targeted violence."

About a month after the attack, the FBI revealed the suspected motive in a brief update on Oct. 31. The agency did not provide further information on how investigators determined the motive but Jennifer Runyan, special agent in charge at the FBI Detroit field office, said it was "based upon countless hours of investigative efforts."

"Based upon the facts, circumstances, and information obtained in this case, I am confirming that this is a targeted act of violence believed to be motivated by the assailant's anti-religious beliefs against the Mormon religious community," Runyan said in a video statement.

The gunman, identified as 40-year-old Thomas Jacob Sanford, had opened fire on hundreds of worshippers inside the church in Grand Blanc Township on Sept. 28. At some point, Sanford set the church on fire before he was fatally shot by responding officers.

Four people were killed in the attack, and Runyan said in the update that nine people were injured. Authorities had previously said eight people were wounded.

Runyan noted that the investigation remains ongoing and the FBI is pursuing all credible leads related to this case. Since the attack, Runyan said the FBI has provided more than 100 personnel to investigate the incident, including special agents and intelligence analysts.

"I would like the entire Grand Blanc community to know that we stand with you. We remember those who are no longer with us and continue to hold in our thoughts those who are still recovering," Runyan said. "This tragedy not only affected the Grand Blanc community but also left a lasting impact on our nation."

Federal authorities previously declined to share information on case

The update on Oct. 31 was one of the first updates from federal law enforcement in weeks. The Free Press asked for details from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives but representatives said they could not provide more information, citing the federal government shutdown.

"During the furlough, (U.S. Department of Justice) operations are directed toward national security, violations of federal law, and essential public safety functions. With that being said, the ATF investigation of the attack at an LDS church in Grand Blanc Township has not been affected during the furlough," Tracy Morris, a Detroit-based ATF spokesperson, said in an email to the Free Press on Oct. 20.

"Unfortunately, the rest of your questions will have to be answered once the furlough is over and I am back in the office."

A section of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township is seen on Oct. 6, 2025, through fabric along the fencing surrounding the charred remains at the scene where the church was burned down.What happened in the Grand Blanc church shooting?

The attack unfolded shortly before 10:30 a.m. local time on Sept. 28, while hundreds of people were attending morning services.

Authorities said Sanford had rammed a pickup truck bearing two American flags into the chapel and used an assault rifle to open fire. He also used gasoline to set the building on fire, which reduced much of the church to rubble.

Two law enforcement officers, who responded to the scene within 30 seconds of the first 911 call, shot and killed Sanford in the church parking lot within minutes of the shooting, Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye previously said.

Two churchgoers died of gunshot wounds. The bodies of two other worshippers were discovered in the rubble of the chapel hours later.

Grand Blanc Township, a suburb of Flint, Michigan, is about 60 miles northwest of Detroit. As of the 2020 census, the city had a population of about 7,700 people.

Who was Thomas Jacob Sanford?

Sanford lived in Burton, Michigan, just miles from the church where the attack occurred. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 2004 to 2008, including a stint in the Middle East, and was awarded several medals and commendations.

About a week before the shooting, Sanford went on a tirade against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and called Mormons "the Antichrist," according to Kris Johns, a candidate for the local Burton City Council.

Johns was canvassing when he knocked on Sanford's door, and the two men discussed religion, Sanford's time in the military, their children, and battles with addiction.

"It was very much standard anti-LDS talking points that you would find on YouTube, TikTok, Facebook," said Johns, adding that Sanford was "not a forgettable guy."

Playing a high-powered CEO who may also be an undercover alien is tough work.

Just ask Emma Stone, who plays such a character in director Yorgos Lanthimos' *Bugonia*. In the absurdist black comedy, Stone stars as Michelle Fuller, the powerful CEO of pharmaceutical company Auxolith, who is kidnapped by Teddy (Jesse Plemons), a conspiracy theorist convinced that Michelle is really an Andromedan — an extraterrestrial sent to Earth to destroy it.

After ambushing Fuller at her mansion, Teddy and his accomplice/cousin Don (Aidan Delbis) knock her unconscious with a tranquilizer and load her into the backseat of her own car. But before they can drive her back to their home and chain her up in the basement, they have to shave off her hair, which they believe is really a communication device she can use to contact her mothership. So, Don handles the electric clippers in the backseat while Teddy speeds away from the crime scene.

Asked what was going through her mind as her costar removed her signature red locks, Stone tells **, "Stay still. That was it. I was meditating on stay still, just stay still."

Since the scene had to be filmed in one take, the star says she was "so afraid" that she'd accidentally ruin the moment by opening her eyes or flinching. "Because I am not awake there, I was like, play dead, basically, play dead," she says.

If anything went wrong with the take, Stone says there was no backup plan. "It was one take and there were four cameras set up just to make sure," she says. Luckily, they got the moment in one shot, and Lanthimos credits his star with being on board with the major makeover from the beginning.

"Not difficult at all, really," he says when asked if it was hard convincing Stone to shave her head. "I mean, it was in the script, so I didn't even have to tell her. She read it first, and she had the slightest hesitation just before, not hesitation to do it, but she had kind of a knot in her stomach. But it happened. Thankfully, we did it. We only had one shot to achieve it. And then she felt great. She saw herself and she really loved it, and she felt very free."

Emma Stone reveals which celebrity she thinks is secretly an alien: 'Obviously!'

In fact, Lanthimos thought his star looked so "amazing" with the new 'do, he even tried to convince her to keep it. "But she wouldn't have it," he says. "She had enough of [dealing with] months of having to also hide her head while we were filming."

Still, a shaved head wasn't the only obstacle Stone had to deal with thanks to Teddy's bizarre beliefs. After removing Fuller's "communication device," her kidnapper next endeavors to dull her alien powers by... regularly applying thick layers of lotion over her body.

"It was a combination of [creams] and there were many tests of all different ones because it goes through all different layers," Stone explains of the process. "And turns out human skin hovers around 98.6 degrees, and that's a melting point for a lot of creams. So making that stuff last all day — tricky. The pores take it in, it thins out. So it was a combination of things, depending on the day, different foundations, moisturizers. It was a fun test, though."

Stone credits hair and make-up designer Torsten Witte with doing "God's work" in nailing the concoction, which she had to slather on every day for "months." "Until it transitioned to blood," she teases. "Yeah. It was either cream or blood."

Physical discomforts aside, Stone says she was immediately fascinated by her character. "It feels truly like [Teddy and Michelle] are two heroes unto themselves that are both here to save the world in completely different ways and from completely different backgrounds clearly, and from totally different viewpoints that have this tension against each other, but could really teach each other a couple of things potentially if they were able to hear each other or if it was a circumstance that wasn't so kidnap-y," she says.

"I found her so fascinating because she's sort of glaze-y, everything's lovely and everything's fine, but it's all just an empty word salad-y exercise," she continues. "It is always interesting to me to hear people who are the heads of these companies that are like, We need to say this specific set of things. And her using those tactics to then negotiate with Teddy in this really intense situation in a basement – I found it really, really funny and sad, and it was just true in so many ways."**

For a time, Jeremy Allen White became Bruce Springsteen. But that doesn't mean they share every opinion.

The actor* *recently reflected on stepping into the shoes of the legendary rocker to lead *Springsteen:* *Deliver Me From Nowhere*, his first big film since breaking out on the culinary drama *The Bear.* White told IMDb that, for the most part, he got along with Springsteen swimmingly. But diving into the details of the album at the film's center — the introspective 1982 classic *Nebraska* — revealed a critical divergence point between the two.

"I had dinner at home with him and his wife, [Patti Scialfa], before we started filming. We got to talk about his music, and more specifically, we spoke a lot about 'Reason to Believe.' What I take away from that song, and what he thinks people misunderstand about that song," White explained. "I believed that there was hope in that song, and he said, 'That's not the case.'"

White recalled pleading his case, proposing to Springsteen, "'Don't you feel that when you're writing a song, you're kind of giving it up?' And he said, 'I guess you're right. If you want to feel that way, you can feel that way. But that's not how that was intended.'"

***Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our EW Dispatch newsletter.***

"Reason to Believe" closes out *Nebraska*, a deeply personal, introspective album that Springsteen recorded by himself while living in isolated Colts Neck, N.J. The song channels one of Springsteen's primary cited inspirations for the album, the short stories of Flannery O'Connor, in its own braiding together of four short vignettes on the theme of endurance in the face of adversity.

A woman waiting for a man who will never come, a groom waiting for a bride who won't marry him, a dead dog moldering on the side of a highway beneath a man's contemplative gaze — "Reason to Believe" is often interpreted as speculating how each character in the vignettes, well, finds a reason to keep believing. But according to the song's very own author, the weary search for reasons is more the point than the restoration of belief.

*Deliver Me From Nowhere *was adapted from Warren Zanes' 2023 book of the same name, which chronicles the making of *Nebraska*.

In a September interview with **, writer-director Scott Cooper shed some light on why, at that particular time in his life, Springsteen may have been more attracted to the dark than the light. "It wasn't about Bruce Springsteen, the icon and stadium-filling rock star," he shared*.* "It was about Bruce alone in a rented house, trying to understand himself and his unresolved trauma through song... I saw a cinematic portrait of an artist who was willing to strip himself bare."

*Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere *is currently in theaters.****
