The Trump administration wants to deport kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda.
Now he's the Mariland man who was mistakenly deported to
El Salvador earlier this year, then brought back here to
the US. On Friday, he was released from free trial detention.
CBS is Camillo Montoya Glviz with the very latest.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
He continues to face those federal criminal charges, but a
judge in Tennessee has now released came out of Lucia
and allowed him to continue that criminal process outside of
the tension until his criminal trial starts next year.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And a Brego Garcia has been offered a plea deal,
which he rejected. That deal would have seen him deported
to Costa Rica in exchange for pleading guilty to human smuggling.

the Karen Reid murder trial is now trying to get
his job back.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Former mass Date Police trooper Michael Proctor is making his
pitch to get his job back, appealing as firing this
week to the Civil Service Commission. The hearing is set
for Tuesday and Wednesday. Proctor led the investigation into Boston
police officer John O'Keeffe's death, but was fired for his
conduct after derogatory texts he sent about Karen Reid in
a group chat came to light during the first trial.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
She's a whack job. See you on the stand.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
He was asked to read them aloud.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
So these are your words, Trooper Proctor dies Cheronal'll go
ahead and say them.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yes, she's a babe with fall River accent.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Though Proctor was relieved of his duty immediately after Reid's
first trial ended in a mistrial, then he was suspended
without pay and later fired. Reid's defense team accused Proctor
of planting evidence during the investigation. Reid was ultimately acquitted
of second degree murder during trial number two, though she
was found guilty of an OUI and sentenced to a
year of probation. I'm afraid, I'm inn WBZ, Boston's news radio.
