Justice Department investigating 2022 Abrego Garcia traffic stop: Sources say federal inmate was questioned about possible connections.

Jose Ramon Hernandez-Reyes , 38 , was the registered owner of a vehicle driven by Kilmar Abregro Garcia in 2022 , sources say.

He was pulled over for speeding in a vehicle with eight passengers and told police they'd been working construction in Missouri .

The interview appears to be a new and aggressive step in the government's efforts to gather potentially incriminating information.

Abrego Garcia's expulsion to El Salvador violated a U.S. immigration judge's order in 2019 that shielded him from deportation.

The Supreme Court affirmed that ruling on April 10 .

Hernandez-Reyes , who was not present during the 2022 Tennessee traffic stop, was charged in 2020 in a 7 -count federal indictment for unlawful transportation of undocumented immigrants.
