Kilmar Abrego Garcia was recently returned to the U.S. from the El Salvador prison CECOT after a Supreme Court ruling. However, rather than being reunited with his family, he was sent to a jail in Tennessee facing human trafficking charges. Critics suggest that the government's prosecution may be a defensive move to mask its initial error in deporting him. The administration's refusal to accept responsibility, as highlighted by the firing of a Justice lawyer, adds complexity to the situation, indicating a troubling pattern in handling immigration cases.
"After government officials acknowledged that he was deported because of an 'administrative error'—along with a couple hundred other Venezuelan and El Salvadoran men— the administration fired the Justice Department lawyer who was uncomfortable with what had gone down."
"It seems entirely likely that they are making Garcia out to be a high-level criminal operative because that's more palatable to them than admitting that they screwed up with his initial deportation."
