The ongoing legal battle between President Trump and migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia has highlighted significant issues concerning legality and immigration policy. Courts, including the Supreme Court, have affirmed that Trump's administration unlawfully deported Garcia, yet Trump attempts to spin this as a larger issue of illegal immigration. His strategy positions the administration against perceived threats, disregarding legal processes that could have mitigated the situation. Moreover, Trump asserts that the narrative shift is politically advantageous, suggesting a majority support his aggressive stance despite the questionable legality of his actions.
In the unlikely yet profound showdown between the president and the migrant that captured international attention, courts determined that Trump's administration violated the law.
Mr. Trump and his team are trying to rewrite the narrative so that it is a dispute about illegal immigration rather than the rule of law.
The president's goal in recent days has been to present Mr. Abrego Garcia as such a dangerous man that it does not matter if the deportation was illegal.
As his adviser Stephen Miller puts it, referring to theoretical percentages, Mr. Trump's stance on immigration is viewed as an 80-20 issue among voters.
