Trump admin defends arrest of migrant who was sent to El Salvador's hellhole megaprison by mistake: 'He should be locked up'
Briefly

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a migrant mistakenly deported to El Salvador, has become a focal point for immigration policy discussions amid allegations of criminal activity. Arrested by ICE, he faces accusations of being an MS-13 gang member involved in human trafficking, despite advocating for his status as a family man with a pending asylum claim. The Trump administration maintains that his criminal ties validate his detention and deportation, an assertion that has triggered criticism of immigration practices amidst broader debates about justice and human rights.
The Department of Homeland Security's spokeswoman, Tricia McLaughlin, emphasized that regardless of the circumstances around Abrego Garcia's deportation, he should be detained because of his alleged criminal ties.
Critics have pointed to the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia as emblematic of the harsher immigration policies under Trump, particularly the aggressive tactics employed by ICE agents.
