Veteran strategist Mo Elleithee cautioned the Democratic Party against overly concentrating on Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s individual case regarding his deportation. He urged the party to focus instead on larger civil liberties challenges posed by the Trump administration. Abrego Garcia, deported despite claims it was a mistake, is alleged to have ties with criminal activities, making his case complex. Elleithee emphasized the need to address the broader implications on rights rather than risking martyrdom of individuals tied to controversial allegations, signaling a strategic pivot for the party’s messaging.
"Let's not make him a martyr. Let's make this about the fact that Donald Trump and his administration are chipping away at our rights on a daily basis."
"I think everyone in the White House are giving each other high-fives... Both sides have kind of gone to their corners and are saying this is the fight we want to have."
