White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed there was no mistake regarding the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran migrant who was deported due to an administrative error. Both the Justice Department and ICE recognized the error after Garcia had been granted protective status in the U.S. and was deported amid fears for his safety. Trump administration officials later admitted to the error in court filings, while Leavitt reiterated the administration's commitment to deporting individuals she said involved in violent gangs like MS-13. The issue has led to tensions with Democratic lawmakers seeking to address the matter.
We did not make a mistake. We have always maintained this was an individual who needed to be deported from our country." This statement by Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismisses the administrative error acknowledged by the Justice Department and ICE.
The president swore to the American public he was going to deport illegal criminals, and especially those who have been involved in violent gangs like MS-13 that have terrorized American communities." Leavitt emphasizes the administration's commitment to strict immigration enforcement.
The only mistake that was made is a lawyer put an incorrect line in a legal filing that since has been relieved of duty." Acknowledgment from Stephen Miller highlights the administration's perspective on the error.
Despite efforts by Democratic lawmakers and court orders to do so, Leavitt has warned repeatedly that Abrego Garcia will not be returning to the U.S." This underscores the conflict over immigration policy.
