Kilmar Abrego Garcia returns to face immigrant smuggling charges after wrongful deportation
Kilmar Abrego Garcia
was returned to the United States to face criminal charges involving an
alleged undocumented immigrant smuggling ring Friday, months after the
Maryland resident was wrongfully deported to a prison in his native El Salvador. ...
The indictment alleges that Abrego Garcia and others from 2016
through 2025 “conspired to bring undocumented aliens to the United
States from countries such as Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Ecuador,
and elsewhere, ultimately passing through Mexico before crossing into
Texas.”
The grand jury that issued the indictment found that he made more than 100 trips smuggling thousands of immigrants. ...
In a post on X on Friday, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele wrote,
“As I said in the Oval Office:1. I would never smuggle a terrorist into
the United States. 2. I would never release a gang member onto the
streets of El Salvador.”
“That said, we work with the Trump
administration, and if they request the return of a gang member to face
charges, of course we wouldn’t refuse,” Bukele wrote. ...
