the U.S. Brought Back Kilmar Abrego Garcia

The Maryland man, whose erroneous deportation to El Salvador became a protracted battle over due process and a test of wills, will face human smuggling charges in Tennessee.
The grand jury found that Abrego Garcia made the trips as part of a ring that trafficked guns, drugs, children and women, Bondi said. She said co-conspirators alleged that he abused women he was transporting and played a role in the killing of a rival gang member’s mother.
"Thousands of illegal aliens were smuggled," she said. The indictment was a dramatic turnabout for Abrego Garcia's supporters, who have portrayed him as an innocent man turned political pawn amid Trump's mass deportation program.
Attorney General Pam Bondi will hold a press conference at 3:45 p.m. on Friday. She’s expected to discuss reports concerning El Salvador releasing Kilmar Abrego-Garcia to the United States in order for him to face federal charges.
