Wrongly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia returning to U.S. to face criminal charges

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being returned to the US to face criminal charges after a newly unsealed indictment was released. Abrego Garcia has been charged with smuggling undocumented immigrants in the US, with the indictment alleging he made over 100 trips transporting immigrants between states. The indictment also alleges that Abrego Garcia abused undocumented immigrant women and solicited nude photographs and videos from a minor. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that Abrego Garcia is a danger to the community and if convicted, he will be prosecuted and sentenced before being returned to El Salvador. Abrego Garcia's case has been a flashpoint in President Trump's immigration agenda, with his deportation to El Salvador being a point of contention. Senator Chris Van Hollen has stated that the case is about Abrego Garcia's constitutional rights, and the administration will have to make its case in court. Abrego Garcia was initially detained by ICE and deported to El Salvador by mistake, but the Supreme Court ruled that the administration must facilitate his release. The Trump administration has since asked the Salvadorian government to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return, but El Salvador declined to do so. A federal judge has granted a motion to sanction the Trump administration if it doesn't provide discovery evidence by June 11, and has also granted a request to unseal documents and a court hearing transcript. The case is ongoing, with Abrego Garcia's return to the US marking a new development in the proceedings, and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has called Abrego Garcia a known MS13 gang member, human trafficker, and serial domestic abuser.
