Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s Return to U.S. for Human Smuggling Charges
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man whose wrongful deportation to El Salvador sparked a legal battle over due process, was returned to the U.S. to face human smuggling charges in Tennessee, with an indictment alleging he transported undocumented immigrants, including MS-13 gang members, over nine years. Prosecutors claim he was involved in transporting approximately 50 undocumented aliens monthly and could face life imprisonment. His attorney argues that his prosecution is an abuse of power, emphasizing the government’s failure to uphold due process during his deportation.
