Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported to El Salvador, is on his way back to the U.S. to face criminal charges - human trafficking. He's been indicted

Hypocrisy is Trump saying he is getting rid of the swamp and him being the swamp himself

Pivot? I mean, if we're going to go down the list of political hypocrisy, we're going to be here awhile

I live in Maryland. People don’t drive such a distance to pick up construction workers….. maybe 40-50 miles between Maryland to Virginia.

Okay. And TN is one more state over. Maybe they were having a hard time finding people. Maybe someone knew a guy who knew a guy.

What we don know it no one at the time thought they were really "human trafficking" and let them go, and no one followed up for five years until Trump needed an excuse rather than man up, admit their mistake, and apologize for deporting a man in error.

 

[Dr.Destructo]

So, this illegal alien that Democrats fought so hard over is now indicted on human trafficking charges.

The man some of you cried over, a human trafficker.

Aren't you proud of yourselves?

It will be sentenced and shipped back to that super prison.
I aint worried about it.

Driving to Tennessee from the outer reaches of western Maryland is at least a 6 hour drive. It’s not normal nor efficient to drive 12-18 hours roundtrip to pick up construction workers.

Except it probably wasn't a round trip, they probably had lodging set up on site for the time they were going to be there.

 

[konradv]

Yes, because like most Marylanders, we frequently drive to Tennessee to give people rides to work.

Do people always work in the state they live? Hardly!

Pivot? You are the one pivoting, given that it was you that brought the Democrats into a conversation that did not include or mentioned them at all

It was round trip for Garcia

You need labor, you look locally first. Can’t find it? Recruit from out of state or out of country. Fine. In all of those situations, where is it that someone drives 6-9 hours back and forth to transport them? How common is that?

Because its relevant to this topic.

It is what it is until you can prove different in a court of law. IMO, it gets thrown out.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Due process would be releasing him, as he has a right to be here and he hasn't committed any crimes.

He's a flight risk, now that he's knows where he'll go when (not if) he gets deported agai..

Point of order, Trump didn't charge him with "Wife Beating". He charged him on a dubious claim that he was "human trafficking" because he gave some guys a ride to a work site.

He has to have a charge in order to get due process as the courts ordered. He already had all the due process possible for being illegal, so to humor the childish bullies in robes he will give him due process for another charge.

It's what you asked for!

The dumb ass does not even know you must go all the way thru WV or VA to enter Tennessee and from DC it’s a 7 hour drive to TN border

I think he went as far as Nashville. Let’s see what the court says but at this point, Garcia case might as well be a football game because people are rooting for different outcomes.

I think you are just making shit up now.

True enough.

The question is, why are you rooting for the outcome you want?

This whole thing started because Trump and his ICE jackboots made a mistake and deported the wrong guy. And instead of just admitting, "We made a mistake', you know, like an adult does, They tried to rationalize his mistake. "Oh, he's a gang member. Oh, he's a wife-beater! Oh, he's a human trafficker!"

And you are rooting for yet another illegal violent criminal to be set free. You got your wish. He’s back in the US.

Except there's no indication that he was illegal (he had a perfectly good right to be here through marriage), violent (sorry, never convicted of anything) or criminal (see above)

Trump fucked up, and can't admit he fucked up.

You are clearly rooting against Trump. That’s all this is about.

MAGA lies.

Or more likely, Trump will drag this out for as long as possible until the charges are dismissed by a court.

The whole case is looking like it is truly dubious.

The Criminal Case Against Kilmar Abrego Garcia Is Highly Suspect

On Friday, the Trump administration finally complied with multiple court orders to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the United States.

slate.com

First, it is unclear why the Trump administration waited so long to bring this indictment if the facts are as damning and undeniable as it claims. The White House has been desperately searching for ways to smear Abrego Garcia since it first deported him in March. It incessantly alleged that he was a known gang member without proffering any credible evidence; the White House’s alleged “proof” rested on the word of a disgraced former cop who later pleaded guilty to providing confidential information to a sex worker he had hired. The administration also accused Abrego Garcia of human trafficking because, in late 2022, he was pulled over while driving in a car with eight other Hispanic men. That episode now forms the basis of his indictment. But if that’s true, why did federal prosecutors wait two and a half years to charge him?

Second, and relatedly, the federal government took a very different view of the 2022 incident when it occurred. There was no overt evidence that Abrego Garcia was smuggling immigrants across the country, as prosecutors now claim. At the time, any inference of human trafficking rested entirely on circumstantial evidence and racial profiling. (A known construction worker, Abrego Garcia reported that he and his passengers were on their way to a construction site.) After pulling him over, Tennessee police reported Abrego Garcia and his passengers to federal law enforcement—but federal officers directed local police to let them continue along their way. The federal government did not see fit to even detain or investigate him then. Now it has brought felony charges against him. What changed—other than the president and his suddenly urgent desire to find a justification for his blatantly unlawful rendition program?

He should just deport him back home. No need to waste the time on the criminal docket
