No, he wasn't, but you'd believe the Trump people even if they said the sky was blue.
Lawyers for DHS admitted he was picked up in error.
You are an idiot.....
Abrego Garcia illegally crossed the border in 2011 and was “detained in March 2019 and charged with removability.” He was denied bond in 2019 after an immigration judge concluded that evidence “show[ed] [Abrego Garcia] is a verified member of MS-13” and that Abrego Garcia did not prove “that his release from custody would not pose a danger to others.”
The judge also found that Abrego Garcia was a flight risk, noting he had a “history of failing to appear for proceedings pertaining to his traffic violations.” As pointed outby Will Chamberlain, senior counsel at the Article 3 Project, the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissed Abrego Garcia’s appeal and “affirmed the immigration judge’s findings on dangerousness.”
Six months later, Abrego Garcia filed a new claim, this time for asylum, “withholding of removal to El Salvador,” and “protection under Article 3 of the Convention against Torture,” Chamberlain explained in a post. Notably, Abrego Garcia had every reason to want to stay in the United States: He had two brothers who were permanent residents, his fiancée was a citizen, and he was helping her raise her two children. Further, he and his fiancée also had a child together

Whether Abrego Garcia shouldn’t have been deported specifically to El Salvador doesn’t change the fact that he nonetheless should have been removed from this country years ago. In fact, the only real scandal here is that he was able to stay for as long as he did.
But the propaganda press is playing fast and loose with the truth to serve its own agenda. The New York Times likewise put out inaccurate and deliberately misleading coverage. The Times’ Ali Watkins and Alan Feuer wrote that Abrego Garcia “was in the U.S. legally” multiple times throughout the story. They also falsely stated he was living “under protected legal status since October 2019.”
Media Lie About Deported 'Maryland Father's' Legal Status
The propaganda press is once again distorting the truth -- and in some cases, flat out lying -- to undermine Trump's deportation efforts.
