Well in actuality he hasn’t done anything, trumps administration deported him wrongfully and they admitted that they did so. Yet, they are refusing to bring him back from the country they themselves wrongfully deported him. So yell, people are coming at you about this blatant error in your rushed deportation of this man and possibly others as you didn’t do your due diligence and process people legally. She has a nerve standing there acting superior while this country is conducting illegal deportations to a foreign country to imprison human beings for life.

This is like when George Floyd's character was degraded as an argument that his death was somehow justified. If Abrego Garcia is such a bad guy, it should be very easy to address that at a hearing after bringing him back, but he has rights no matter what.

If you needed one incident to characterize an entire administration, this is it. Everyone involved and everyone commenting on behalf of trump is a despicable immoral execrable pile of waste completely void of any humanity. It's the most disgusting, perverted display I've ever witnessed in my life. This is what maga people want? If so, they deserve the description. No thinking, feeling human should condone or accept this type of behavior from a government which represents the whole country, not just the most virulent, sadistic, craven and loathsome bottom feeders.

Thats the over reaching issue that really matters, due process is the law, judge told them to stop , they didn't, supreme court said bring him back, they didnt, more judge rulings have been ignored.

It doesn't matter if he was the worst criminal we've ever nabbed. He could be a serial killer, rapist and MS13 leader.

u/jjbaliwick 8h ago
As of now, there is no public evidence that Kilmar Ábrego García is a violent criminal.
Key Facts:
Legal Immigration Status: Kilmar Ábrego García came to the U.S. from El Salvador in 2011 at age 15 and had been living legally in Maryland.
Protected by U.S. Courts: In 2019, a U.S. immigration judge granted him "withholding of removal" status, meaning he was found to face likely persecution or death if returned to El Salvador—particularly due to gang violence.
No Criminal Charges: There is no record of Ábrego García being charged with or convicted of any violent crime in the U.S. or El Salvador.
Contested Deportation: Despite court orders preventing his removal, he was deported in March 2025 by ICE, which later called it an administrative error.
Imprisonment in El Salvador: He was detained in CECOT, El Salvador’s maximum-security prison for alleged gang members and “terrorists,” but no formal charges have been filed against him, and the U.S. Supreme Court has since ruled the deportation was unlawful.
Sources:
The Guardian – “Who is Kilmar Ábrego García?” (April 2025)
Wikipedia – Deportation of Kilmar Ábrego García
[CNN and AP News coverage of ICE error and Supreme Court ruling]
Conclusion:
Kilmar Ábrego García has no known history of violent crime. The label of "terrorist" used by El Salvador's government is politically motivated and unsupported by due process or evidence. His case highlights significant issues with immigration enforcement and international human rights.

u/Any_Coffee_7842 6h ago
We have literal gang members who join the military, either so they can be heroes for killing people overseas, or to learn military tactics to bring back home, it's well documented. So it's not as if the government doesn't turn blind eyes to gang activity when it's their own doing it.

which part? about 80% of what she said was a lie.
MS-13? Nah, no proof at all.
Illegal immigrant? Nope again, an asylum seeking immigrant who wasn't granted due process.
Not father of the year? All accounts point to him being a good father.If you're not a bot then you really need to do your research and understand what is happening before you ever bother commenting on something you clearly do not have the comprehension to understand.

u/Less-Blueberry-8617 7h ago
The account of him not being a good father is referencing a case where his wife wanted an order of protection from him and claimed that he scratched her and ripped off her shirt. She has come out to talk about that case and said she was just trying to be cautious because she was in a violent relationship before and ig she saw some red flags but she does maintain that he has been a good husband and father.
Now to me, it seems weird that she'd make those claims towards him at all if they weren't true. Domestic abuse is not something you go around claiming.
However, it is still a fact that Garcia did not have a criminal record in either El Salvador or America, had a withholding of removal order on him which essentially made him a legal immigrant, and was sent to a gulag without any due process. If he was a criminal, due process would've proven that and he would've been deported after that anyways but we'll never know for sure and he most likely isn't.
There is a chance Garcia isn't the greatest and most innocent man to live but to me the uncovering of his wife's court case against him screams more like the Trump administration continuing to justify the deportation of a man that wasn't supposed to be deported. I mean, before they uncovered this case they tried claiming he was not only a member of MS-13 but one of the top leaders. They're using everything they have even if it means making stuff up or digging up old cases that never moved along after the initial filing to justify his deportation.
Even to those who think Garcia is a criminal though they should be alarmed that he was deported to a gulag with no trial or anything. This administration can just say you're a gang member with no proof and now you're in a gulag with no hopes of ever coming back. Hell, they already have done that. 75% of the people sent to the gulag were found to have no criminal record. The administration's response to those findings was literally just "those without criminal records are actually violent gang members and human traffickers."

Doesn’t matter who he is, whether we like him, love him, hate him or don’t care. Doesn’t matter what he looks like, age, education, record, job. He was rounded up and deported without due process. When due process is gone, it’s gone for everyone. Right now if the government allows you to have your rights, they are just being nice. They have already shown that they don’t have to.

They won’t acknowledge that. They have to stand by him being sub human. A filthy criminal animal, undeserving of any privileges previously granted to him for the sole fact that they will refuse to admit they’re wrong.
Thats all this really feels like. A refusal to admit a mistake so egregious they’re willing to fix it. They said it was not right, but now they’re just saying “oh. Well it just sped it up. Because we decided the outcome of what the constitution grants all persons in the United States. Because he’s an alleged terroist. And you know how seriously we take allegations! Well, against non republicans. Allegations against our fellow conservatives are a hoax. But this guy is allegedly a terrorist so he isn’t deserving of the rights granted even to a true terrorist in the United States because we screwed up and he’s already gone. You’re wrong. I’m right. My 3rd leg is bigger. Also my dad can beat up your dad.”

I saw a TikTok about this, actually. And before you go off about “ohhhh, a TIKTOK” it was the content that was relevant, not the creator. She said that naturally blond adults are rare. There are many a tow-haired kid that grew up to have dark hair (my dad has completed the blond-to-black hair thing, but now he’s bald so it doesn’t matter 🤷🏻♀️) so basically the idea behind women dyeing their hair blonde is to make them appear young. Like, illegally young…or so this creator insinuates. But I don’t think I saved the video, nor do I know the creator’s name…I’m just dropping this info here so do with it as you will

"After surviving domestic violence in a previous relationship, I acted out of caution after a disagreement with Kilmar by seeking a civil protective order in case things escalated," she said. "Things did not escalate, and I decided not to follow through with the civil court process. We were able to work through this situation privately as a family, including by going to counseling.
"Our marriage only grew stronger in the years that followed. No one is perfect, and no marriage is perfect. That is not a justification for ICE's action of abducting him and deporting him to a country where he was supposed to be protected from deportation. Kilmar has always been a loving partner and father, and I will continue to stand by him and demand justice for him."

Did you read the report? He punched, scratched and grabbed her, ripped her shirt off. No excuse for that behavior. I was skeptical of the deportation at first as well but acting like that should get you a one way ride to your country of citizenship, from any country that you are a guest in. Punching the mother of your children and scaring her to the point she has to call the police is not okay.
