Border Patrol Chief: Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Be Deported Once Eligible
Border Patrol plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia upon eligibility amid disputes over judicial decisions and enforcement of immigration laws involving MS-13 members.
- On Friday, Chief Border Patrol Agent Greg Bovino said adjudicated MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia will be removed as soon as he becomes deportable after a judge ordered his release from ICE custody.
- Previously, Garcia was deported to El Salvador and imprisoned in a high-security MS-13 prison; he was detained in 2022 by the Tennessee Highway Patrol and released at the Biden administration FBI's behest.
- A 13-page dossier released by the Trump administration in April showed immigration judges found Kilmar Abrego Garcia was an MS-13 member, while the current administration designated MS-13 a foreign terrorist organization.
- ICE intends to place Garcia and similar individuals `where they need to be`, returning them to their country of record, while Chief Border Patrol Agent Greg Bovino called the United States courts' decision judicial overreach that hinders law enforcement.
- Garcia's case has become a flashpoint in the national debate over immigration enforcement and judicial oversight, with advocates and Democratic lawmakers pushing for his return after deportation.
