US Edition'Abuse of Power': Attorney Speaks Out as Migrant Faces Smuggling Charges
- On May 21, a sealed court document in Tennessee was made public accusing Kilmar Abrego Garcia of conspiring to smuggle undocumented migrants into the US.
- Abrego was wrongly deported to El Salvador on March 16 due to an administrative error despite a 2019 court ruling protecting him from deportation.
- The indictment links Abrego and co-conspirators to MS-13 and alleges trafficking firearms and narcotics, while lawyers rejected the charges as unfounded and abuse of power.
- Abrego faces charges carrying up to 10 years in prison, and his return to the US after Supreme Court orders highlights tensions between the executive branch and judiciary.
- This case illustrates disputes over due process and migrant treatment under the Trump administration and has drawn attention from human rights groups and politicians.
