US EditionMSNBC’s Michael Steele Compares Trump Deportations to Putin Kidnapping Journalists
- During a Tuesday segment, MSNBC analyst Michael Steele likened the U.S. Government's removal of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador to the actions of oppressive regimes kidnapping Americans abroad.
- Two months ago, Garcia was wrongly deported to a maximum-security facility in El Salvador despite lacking any criminal convictions and denying gang involvement, leading to ongoing legal and political controversies.
- Steele criticized the U.S. Government for putting Garcia in harm’s way and refusing to act for his return, likening the deportation to Putin’s journalist kidnappings or extremist abductions.
- A federal court ordered the administration to facilitate Garcia’s release and return for proper proceedings, but officials and Trump allies dispute the deportation’s legality and necessity.
- The incident raised concerns over government conduct toward migrants and generated sharp reactions, including calls for Steele to apologize and accusations of misuse of immigration enforcement.
