Return of Abrego Garcia a Major Blow to Trump

by Martin Burns

“In a surprise development, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the El Salvadoran man living in Maryland illegally deported [by] the United States was returned to the United States to face charges of transporting undocumented migrants. For months, the Trump Administration and the judicial system had been odds over returning Garcia to the United States. The Supreme Court had ruled that the Trump Administration had to ‘facilitate’ Garcia’s return but not ‘effectuate’ it. … Attorney General Pam Bondi said Garcia ‘is never coming back to our country.’ The standoff between the Trump Administration and the courts led to talks of a constitutional crisis.” [editor’s note: And so he is “returned” … to be indicted for trafficking in TN on Friday. Not sure how major the “blow” is – SAT]” (06/10/25)
