Abrego Garcia allegedly ran a sophisticated smuggling operation for nearly a decade, transporting thousands, including MS-13 gang members for profit. The administration identified him as a dangerous criminal despite Democratic attempts to portray him as a victim.

The government's handling of this case clearly violated Abrego Garcia's due process rights. Abrego Garcia was wrongfully deported despite court orders protecting him, and the administration spent months refusing to comply with Supreme Court directives while smearing his reputation. This abuse of power shows how deportation policies can trample individual rights.
