The Spin
Democratic narrative
The deportation represents a clear violation of constitutional due process rights, as Abrego Garcia had legal protection from deportation and was removed without proper hearing or evidence of wrongdoing — setting a dangerous precedent that threatens the fundamental rights of all U.S. residents.
Republican narrative
Abrego Garcia is a confirmed MS-13 gang member who poses a serious security threat, was in the country illegally, and belongs in El Salvador where he can no longer endanger American communities, making his deportation a necessary measure to protect public safety.
