Kilmar Abrego Garcia back in US to face charges of helping traffic 'thousands' of migrants
Mistakenly deported Salvadoran native Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been brought back to the United States where he will face criminal charges for allegedly transporting undocumented migrants within the U.S.
More than two months after the Trump administration admitted it mistakenly deported Abrego Garcia from Maryland to his native El Salvador, a federal grand jury has indicted him for allegedly transporting undocumented migrants within the United States.
A two-count indictment, which was filed under seal in federal court in Tennessee last month and unsealed Friday, alleges Abrego Garcia, 29, participated in a yearslong conspiracy to haul undocumented migrants from Texas to the interior of the country.
The alleged conspiracy spanned nearly a decade and involved the domestic transport of thousands of noncitizens from Mexico and Central America, including some children, in exchange for thousands of dollars, according to the indictment.
Abrego-Garcia is alleged to have participated in more than 100 such trips, according to the indictment. Among those allegedly transported were members of the Salvadoran gang MS-13, sources familiar with the investigation said.
Abrego-Garcia is the only member of the alleged conspiracy charged in the indictment.
His return to the U.S. comes after the Trump administration repeatedly said that they were unable to bring him back despite his mistaken deportation.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, at a Friday afternoon press conference, thanked Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele for "agreeing to return Abrego Garcia to the United States."
"Our government presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him to our country," Bondi said.
Bondi said that if Abrego Garcia is convicted of the charges, upon the completion of his sentence he will be deported back to his home country of El Salvador.
"The grand jury found that over the past nine years, Abrego Garcia has played a significant role in an alien smuggling ring," Bondi said. "They found this was his full time job, not a contractor. He was a smuggler of humans and children and women. He made over 100 trips, the grand jury found, smuggling people throughout our country."

Kudos to the TRump DOJ for working with El Salvador and securing the return of the left's favorite "Maryland man". Senator Van Hollen who rushed to El Salvador to offer his support to a human, drug and gun smuggler after ignoring his constituents whose family members were murdered by illegal aliens will no doubt be rushing to have more margaritas with him.
Pam Bondi talked today about his upcoming sentencing. So much for a fair trial.
“So much for a fair trial.”
Lol, that is soooooo ironic.
gosh darn that pesky US Constitution and all that due process nonsense ... /s
Which is unusual, only top of the line trump supporters can speak.
Now we are going to go through the costly process of showing the entire country what the left refused to believe
He'll get due process, and then some. Certainly won't be going home to Maryland
This scumbag, who for no rational reason other than Trump hatred became a moral paragon to the left, was such a shitheel MS-13 stopped letting him transport females alone because he kept assaulting them. Too violent for MS-13. That's something.
Almost feel bad for the people who ignored piles of evidence of his criminality to fuel their TDS. They'll probably ignore this indictment, just like everything else that casts a blemish on their her.
Remember the ones defending the “maryland man”? Lol. If they had two brain cells they’d feel like complete fools.
Trump devotion syndrome?
He will end up in jail here now, He would be in jail there. This is a dumb move, cost taxpayer to bring him back, expensive court time was wasted and more will be wasted trying him and then US taxpayer will have to pay to keep him in jail and whem US is done with him he will be in jail in his home country of El Salvador..
He was out of our country and somebody else's problem and cost.
Total waste of taxpayer money by some Judge
So what did all this accomplish?
