'Kilmar Abrego Garcia on way back to US to face criminal charges: Sources'

(ABC) "Mistakenly deported Salvadoran native Kilmar Abrego Garcia is on his way back to the United States where he will face criminal charges for allegedly transporting undocumented migrants within the U.S., according to sources familiar with the matter."

"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, ABC News has learned."

"A two-count indictment, which was filed under seal in federal court in Tennessee last month, alleges Abrego Garcia, 29, participated in a years-long conspiracy to haul undocumented migrants from Texas to the interior of the country, according to sources briefed on the indictment."

"The alleged conspiracy spanned nearly a decade and involved the domestic transport of thousands of non-citizens, including some children, from Mexico and Central America, according to sources...Among those allegedly transported were members of the Salvadoran gang MS-13, sources familiar with the investigation said."

They had to make up a life time of "crime" and create all the evidence. Does anyone think this might be a shame trial?

This is generally very good news. And if there is no probable cause -which it looks like there isn't, a judge can order his immediate release.

I don’t think he did what they are accusing him of. And it’s fabricated to justify his illegal arrest and deportation, I hope a good lawyer represents him and shames the taco administration,
