Trump Threatens Prosecution For Fact-Based Reporting On Kilmar Abrego Garcia Case
HuffPost
The president suggested the justice system should retaliate against those who deviate from his own misleading message.
President Donald Trump took his attacks about wrongly deported Maryland immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a new level on Easter Day, threatening to pursue legal action against those who do not follow his lead.
“Those lying to the American People on behalf of violent criminals have to be held responsible by the Agencies and the Courts,” Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social, the platform he owns.
Trump and others in his administration have repeatedly sought to portray Abrego Garcia as a violent gang member, refusing to concede that he may have been deported in error — even though the government has admitted in court that it was a mistake to put him on a plane.
Abrego Garcia was one of hundreds of mostly Venezuelan immigrants the Trump administration flew to a brutal prison camp in El Salvador in March. While the administration’s efforts to continue these deportations have been stalled by the courts, the Trump administration is fighting to resume the flights.
According to court records, Abrego Garcia was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement after looking for work outside a Home Depot in 2019. ICE alleged that he was a member of MS-13 because he was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat and hoodie — a team logo occasionally linked to the gang — and because a “confidential informant” had said he was part of the “Westerns” MS-13 clique.
