DOJ Pushes to Reinstigate Abrego Garcia Charges

The DOJ is pushing to reinstate human smuggling charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, after a judge previously tossed them out — now appealing to the Sixth Circuit. The case began with a 2025 Tennessee traffic stop where officers suspected smuggling among nine passengers, despite letting him go with a warning. Tied to Trump-era deportation efforts, Garcia was wrongly deported to a dangerous prison despite a 2019 court order protecting him due to life-threatening conditions. Officials attempted to send him to African nations, despite judicial blocks — and Trump himself once accused him of MS-13 ties. The legal battle rages on as the Sixth Circuit weighs whether to restore these controversial charges. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
