BREAKING NEWS: AG Pam Bondi announces Kilmar Abrego Garcia “has landed in the United States to face justice” on charges of alien smuggling and conspiracy to commit alien smuggling.

“Upon completion of his sentence, we anticipate he will be returned to his home country of El Salvador.”

Announcement: “On May 21st, a grand jury in the Middle District of Tennessee returned a sealed indictment charging Abrego Garcia with alien smuggling and conspiracy to commit alien smuggling in violation of Title 8 USC 1324. We want to thank President 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. We’re grateful to President Bukele for agreeing to return him to our country to face these very serious charges. This is what American justice looks like.”

“Upon completion of his sentence, we anticipate he will be returned 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. They found this was his full-time job, not a contractor. He was a smuggler of humans, and children, and women. He made over a hundred trips, the grand jury found, smuggling people, including MS-13 members and violent gang terrorist organization members throughout our country.”
