Alleged MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia would be 'immediately' deported again if returned to US, Kristi Noem says

Noem stressed that Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen, is not under U.S. control and that any decisions regarding him lie with El Salvador. She highlighted the extensive procedural efforts previously taken against gang members like Garcia, while also contending that Garcia's legal team argues he has no criminal history, contrary to government claims.
