The Trump administration defended the deportation of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man mistakenly sent to El Salvador, claiming that due process varies for individuals identified as gang members. The Justice Department acknowledged the deportation mistake but labeled Garcia a member of MS-13. During discussions on the legal rationale, DHS officials stated that while all cases involve due process, processes differ for those associated with terrorist organizations. Garcia’s case raises questions about immigration policy on gang affiliation and due process rights.
In every single case, there is due process. However, there are different processes for individuals deemed members of terrorist groups, which affects their treatment in the legal system.
The administration's stance is that although Kilmar Abrego Armando Garcia’s deportation was an error, he is still classified as a gang member deserving detention.
