Deported by Mistake, Now Facing Charges: The Story of Kilmar Ábrego García

Salvadoran Man, Wrongfully Deported, Returns to US Facing Human Trafficking Charges June 7, 2025 -- Kilmar Ábrego García, a Salvadoran national, has been returned to the United States after being mistakenly deported. The incident has sparked debate about the accuracy of the US deportation system. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Ábrego García's return, stating he now faces charges of human trafficking. However, the Department of Justice has not yet confirmed these charges, and no evidence was presented in court. Robert Osuna, a criminal defense lawyer, expressed concern about the lack of evidence and the potential for similar errors to occur. "The government didn't present any evidence or discuss these accusations," Osuna stated, questioning the fairness of the process. The case raises questions about due process and the potential for wrongful deportations. Ábrego García's return could set a precedent for other cases of mistaken deportations, leading to calls for greater scrutiny and reform of the immigration system. The situation highlights the emotional distress faced by those caught in the system and underscores the need for accuracy and fairness.
