DOJ Appeals Dismissed Abrego Garcia Smuggling Charges

Republican narrative

The DOJ's appeal is absolutely the right call — the district court's dismissal ignored overwhelming evidence that he ran a massive smuggling operation for nearly a decade. A cooperating witness placed him at the center of a ring responsible for hundreds of trips and the deaths of dozens of migrants. Letting a vindictive prosecution claim override a rock-solid criminal case is a dangerous precedent that puts public safety last.
