Hey Meidas Mighty, it’s Ben Meiselas here. I like to keep things simple. There is a lot of disinformation about Abrego Garcia, so I prepared this simple list of undisputed facts in case people you know are sharing false information.
The undisputed facts on Kilmar Abrego Garcia:
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 he was “improperly” sent to El Salvador and to “facilitate his return.”
The Trump DOJ admits Abrego Garcia was sent in error to El Salvador.
Abrego Garcia was given a work permit in 2019 (Trump Admin 1), and he checked in annually with ICE.
The 2019 immigration ruling says he can’t be deported to El Salvador.
His paperwork says he had “no criminal history.”
There was a double-hearsay accusation by a disgraced cop in 2019 that he had an “MS-13 affiliation,” and on that basis he could be deported to a country other than El Salvador. Still, he got a work permit.
Whether Abrego Garcia is “good” or “bad,” he is entitled to some due process in the United States.
El Salvador has facilitated the return of other people back to the U.S. before.
The U.S. has frequently extradited non-citizens it has alleged to be the worst drug dealers and gang members in the world to have trials in the U.S. and serve life sentences in U.S. prisons.
If there is evidence of Abrego Garcia committing crimes, he should be held accountable once the evidence is presented.
That’s it.
It’s as simple as that.
As the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals said, this is not a close call.
I think it’s important to present the facts like this to cut through all the lies.

How much is the US paying to send people to El Salvador? That is a fact that needs to be shared CONSTANTLY.
Andrew Tate? No problem. Abrego Garcia? Biiig problem. Make it make sense.
