US politicians have been divided in their response to the return of Ábrego García. Democrats cast it as a victory for due process while Republicans commented on the smuggling charges announced by prosecutors against him.
Maryland’s US Senator Angela Alsobrooks, a Democrat, said Ábrego García “should not have been deported. Even the Supreme Court demanded this President follow the law and return him to the U.S. It is right that due process will be afforded to him.”
Fellow Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett of Missouri said of the return: “The GOP broke the law to deport this man—then decided to indict him … This is Trump’s America: lawless, reckless, and cruel.”
Republican Alabama Senator Katie Britt reposted a version of the charges against Ábrego García She added: This is who Democrats are fighting for. This is who Senate Republicans are fighting to protect American families from.”
Republican Representative Brandon Gill of Texas said this was part of a Democrat strategy.
“Liberals want illegal aliens to stay in our country and be given amnesty, so that they can then vote Democrat.”
Glenn Ivey, a Democrat from Maryland, rebuffed the accusations and said advocacy for Ábrego García’s return wasn’t about him personally. “I went to El Salvador and advocated for Kilmar’s return because he was entitled to due process under our constitution,” he said. “Kilmar will now get his day in court. I hope he receives the fair trial that he is guaranteed.”
