They didn't even take the steps to reopen his case to try to introduce that evidence and get his withholding of removal status stripped from him. Right. That would be the due process. Instead, they just grabbed him. And within three days, he was out of the country and into this mega prison in El Salvador.

I think we're heading to a potentially dangerous place where the government is just going to say somebody is bad or is a gang member, even though they don't have any criminal record or any refutable evidence. And then they're making these decisions and sending them off to a dungeon-like prison where who knows when they'll be able to get out.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was arrested in Maryland on March 12th. Within 48 hours, he was relocated down to an ICE deportation staging area in South Texas. And, you know, two days later, his wife recognized him in the photos released by the Salvadoran president showing all of these detainees arriving in that mega prison complex after the Trump administration's three deportation flights.
