Dems’ Favorite Suspected Human Smuggler Makes Wild New Demands

Fresh from his return to the U.S., suspected human smuggler Kilmar Abrego Garcia has new demands from the Trump administration.

Lawyers for Abrego Garcia, a deported Salvadoran national who has since been allowed to return to America following outcry from Democrats, are demanding he be released from jail, according to newly submitted court documents. The illegal migrant’s defense team also suggested that he may now qualify for asylum because of his incarceration in El Salvador’s notorious mega-prison.

“Mr. Abrego Garcia should be released,” his lawyers stated, claiming prosecutors are wrong to deem him as a flight risk. “Because the government is not entitled to seek detention in this case, Mr. Abrego Garcia respectfully asks the Court to deny the government’s motion for detention.”

“Indeed, Mr. Abrego Garcia was recently illegally deported to El Salvador and confined in a notoriously inhuman Salvadorian prison,” his lawyers said, speaking of the Terrorism Confinement Center, the mega-prison facility built to house El Salvador’s gang population. “Thus, it appears he may now have a new basis (under either asylum law and/or the Convention Against Torture) to seek additional protection against deportation to El Salvador.”

The Trump administration facilitated Abrego Garcia’s return to the U.S. Friday so he could face charges related to his alleged participation in an illicit migrant smuggling operation.

Between 2016 and 2025, he allegedly helped smuggle illegal migrants from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Ecuador and other countries into the U.S., according to an indictment
