Yeah he might not be innocent (or he may be) but he never remotely got due process; that was completely wrong.

A lot of Repubs are using his criminal case to dunk on the left, but as far as I know, the bodycam footage is just now being released, and either way, the whole point is that he needed to see a judge before being removed.
I have no problem with criminal immigrants being deported, they just need to stand before a judge first.

Due process is good.

Looks like the admin was able to bring him back after all. After months of pussyfooting around with excuse after excuse they finally did what was right and are brining him back. Nice

Hold on when did this trafficking thing come up? During the original deportation snafu all I ever heard about was their claim he was MS-13 and absolutely nothing about trafficking. Surely they would have brought that up if they had any evidence of it??

The indictment stems from Garcia’s 2022 traffic stop outside Nashville. Officers pulled him over as driver of a full van of people and were skeptical of his answers because they had no luggage. Garcia explained they were coworkers he was driving to Maryland from a job in Saint Louis. Officers took no action at the time.
ChatGPT says knowledge of their immigration status or a “should have known” arising from negligence is required for prosecution (8 U.S. Code § 1324 and Tennessee Code § 39-17-114). News reports state the indictment alleges he was trafficking for years.
I’ll let the jury sort this out. Do prosecutors have evidence they were illegal immigrants and that Garcia lied? Will be interesting to see.
For my own opinion, I’m glad due process is playing out. A trial on whether the allegation occurred or not is part of that due process.
