Not that it should be a surprise, but people are getting lost in the shuffle…

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Panamanian national, was mistakenly deported by U.S. immigration authorities despite a court order that should have prevented his removal. During a recent court hearing, Department of Justice officials were unable to confirm his current location, raising serious concerns about accountability and transparency within the immigration system. The case has sparked outrage among advocates and legal experts, who argue that such errors undermine trust in the judicial process and highlight systemic flaws in immigration enforcement.

The incident has prompted calls for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Garcia’s deportation and the apparent communication breakdown between agencies. Legal representatives are demanding immediate action to locate Garcia and ensure his safe return to the U.S. This case underscores the need for robust safeguards to prevent similar occurrences and to uphold the integrity of the immigration system.

    They don’t know. They intentionally aren’t tracking these people once they turn them over.

    Trump has crippled the federal government and made us too weak to do anything about our own citizens.

    There’s a high probability he’s dead, and they know it. If so, they’ll never get a body back.

      Even if he’s not dead, they’re deliberately not keeping records to make it impossible to be able to bring anyone back. It’s the one of the lessons they did learn from the Nazis. Did we ever reunite all the families Trump separated during his first term?

    Xinis issued a new order for the government to “take all available steps to facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s return and directed it to provide her with a sworn statement from an individual “with personal knowledge” of the steps the government has taken or is planning to take to secure his return. But attorneys with the Justice Department told the judge on Friday morning that they needed more time to provide the sworn declaration, blowing past two deadlines she gave the department to file it.

    This is the same reason Trump’s lawyers refused to give sworn declarations that Trump had turned over all of the classified documents he stole: whoever signs the declaration is going to (a) be in the hot seat for everything that goes wrong with this case, and (b) be the fall guy when it finally falls apart.
