After being wrongly deported to the his native country of El Salvador earlier this year, Kilmar Abrego Garcia returned to the United States where he will face human trafficking charges, Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed.
The U.S. sent Abrego Garcia, 29, back to the Central American country in March despite a court order that barred the move due to security concerns.
At a June 6 press conference, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi accused the Maryland man of making over 100 trips to smuggle illegal immigrants across the nation.
"Thousands of illegal aliens were smuggled," Bondi told reporters. "The defendant traded the innocence of minor children for profit. There are even more disturbing facts that the grand jury uncovered."
The U.S. government again attested that Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 criminal gang, an allegation his attorneys and family have heavily denied.
