Rep. Jamie Raskin Compares Deportation of Illegal Immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Former President Trump

Representative Jamie Raskin made public remarks comparing the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an MS-13 gang member deported to El Salvador, to the hypothetical deportation of former President Donald Trump. Raskin argued that Trump, as a criminal convict and U.S. citizen, could not be deported to another country, whereas Garcia, who has no criminal record but was in the U.S. illegally, was deported to his home country of El Salvador. Critics highlighted that Garcia is an illegal immigrant and a foreign national, while Trump is an American citizen, emphasizing the legal distinctions between the two cases.
