Kilmar Ábrego García pleads not guilty to human smuggling charges

Kilmar Ábrego García, a man previously wrongfully deported from the U.S., has pleaded not guilty to human smuggling charges. Prosecutors are pushing to keep him detained until trial, but García is expected to fight that request. The case adds another layer to his already complicated legal saga, which began when he was mistakenly removed from the country.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another court case—it’s a high-stakes legal battle for a man who’s already been failed by the system once. García’s wrongful deportation raises serious questions about accountability in immigration enforcement, and now he’s facing new charges that could keep him locked up. The outcome could set a precedent for how similar cases are handled, especially when errors by authorities are involved. For anyone following immigration policy, this is a story worth watching.
