…for the nearly 3 months before the #DOJ secured an indictment against #KilmarAbregoGarcia, it had repeatedly flouted a series of #CourtOrders — including one from #SCOTUS — to “facilitate” his release.

While the indictment filed against #KilmarAbregoGarcia contained serious allegations, accusing him of taking part in a conspiracy to smuggle undocumented immigrants as a member of the street gang MS-13, it had no bearing on the issues that have sat at the heart of the case since his summary expulsion in March.

Those were whether #KilmarAbregoGarcia had received #DueProcess when he was plucked off the streets without a warrant & expelled days later to a prison in #ElSalvador, in what even #Trump officials have repeatedly admitted was an error. And, moreover, whether administration officials should be held in #contempt for repeatedly stonewalling a #judge’s effort to get to the bottom of their actions.

@Nonilex Bondi claimed a grand jury indicted Garcia on smuggling aliens across the border repeatedly while living in MD.
Do we know the origin of this grand jury?
@CassandraVert they followed normal grand jury processes, with a judge watching over their shoulders no less, providing unusual levels of scrutiny to see that it was on the up and up.
