‘This proves they had the ability to bring him back and just REFUSED’: Furious attorney exposes government’s months-long ‘game’ as Kilmar Abrego Garcia finally returns – but only to stand trial

A BOMBSHELL revelation has exposed how the Trump administration “played games” with the courts for months, refusing to return a wrongly deported Maryland father from a notorious Salvadoran mega-prison – until they suddenly brought him back to face criminal charges.

In a dramatic twist that has left legal experts stunned, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, 29, was mysteriously flown back to the United States on Friday after nearly three months languishing in El Salvador’s hellish CECOT prison – but only to face what his lawyers are calling “fantastical” human smuggling charges.

The explosive development proves what critics have claimed all along: the government COULD have brought him back at any time but simply refused to do so, even defying Supreme Court orders in an unprecedented standoff that threatened a constitutional crisis.

‘Abuse of Power, Not Justice’

Abrego Garcia’s furious attorney Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg didn’t mince words in his scathing response to the government’s sudden about-face.

Now, after months of delay and secrecy, they’re bringing him back, not to correct their error but to prosecute him. This shows that they were playing games with the court all along,” Sandoval-Moshenberg told NPR.

“Due process means the chance to defend yourself before you’re punished, not after. This is an abuse of power, not justice.”

The lawyer’s damning verdict exposes the administration’s months-long refusal to comply with court orders as nothing more than political theater – a shocking revelation that raises serious questions about the rule of law in America.

The Smoking Gun

Today’s actions proves what we’ve known all along—that the Administration had the ability to bring him back and just refused to do so,” declared Andrew Rossman, another lawyer for Abrego Garcia.

The proof? Within DAYS of deciding to prosecute him, the administration miraculously secured his return from El Salvador – the very same action they had spent months claiming was impossible.

Even more damning: The decision to pursue the indictment against Abrego Garcia led to the abrupt departure of Ben Schrader, a high-ranking federal prosecutor in Tennessee, sources briefed on Schrader’s decision told ABC News.

Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons, the sources said.

From ‘Administrative Error’ to Criminal Mastermind

The administration’s story has changed dramatically since March, when they first admitted in court documents that Abrego Garcia was deported due to an “administrative error.

Now, they’re painting him as the kingpin of an international smuggling operation – despite the fact that he’s never been charged with nor convicted of a crime in either country.

Attorney General Pam Bondi made explosive claims at a Friday press conference, alleging Abrego Garcia “played a significant role in an alien smuggling ring” and even strayed beyond the indictment to claim he was involved in murder and soliciting inappropriate photos from a minor – Neither of those allegations appear in the charging documents.

‘No Way a Jury Will Convict’

Sandoval-Moshenberg expressed total confidence in his client’s innocence, declaring at a press briefing: “There’s no way a jury is going to see the evidence and agree that this sheet metal worker is the leader of an international MS-13 smuggling conspiracy.”

He revealed the charges are based on “the statements of individuals who are currently either facing prosecution or in federal prison,” adding pointedly: “I want to know what they offered those people.

The Nightmare Deportation

The saga began on March 12 when Abrego Garcia – a construction worker with a 5-year-old child and two stepchildren – was pulled over by ICE agents while driving home from work in Baltimore with his young son in the car.

Despite having legal protection from deportation granted by an immigration judge in 2019 due to fears of persecution in El Salvador, he was whisked away to Texas and deported within days.

His terrified wife Jennifer Vasquez Sura only discovered his fate when she spotted him in a video of shackled prisoners that El Salvador’s President Bukele posted on social media, showing detainees being marched into the notorious CECOT mega-prison.

Supreme Court Showdown

The case sparked an unprecedented constitutional crisis, with the administration defying multiple court orders, including a unanimous Supreme Court ruling ordering them to “facilitate” his return.

Federal Judge Paula Xinis, overseeing the case, grew so frustrated with the government’s stonewalling that she blasted them for “continued mischaracterization” of court orders and accused them of “willful and bad faith refusal to comply with discovery obligations.

At one heated hearing, when asked about Abrego Garcia’s whereabouts, a Justice Department lawyer could only stammer: “Your Honor, I do not have the information provided to me that I can provide to you.”

Political Football

The case became a lightning rod for criticism of Trump’s immigration crackdown, with Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen even traveling to El Salvador to visit Abrego Garcia in prison.

“As I have repeatedly said, this is not about the man, it’s about his constitutional rights – and the rights of all. The Administration will now have to make its case in the court of law, as it should have all along,” Van Hollen said Friday.

What Happens Next

Abrego Garcia appeared in a Tennessee federal court Friday evening, wearing a beige button-down shirt, jeans and hiking boots. His arraignment is set for June 13.

The two-count indictment alleges he participated in a years-long conspiracy to transport undocumented migrants from Texas to other parts of the country between 2016 and 2025.

His wife maintains his innocence, saying: “Kilmar worked in construction and sometimes transported groups of workers between job sites, so it’s entirely plausible he would have been pulled over while driving with others in the vehicle.

If convicted, Abrego Garcia faces prison time in the U.S. before being deported back to El Salvador – the very country a judge ruled he couldn’t be sent to due to fears for his safety.

But his legal team remains defiant. As Sandoval-Moshenberg declared: “Mr. Garcia is going to be vigorously defending the charges against him.”

The shocking case raises profound questions: If the government could bring him back all along, why did they wait months while defying the Supreme Court? And can anyone receive a fair trial after being “disappeared” to a foreign prison in violation of court orders?

One thing is certain – this explosive saga is far from over.
