The story of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is no longer just an individual case. It has become a symbol of how far the Trump administration is willing to go to enforce its immigration policy with harshness and arbitrariness - and how unscrupulously fundamental principles of the rule of law are being disregarded. Today, only three days after his release from pretrial detention in a federal case in Nashville, Abrego Garcia was arrested again - this time in front of his wife, his brother, his lawyers and dozens of supporters. The scene was the ICE building in Baltimore, where he was actually supposed to appear for a routine check-in. It became a trap. As soon as he climbed the steps to the federal building to applause and chants of \u201cS\u00ed se puede,\u201d the handcuffs clicked. Anyone who tried to take pictures of the arrest was taken away immediately. Only minutes earlier he had spoken - with a trembling voice, but full of dignity. \u201cBrothers and sisters, my name is Kilmar Abrego Garcia. And I want you to remember that today, I can say with pride, that I am free and reunited with my family.\u201d Words that had barely faded when he was again taken into custody by the same authorities that had unlawfully deported him to El Salvador in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sequence of events borders on political arbitrariness. First, Abrego Garcia was sent to the notorious terrorism prison CECOT in El Salvador against an explicit court order - an institution whose name stands for torture, humiliation and lawlessness. Then the government claimed for weeks that it was \u201cpowerless\u201d to bring him back. Finally they did bring him back to Nashville - but not to correct a violation of the law, rather to charge him with alleged human smuggling. Now, after his release, a new web of threats is being spun. His lawyers report that the Trump administration tried to pressure him into a guilty plea: a \u201cdeal\u201d that would have sent him to Costa Rica, where he could live freely as a legal refugee. If he refused, the message was, deportation to Uganda would follow - a country with which he has no connection, whose language he does not speak, and where his safety, according to his defense, would be seriously endangered. \u201cDragged halfway across the world,\u201d as one of his attorneys put it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
