The Spin

Democratic narrative

This case exposes the dangerous consequences of ignoring court orders and due process in immigration enforcement. Abrego Garcia was wrongfully deported despite explicit judicial protection and then subjected to horrific torture in a notorious prison. Only after Garcia's case gained national attention did the Trump administration scramble to build a criminal case against him.

Republican narrative

Abrego Garcia is a dangerous MS-13 gang member and human trafficker who has manipulated the system with false stories. The charges against him are serious and well-founded, involving the smuggling of children and gang members across multiple states. His deportation was correcting a mistake that allowed a criminal to remain free in American communities for years.
