DOJ Appeals Dismissal of Charges Against Kilmar Abrego Garcia

The DOJ has filed an appeal to reinstate charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, dismissed by a judge who cited vindictiveness in the prosecution.
The DOJ argues that the human smuggling allegations are based on solid evidence and not retaliation for Abrego Garcia's deportation challenge.
Abrego Garcia's deportation to El Salvador in March 2025 was followed by a Supreme Court order returning him to the U.S. three months later.
