Rallies in Los Angeles County Demand Justice for Wrongfully Deported Man
LOS ANGELES — Across Los Angeles County, solidarity rallies took place to support Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador at the end of March. The rallies drew attention to issues surrounding immigration policies and due process, particularly in the wake of Abrego’s case, which has sparked significant concern among advocates.
Rep. Robert Garcia, among the lawmakers advocating for Abrego, traveled to El Salvador to raise awareness about the situation. However, during a recent news conference, he revealed he was denied access to Abrego, raising alarms about the treatment of deportees. “People should know that any moment, we are concerned that the Trump administration can essentially snatch people, kidnap people off our streets in the United States and send them to a prison in El Salvador with no due process,” he stated, emphasizing the lack of legal representation and family contact for those affected.
Abrego was deported under the controversial 1798 Alien Enemies Act, a decision that drew criticism for lacking transparency and fairness. President Trump has labeled Abrego as a violent undocumented immigrant with ties to the MS-13 gang, further complicating the narrative. However, Abrego’s attorney strongly disputes these claims, asserting that they lack substantial proof and that the deportation raises serious ethical and legal questions.
The rallies, attended by community members and leaders, aim to shed light on the dangers of immigration enforcement practices that disregard due process and civil rights. As the situation continues to unfold, advocates are calling for immediate action to protect individuals facing similar circumstances. The community remains united in their fight for justice and the right to a fair legal process.
