Rallies Across Los Angeles Support Kilmar Abrego Garcia After Mistaken Deportation
LOS ANGELES — Activists held numerous rallies throughout Los Angeles County to support Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was erroneously deported to El Salvador in late March. The events come as public concern grows over the treatment of immigrants amid heightened enforcement actions.
Rep. Robert Garcia recently traveled to El Salvador to advocate for Abrego Garcia, but reported being denied access to him during a press conference on Tuesday. "People should know that at any moment, the Trump administration can essentially snatch individuals off our streets in the United States and send them to prisons in El Salvador, bypassing due process," he stated. "They are denied legal representation and access to their families."
Abrego Garcia’s deportation was facilitated under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, which critics argue undermines fundamental legal rights. President Trump has labeled him as a violent undocumented immigrant and a member of the MS-13 gang, stating he had a deportation order issued in 2019. However, Abrego Garcia’s attorney firmly disputes these claims, asserting that the accusations are unfounded.
The rallies represent a growing movement advocating for immigrants’ rights, emphasizing the alarming implications of the current administration’s policies. As the situation develops, advocates continue to call for justice and transparency in the immigration process, urging authorities to properly address the concerns surrounding wrongful deportations.
Community members remain hopeful that legal avenues will be pursued to rectify Abrego Garcia’s situation, ensuring that his rights—and the rights of others in similar predicaments—are upheld.
