Harvard Law School’s Alan Dershowitz, a voice that often makes sense, believes Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s decision to push for his return to the U.S. was a bad move. Garcia, allegedly part of the MS-13 gang, found himself accidentally deported to El Salvador in March, and somehow became a poster child for the left. Recently, Dershowitz shared his thoughts on “The Record with Greta Van Susteren,” expressing that Garcia and his Democrat supporters might regret their actions.
Dershowitz explained that trying to bring Garcia back to the U.S. was a mistake. He suggested that Garcia would have been wiser to accept deportation and stay away from the country. “He’ll regret that,” Dershowitz said, highlighting that Garcia’s chances for freedom might have been better if he had opted to remain deported.
Garcia’s case took a turn when the Department of Justice uncovered his involvement in over 100 smuggling trips. A grand jury revealed that human trafficking was not just an occasional crime for Garcia, but his full-time occupation. Adding to the severity, it was reported that he frequently abused women during these operations.
Pam Bondi announced that Garcia will be returned to the U.S. to face charges, but will eventually go back to El Salvador after serving his sentence. Meanwhile, Dershowitz criticized Garcia’s backers, including Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen, for caring more about their political narratives than Garcia’s well-being. According to Dershowitz, their support might not have been in Garcia’s best interest.
RedState’s Nick Arama had previously reported on Garcia’s run-ins with the law, noting an arrest in 2022 for human trafficking suspicions. Garcia was found with eight people in a car linked to a convicted smuggler and $1400 in cash, seemingly payment for his illegal activities. Surprisingly, under the then-Biden administration, he was released without facing federal charges.
Now, with the Trump administration’s Department of Justice in action, Garcia’s criminal activities have been further exposed. Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes, under a limited immunity deal, confirmed hiring Garcia for trafficking operations. This revelation underscores the serious nature of the crimes Garcia was involved in.
Democrats’ support for Garcia seems to have been more about political theater than genuine concern for his fate. They appear to have used the situation as a tool to attack Trump, but it seems their strategy might backfire. Dershowitz predicts that Garcia will regret returning to the U.S., as his future looks grim.
The current state of illegal immigration is a testament to the effectiveness of President Trump’s policies. Despite the left’s false narratives, securing the border did not require new legislation, just strong leadership. Thanks to Trump’s initiatives, illegal immigration has seen a significant decline.
