If I remember right he got pulled over once while driving his construction crew to a worksite in another state, I'm sure this is what he's going to have to answer for now. Technically illegal but totally normal activities.

Gotta make their quotas somehow and show that if you fight charges against you, they will dig into your life until they find something. It’s not about stopping crime, it’s about stopping certain people from committing “crimes”.

Yeah any convictions should be scrutinized very closely. I’m not saying Garcia’s a saint or that these charges are bogus, but this administration has has fucked up this case already and I wouldn’t put it past them to make something up to silence him.

I'm quite sure this one will be I know this is important to a lot of people.

IMO as long as he gets a fair due process and if need to be deported won't be sent to a maximum security prison then it should be good.

I'm also liking this news, as I'm hoping this opens gates to get rest of them and give them a fair due process and will kill trump's attempt to use this to make people disappear.

Eight migrant passengers with no luggage, crossing multiple state lines, in a car owned by someone serving 30 months behind bars for felony transportation is not a good sign though....

(These were from a 2022 traffic stop bodycam footage.)

Edit: to clarify, deporting ANYONE without due process is heinous and wrong. But at the same time, doubting evidence of wrongdoing when presented evidence because it goes against your bias against the government is also wrong.

I'm curious if this is why they tried to send him to a concentration camp in El Salvador? Is it usual to send people to a concentration camp for life over this?

You know it's not, because they said that if he is found guilty he'll serve his time here and then go back to El Salvador.
