Original Note:
This is disinformation. Kilmar Abrego Garcia has no criminal record and no charge or conviction has established MS-13 gang affiliation. Former officer Ivan Mendez who wrongly labeled Garcia MAS-13 was forced to leave as part of an indictment on unrelated charges. https://www.politifact.com/article/2025/apr/23/Donald-Trump-Abrego-Garcia-deport-MS-13-gang https://newrepublic.com/article/194010/kilmar-abrego-garcia-case-trump-deported-error-another-hit https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mdd.578815/gov.uscourts.mdd.578815.1.0_3.pdf
