He was wrongly deported, in this case, at least as I understand it. He is from El Salvador. You have the right energy though, because most of the people they are saying they “deported” are supposedly Venezuelan nationals and have, to your point, been human trafficked.
Edit: this was a controversial take. I maybe wasn’t careful with my words enough, which is my bad, but also I think most people probably agree there is a difference between what happened to Abrego Garcia (while still very fucked up) and what happened to an even larger set of people that have been largely existing in the shadow of this and other higher profile cases. A whole slew of people got kidnapped and shipped to a country they had never even seen before (the same amount of fucked up as before, but then with extra sauce and seasoning of the worst kind) and will never leave. They’ll die on foreign dirt. They’ll get put in an unmarked mass grave, maybe. Or maybe not be given a burial at all. And that has emotional consequences, sometimes on a spiritual level, for loved ones. These folks are ALL being wronged in irreparable ways. I only meant to try and point out a still-important difference between the one case everyone posts about and the hundreds of others that have an extra element of cruelty baked into them.
He wasn’t “wrongly” deported, he was deliberately deported. Any excuses that it was an accident don’t hold water because the reasons against his deportation (previous court case prohibiting it) would have been uncovered during Due Process. They knew he shouldn’t be returned, so they avoided due process to keep from addressing that issue.
If someone kidnapped you and illegally transported you to your hometown and kept you in prison a labor camp (or brothel, I suppose) without any proof of wrongdoing, you would also have been trafficked. Origin and destination doesn’t come into it.

The term “human trafficking” has generally become accepted to describe prostitution, and MAGA is using that to muddy the waters.
Among the spurious accusations against him is that he was involved in “human traficking” in some undescribed way, which leads most people to believe that he was involved in prostitution in some way. In reality, his “human trafficking” allegation stems from an incident when he was pulled over while driving a van of workers to a construction site. All were paid workers, eager to earn a day’s pay, none were forced to do anything.
By that definition, driving your kids to school, the grocery store, or even church, could be considered “human trafficking.” I hated going grocery shopping with mom. Does that make my mom a “human trafficker?”
He wasn’t deported, he was trafficked.
Get it right.

Deportation involves due process.
There was none.
In fact his removal was to the one place the government was ordered to not send him
Deportation is a legal process. It includes due process. Otherwise, we “accidentally” kidnap and traffick American citizens.
Which is actually happening!

Same with all the rest of them.

They paid to keep him in prison there. Doesn’t sound like deportation to me.
