Good afternoon. We're here today to announce a major update in an important
00:07
case. Abrego Garcia has landed in the United States to face justice. On May
00:14
21st, a grand jury in the Middle District of Tennessee returned a sealed
00:19
indictment charging Abrego Garcia with alien smuggling and conspiracy to
00:25
commit alien smuggling in violation of Title 8 USC 1324. We want to thank
00:32
President Bukele for agreeing to return Abrego Garcia to the United States. Our
00:38
government presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to
00:43
return him to our country. We're grateful to President Bukele for agreeing to
00:48
return him to our country to face these very serious charges. This is what
00:54
American justice looks like. Upon completion of his sentence, we
00:58
anticipate he will be returned to his home country of El Salvador. The grand
01:05
jury found that over the past nine years, Abrego Garcia has played a significant
01:11
role in an alien smuggling ring. They found this was his full-time job, not a
01:20
contractor. He was a smuggler of humans and children and women. He made over a
01:29
hundred trips. The grand jury found smuggling people throughout our country.
01:36
MS 13 members, violent gang terrorist organization members throughout our country.
01:44
Thousands of illegal aliens were smuggled. This is especially disturbing because Abrego
01:56
Garcia is also alleged with transporting minor children. The defendant traded the
02:02
innocence of minor children for profit. There are even more disturbing facts that the
02:10
grand jury uncovered. It is alleged this defendant is part of the same smuggling ring
02:16
responsible for the death of more than 50 migrants in 2021 after the tractor trailer
02:23
overturned in Mexico. This is part of that same ring. The defendant abused undocumented
02:32
alien females, according to co-conspirators who were under his control while transporting them
02:39
throughout our country. This defendant trafficked firearms and narcotics throughout our country
02:47
on multiple occasions. They were using vehicles, SUVs, with added seats in the back, floors that
02:56
had been ripped out, guns, narcotics, children, women, MS 13 members. That is what the grand
03:06
jury found. A co-conspirator alleged that the defendant solicited nude photographs and videos of
03:15
a minor. A co-conspirator also alleges the defendant played a role in the murder of a rival gang members
03:21
mother. These facts demonstrate Abrego Garcia is a danger to our community.
