00:00Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, returns to the United States to face criminal charges for alleged migrant smuggling.
00:09According to the report, the two-counting indictment was filed under seal in the Middle District of Tennessee last month.
00:16The indictment alleges that Kilmar Abrego, 29, participated in an alleged conspiracy to transport migrants from Texas into the U.S.
00:26and illegal transportation of foreigners for financial gain.
00:30Abrego is the second deputy to return to the U.S. after a Guatemalan citizen was strongly sent to Mexico.
00:41Two months ago, the United States Supreme Court ordered the government to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia,
00:49to facilitate his release from custody in El Salvador, and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been
00:57had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador.
01:00Those are the words of the U.S. Supreme Court.
01:03I think we can all agree that that is not what happened today.
01:06What happened today is not the manner in which this would have been handled had Mr.
01:10Obrego Garcia never been improperly sent to El Salvador.
01:13What happened today is an abuse of power.
01:17What happened today is the exact opposite of due process, because due process means the opportunity to defend yourself before you're punished, not afterwards.
01:27Mr. Obrego Garcia is going to be vigorously defending the charges against him.
01:32I am planning to meet with him as soon as possible.
01:38As we've explained to many of you, he's been held completely incommunicado for the entire time that he was in El Salvador.
01:43He was not allowed attorney visits.
01:46He was not even allowed attorney phone calls.
01:47But this is nothing like what the Supreme Court envisioned two months ago when it upheld the district judge's order requiring that the government facilitate his return in the ordinary course.
02:04U.S. President Donald Trump revealed Friday that the meeting between the U.S. and Chinese teams will take place next Monday, June 9th, in the British capital of London.
02:17In a post on his Truth Social account, the U.S. President indicated that the meeting will focus on the trade agreement.
02:24He also stated that the U.S. team will be made up of Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trade Representative Jameson Greer.
02:36Then Trump announced that the meeting should go very well.
02:40On Thursday, the U.S. President had a phone conversation with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping and later shared that this call focused almost exclusively on trade-related issues.
02:54And it's like what he was going to say when he buscoallyuen is spending the first half of Monmouth at thezent доhts years ago in beginning, so he政.
03:11I never know that there were other non-judicial issues due to this game.
03:16But I didn't know, it wasn't possible to maintain his company anymore, but it was on kind of two walk-in can tell us what he actually said.
