'I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive': Fight continues over wrongly deported man's return to Maryland
Court documents show that he is being charged with two counts related to the unlawful transportation of undocumented migrants.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) released a statement about Abrego Garcia's return to the U.S. He said it is 'about his constitutional rights & the rights of all.'
For months, the Trump Administration flouted the Supreme Court and our Constitution. Today, they appear to have finally related to our demands for compliance with court orders and with the due process rights afforded to everyone in the United States. As I have repeatedly said, this is not about the man, it's about his constitutional rights – and the rights of all. The Administration will now have to make its case in the court of law, as it should have all along.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen

Utah can execute convicted murderer who has dementia, judge rules
Utah can execute convicted murderer who has dementia, judge rules Show Caption Hide Caption Death penalty: Which states still use capital punishment The death penalty has been used in the U.S. since 1608. But various Supreme Court rulings have limited its use. Here's why it's controversial. Just the FAQs, USA TODAY A Utah judge on June 6 ruled a 67-year-old convicted murderer diagnosed with dementia on death row is competent enough to be executed. A trial court sentenced Ralph Leroy Menzies to death in 1988 for kidnapping, robbing and murdering 26-year-old Maurine Hunsaker, a married mother with three children. Since then, Menzies has been on death row. Menzies had chosen firing squad as his method of execution, according a ruling published by KUTV. While awaiting execution, he developed vascular dementia, and his lawyers had argued he was too incompetent to be executed. In a 22-page ruling, State Judge Matthew Bates said Menzies exhibited cognitive decline. But Bates said Menzies hasn't shown that his 'understanding of his specific crime and punishment fluctuated or declined in a way to offend the Eighth Amendment' of the Constitution, which protects against cruel and unusual punishment. Discover WITNESS: Access our exclusive collection of true crime stories, podcasts, videos and more Instead, Bates said in his ruling, 'Menzies consistently and rationally understands the reasons for his death sentence.' His lawyers tried to appeal his death sentence several times. Bates said Menzies' right to appeal the ruling was exhausted in late 2023, but news outlets report Menzies' legal team plans to appeal to the state Supreme Court. 'Ralph Menzies is a severely brain-damaged, wheelchair-bound, 67-year-old man with dementia and significant memory problems,' Lindsey Layer, a lawyer for Menzies, said in a statement published by multiple news outlets. 'It is deeply troubling that Utah plans to remove Mr. Menzies from his wheelchair and oxygen tank to strap him into an execution chair and shoot him to death.' USA TODAY has contacted Layer for comment. In an emailed statement, Madison McMicken, a spokesperson for the Utah Attorney General's office, said prosecutors were committed to seeking justice for Hunsaker. On Feb. 23, 1986, Menzies murdered Hunsaker while she was working as a cashier at a gas station in Salt Lake County, according to court records. He abducted her and stabbed her to death, leaving her body in the woods outside of Salt Lake City. Menzies had several past convictions for aggravated robberies before killing Hunsaker, who left behind three children, including a 6-month-old baby. Capital punishment: Supreme Court to consider use of multiple IQ tests in determining death penalty One of her children, Matt Hunsaker, was 10 when his mother was killed. He told KSLTV, a Salt Lake City TV station, that their family was one step closer to justice with the June 6 ruling. Menzies would be the sixth person executed by firing squad in the United States since 1976, according to the nonprofit Death Penalty Information Center. In 2019, the United States Supreme Court stopped the execution of an Alabama man convicted of fatally shooting a police officer because he had vascular dementia. Vernon Madison couldn't remember his crime or his punishment, justices ruled. In 2025, South Carolina executed two people by firing squad, the first such executions since 2010, when Utah last executed a person. The same day as Menzies' June 6 ruling, the Supreme Court said it would review using multiple intelligence tests to determine the death penalty against a person.

Trump says he thinks the government has a 'very easy case' against Kilmar Abrego Garcia
President Donald Trump on Saturday said that it wasn't his decision to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, back to the U.S. to face federal charges, saying the "Department of Justice decided to do it that way, and that's fine." "That wasn't my decision," Trump said of Abrego Garcia's return in a phone call with NBC News on Saturday. "It should be a very easy case" for federal prosecutors, the president added. Trump added that he did not speak with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele about Abrego Garcia's return, even though the two men spoke about Abrego Garcia during an April meeting in the Oval Office. His remarks came after Abrego Garcia arrived back in the U.S. on Friday and was charged in an indictment alleging he transported people who were not legally in the country. The indictment came amid a protracted legal battle over whether to bring him back from El Salvador that escalated all the way up to the Supreme Court. Abrego Garcia's family and lawyers have called him a family man, while Trump and his administration have alleged that he is a member of the gang MS-13. The case drew national attention amid the Trump administration's broader push for mass deportations. After Abrego Garcia's deportation, lawyers for the Trump administration said he was deported in an "administrative error," as Abrego Garcia had previous legal protection from deportation to El Salvador. Still, the Trump administration did not attempt to bring Abrego Garcia back, even as the Supreme Court ruled that it had to "facilitate" his return to the U.S. Democrats, including Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., had for weeks said that Abrego Garcia was denied due process when he was detained and deported, arguing that he should have been allowed to defend himself from deportation before he was sent to El Salvador. Trump on Saturday called Van Hollen, who went to visit Abrego Garcia in jail in El Salvador in April, a "loser" for defending the man's right to due process. "He's a loser. The guy's a loser. They're going to lose because of that same thing. That's not what people want to hear," the president said about Van Hollen. "He's trying to defend a man who's got a horrible record of abuse, abuse of women in particular. No, he's a total loser, this guy." On Friday, Attorney General Pam Bondi alleged that Abrego Garcia "was a smuggler of humans and children and women. He made over 100 trips, the grand jury found, smuggling people throughout our country." In a statement Friday, Abrego Garcia's lawyer called Bondi's move "an abuse of power, not justice." —
