Donald Trump says return of wrongfully deported man Kilmar Abrego Garcia 'wasn't my decision'

Donald Trump says return of wrongfully deported man Kilmar Abrego Garcia 'wasn't my decision' Show Caption Hide Caption Trump on the return of deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia President Trump spoke with reporters on Air Force One on the return of deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia. WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said in a new interview that he didn't speak with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele about Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return to the United States to face human trafficking charges, saying the move wasn't his choice. Trump told NBC News on June 7 it "wasn't my decision" to bring Abrego Garcia back to the country. Instead, he told the outlet the U.S. Justice Department 'decided to do it that way, and that's fine.' Abrego Garcia, a sheet metal worker and father of three from Maryland, was wrongly deported to El Salvador in March despite a 2019 court order barring his removal. His case drew national attention, after a standoff among the Trump administration, the courts and some congressional Democrats over his release. In April, a unanimous Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration to 'facilitate' Abrego Garcia's return to the United States. Officials claimed they couldn't force a sovereign nation − El Salvador − to relinquish a prisoner. The Trump administration insists that Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang, but a federal judge had previously questioned the strength of the government's evidence. Abrego Garcia denies being a gang member. Now, the Maryland man faces new charges on American soil. At a June 6 press conference, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi accused Abrego Garcia of making over 100 trips to smuggle undocumented immigrants across the nation. The indictment against Abrego Garcia alleges that he and co-conspirators worked with people in other countries to transport immigrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, and Mexico, and then took the people from Houston to Maryland, often varying their routes, and coming up with cover stories about construction if they were pulled over. Trump told NBC News he believes "it should be a very easy case' for federal prosecutors. But Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, a lawyer for Abrego Garcia, criticized the Justice Department for bringing these charges at all: "Due process means the chance to defend yourself before you're punished, not after. This is an abuse of power, not justice." Contributing: USA TODAY Staff

Live updates: Trump deploys National Guard to LA in response to immigration clashes

Update: Date: 15 min ago Title: A recap on what's going on in Los Angeles Content: Protests have gripped Los Angeles this weekend, sparked in response to immigration raids carried out on Friday. Here's what to know about the demonstrations: Why did they start? Protests in and around Los Angeles erupted on Friday after at least 44 people were arrested by federal immigration agents earlier in the day. The arrests come amid Trump's crackdown on immigration, which has involved waves of raids and deportations across the country. Late into Saturday, some protesters gathered near an immigration holding center in Alameda. What happened on Saturday? Law enforcement used tear gas and flash bangs in an effort to disperse the crowd in Paramount, California, and some protesters were detained. But the situation escalated when President Donald Trump said he was deploying 2,000 members of the National Guard to control protesters in the evening. Trump claimed local officials had failed to deal with the unrest, and the federal government would 'solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!' How are people responding to the National Guard? California Gov. Gavin Newsom called the deployment of troops 'purposefully inflammatory' and said it would only escalate tensions. The mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, said there was no evidence of the National Guard on the ground, despite Trump praising their efforts. And the League of United Latin American Citizens also condemned Trump's order, saying that the move 'marks a deeply troubling escalation in the administration's approach to immigration and civilian reaction to the use of military-style tactics.' The latest from the ground: Small groups of protesters continued to gather and disrupt traffic near the Metropolitan Detention Center in Alameda late Saturday, despite repeated warnings from police to disperse. At midnight, the LAPD announced several people who re-entered areas of 'unlawful assembly' have been detained and some will be 'arrested and booked.' It is unclear how many people were detained. The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department told CNN some remaining protesters threw fireworks at law enforcement, while officers formed a skirmish line to push people away from the area. Update: Date: 18 min ago Title: National Guard troops were last federalized during the 1992 Los Angeles riots after Rodney King verdict Content: President Trump's federalization of National Guard troops to quell immigration protests in Los Angeles on Saturday marks the first time a US chief executive has used such power since the 1992 LA riots in reaction to the acquittal of four White police officers in the beating of Black motorist Rodney King. Dozens of people were killed, thousands injured and thousands arrested during several days of rioting in Los Angeles at the time. Damage to property was estimated at more than $1 billion, in one of the worst civil disturbances in US history. Other federal mobilizations of the National Guard since World War II were made to support enforcement of the expansion of civil rights and ensure public order during the desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957; the University of Mississippi in 1962; the University of Alabama and Alabama public schools in 1963, according to the National Guard's website. Guard units also came under federal control to restore public order during the Detroit riots in 1967, in response to the assassination of civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr in 1968 and the New York postal strike in 1970, according to the Guard's website. Presidential mobilization of state militias was first authorized by Congress in 1792, in that case to help repel foreign invasions and suppress domestic insurrections, the website says. The biggest ever federalization of state militias was made by President Abraham Lincoln, when he called up 75,000 troops to fight the Confederacy and later support Reconstruction. After that, no president federalized state militias until the Detroit riots, according to the website. Update: Date: 21 min ago Title: Trump says protesters in Los Angeles won't be allowed to wear masks Content: President Donald Trump said early today he would ban the use of masks by protesters, after two days of unrest in Los Angeles. 'MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why???' the president posted on Truth Social. ICE officers are allowed to wear masks, however, with the agency's acting director Todd Lyons saying recently the agents cover up to protect their families. Update: Date: 3 min ago Title: Trump will meet with senior members of his administration at Camp David today Content: President Donald Trump is expected to meet with senior members of his administration today at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland, according to two sources. 'The White House has organized what will become a regular off campus retreat of principals attended by the President and Vice President,' a White House official said. They'll meet on a number of issues and topics, the official said. Attendees are expected to include Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, according to another person familiar with the meeting. Trump is expected to stay at Camp David tonight and return to the White House tomorrow, according to the White House official.
