In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

An unappreciated part of this story: the person doing the arrest wasn't an ICE agent, it was an ATF agent. According to Reuters, 4 out of every 5 ATF agents has been reassigned to do immigration enforcement. So it's a great time to be a gun runner in the United States.
