Garcia Detained Amid Migrant Smuggling AllegationsKilmar Abrego Garcia faces charges for transporting migrants over 100 times between 2016 and 2025 and remains detained before trial.
- Kilmar Abrego Garcia was returned to the U.S. after a wrongful deportation to El Salvador and is currently held pending trial.
- He is accused of conspiring with at least five others to smuggle migrants into the U.S., often transporting them from Houston to Maryland.
- Garcia’s legal team denies the charges, arguing the prosecution is used to justify denying him due process.
- The case highlights tensions between the Trump administration’s immigration policies and judicial oversight.
The only reason they're calling him dangerous now is to justify the denial of due process and subjecting him to cruel and unusual punishment.— Defense lawyer Dumaka Shabazz made this statement during the hearing.

Appeals Court Upholds $5M Judgment Against TrumpThe court rejected Trump's bid to overturn a 2023 ruling holding him liable for assault and defamation from the 1990s.
- A federal appeals court refused to rehear President Trump's challenge to a $5 million civil judgment.
- This judgment stemmed from a 2023 jury verdict finding Trump liable for battery and defamation against writer E. Jean Carroll relating to incidents in the 1990s.
- The court upheld the damage award despite a dissenting opinion arguing for evidence of Trump's belief that the lawsuit was politically motivated.
- Trump is concurrently appealing a separate $83 million defamation award granted to Carroll.
E. Jean Carroll is very pleased with today’s decision. Although President Trump continues to try every possible maneuver to challenge the findings of two separate juries, those efforts have failed. He remains liable for sexual assault and defamation.— Roberta Kaplan, E. Jean Carroll's attorney, in a statement responding to the appeals court's decision.
