The\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>two-count indictment accuses Abrego Garcia “of conspiracy to unlawfully transport illegal aliens for financial gain” and “unlawful transportation of illegal aliens for financial gain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bondi says Abrego Garcia will face trial in the U.S. on these charges and, if found guilty, will serve time in a U.S. prison before being deported back to El Salvador.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abrego Garcia’s attorney said they’re going to keep fighting to get him a fair trial. “Now, after months of delay and secrecy, they’re bringing him back, not to correct their error but to prosecute him. This shows that they were playing games with the court all along,” Abrego Garcia’s lawyer, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, told NPR. “Due process means the chance to defend yourself before you’re punished, not after. This is an abuse of power, not justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12042492 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/20250501_MayDayRally_GC-11_qed-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Salvadoran native who had been living with his wife and children in Maryland, Abrego-Garcia was deported in March to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison despite a 2019 court order barring his deportation to that country due to fear of persecution. The Trump administration defended the move, claiming he was a member of the criminal gang MS-13. His wife and attorneys deny that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 10-page criminal indictment unsealed today alleges that Abrego Garcia participated in more than 100 trips smuggling individuals, including unaccompanied minors and alleged members of the Salvadoran gang MS-13.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abrego Garcia’s deportation case has become a bedrock for both the Trump administration and immigration advocates as the push to streamline deportations undercuts key elements of due process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the announcement of Abrego Garcia’s return, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement that the indictment against Abrego Garcia “proves the unhinged Democrat Party was wrong, and their stenographers in the Fake News Media were once again played like fools,” adding that the administration would “continue to hold criminals accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been nearly three months since the father of three children was pulled over in his car by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and ended up imprisoned in El Salvador. Abrego Garcia was arrested on March 12 on his way home from work in Baltimore. He was deported a few days later, along with more than 230 other immigrants, and housed at CECOT. By April 20, according to court documents, Abrego Garcia was moved to a lower security Salvadoran prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration was quick to admit that it had deported Abrego Garcia due to an “administrative error.” Abrego Garcia, who had arrived unlawfully in the U.S., when he was a teenager, had received protection from removal to El Salvador in 2019 by an immigration judge. That protection, known as withholding of removal, had never been challenged by government officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis in Maryland has overseen the months-long legal case over the deportation of Abrego Garcia. Xinis, an Obama-appointed judge, last month ordered the government to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return. The Justice Department repeatedly invoked the state secrets privilege in federal court to withhold information related to the first three flights to El Salvador, one of which Abrego Garcia was on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On April 10, in a 9–0 ruling U.S. Supreme Court that\u003cu> \u003c/u>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/04/10/nx-s1-5358421/supreme-court-abrego-garcia-deportation-decision\">\u003cu>the government “must facilitate\u003c/u>\u003c/a>” the return of Abrego Garcia. Still, the administration slow-walked the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump officials had remained adamant since the Supreme Court ruling that Abrego Garcia would “never” return to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Salvadoran President \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/04/18/nx-s1-5368266/trump-week-el-salvador-abrego-garcia\">\u003cu>Bukele also said\u003c/u>\u003c/a> he would not release Abrego Garcia. Notably, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., traveled to El Salvador in late April to seek Abrego Garcia’s release. Several other Democrats made their own trips, arguing that the Trump administration was violating due process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal prosecutors have requested that Abrego Garcia be held in “pre-trial custody because he poses a danger to the community and a serious risk of flight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The Trump administration defended the move, claiming he was a member of the criminal gang MS-13. His wife and attorneys deny that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 10-page criminal indictment unsealed today alleges that Abrego Garcia participated in more than 100 trips smuggling individuals, including unaccompanied minors and alleged members of the Salvadoran gang MS-13.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abrego Garcia’s deportation case has become a bedrock for both the Trump administration and immigration advocates as the push to streamline deportations undercuts key elements of due process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the announcement of Abrego Garcia’s return, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement that the indictment against Abrego Garcia “proves the unhinged Democrat Party was wrong, and their stenographers in the Fake News Media were once again played like fools,” adding that the administration would “continue to hold criminals accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been nearly three months since the father of three children was pulled over in his car by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and ended up imprisoned in El Salvador. Abrego Garcia was arrested on March 12 on his way home from work in Baltimore. He was deported a few days later, along with more than 230 other immigrants, and housed at CECOT. By April 20, according to court documents, Abrego Garcia was moved to a lower security Salvadoran prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration was quick to admit that it had deported Abrego Garcia due to an “administrative error.” Abrego Garcia, who had arrived unlawfully in the U.S., when he was a teenager, had received protection from removal to El Salvador in 2019 by an immigration judge. That protection, known as withholding of removal, had never been challenged by government officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis in Maryland has overseen the months-long legal case over the deportation of Abrego Garcia. Xinis, an Obama-appointed judge, last month ordered the government to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return. The Justice Department repeatedly invoked the state secrets privilege in federal court to withhold information related to the first three flights to El Salvador, one of which Abrego Garcia was on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On April 10, in a 9–0 ruling U.S. Supreme Court that\u003cu> \u003c/u>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/04/10/nx-s1-5358421/supreme-court-abrego-garcia-deportation-decision\">\u003cu>the government “must facilitate\u003c/u>\u003c/a>” the return of Abrego Garcia. Still, the administration slow-walked the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump officials had remained adamant since the Supreme Court ruling that Abrego Garcia would “never” return to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Salvadoran President \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/04/18/nx-s1-5368266/trump-week-el-salvador-abrego-garcia\">\u003cu>Bukele also said\u003c/u>\u003c/a> he would not release Abrego Garcia. Notably, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., traveled to El Salvador in late April to seek Abrego Garcia’s release. Several other Democrats made their own trips, arguing that the Trump administration was violating due process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal prosecutors have requested that Abrego Garcia be held in “pre-trial custody because he poses a danger to the community and a serious risk of flight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

For food, he said they were given a cup of rice and a glass of water a day. It was very concerning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawyers, advocates and experts are warning that overcrowding is the new normal across the country. The federal government is holding more than 48,000 people in immigration detention, about a 20% increase since January. But deportations are not keeping pace. Experts say that’s largely what’s driving the overcrowding in detention centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s incredible pressure to ramp up arrests inside the interior of the United States,” says Adam Isacson of the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), a nonprofit immigrant advocacy group. He estimates that ICE is at 125% detention capacity. “And so far, there has been, if anything, just a slight increase in the capacity to actually deport people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE told NPR that “some ICE facilities are experiencing temporary overcrowding due to recent increases in detention populations. We are actively implementing measures to manage capacity while maintaining compliance with federal standards and our commitment to humane treatment.

She told NPR that in the intake area, two to three dozen men are “crammed into the perimeter of a very tiny room for up to 48 hours. They defecate in front of each other, they eat, they sleep on stone floors. It’s really inhumane.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say this situation is playing out nationally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have seen a rapid deterioration over the last few months,” says Setareh Ghandehari, advocacy director at the nonprofit advocacy group Detention Watch Network. “We’re hearing reports … that there isn’t enough food.” She says she’s increasingly been hearing accounts from people in detention going hungry. “I’ve heard people use the word ‘starving.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been \u003ca href=\"https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/ice-acting-director-says-9-people-died-in-custody-since-january/3567956\">nine deaths in ICE detention since January\u003c/a>, which is on track to be the deadliest year \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/detain/detainee-death-reporting\">since 2020\u003c/a>.

It would provide $75 billion over the next couple of years in additional funding for ICE, including $45 billion for detention facilities and $14.4 billion for removal operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can have, permanently, the safest, strongest, most secure system in American history,” Miller told the network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But immigrant advocates warn the measure will expand mass detention and surveillance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that it is not designed to increase the removals of people who are not legally allowed to be here,” says Deborah Fleischaker, former acting chief of staff for ICE during the Biden administration. “It is designed to hold more people for longer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fleischaker believes ICE has historically been underfunded. But she says the bill as written “is so significant and so extreme. What they’re trying to enable … I don’t think it is within the imagination of the American people when they voted for Donald Trump.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Isacson of WOLA adds that the actions occurring now will multiply. “Plainclothes people using rough tactics and covering their faces to take people off the streets and sort of muscle them into vehicles,” he says. “This is going to be common. And it’s going to become much more common to see that all around the country military bases may have detention facilities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘What are the chances my deportation flight will make a wrong turn?’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“I am anguished. I have not heard anything about my son.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late in May, NPR began receiving messages from Vivian Ortega, a mother in Venezuela, regarding her son, Jhonkleiver Ortega.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jhonkleiver Ortega came to the U.S. three years ago and was working in construction. He was picked up while driving in November 2024 for not having a license, which under Florida state law is not available to immigrants without legal status. She told us she had sold her house in Venezuela to pay for his $7,000 bond in January. When he went to his next court hearing in February, he was detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vivian had heard from him infrequently, and she was terrified “he was barely eating in there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data trackers and policy experts say the Trump administration’s goal of deporting one million migrants a year is so high that encouraging self-deportation is paramount. “The fact that [detention] is often so unsafe and unhealthy leads me to believe that there’s also a desire to wear people down,” says Isacson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High-profile flights — with migrants sent to the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo, Cuba, and to El Salvador’s notorious detention center CECOT and, more recently, a flight headed to South Sudan — have sent a strong message. For Vivian, the possibility was a source of constant anguish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On June 3, NPR was able to locate Jhonkleiver Ortega at Glades Detention Center in Florida. He had been to immigration court the day before. NPR was given permission by the family to record his conversation with his mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They told me they had to review my asylum case,” Ortega told his mother. “They told me I have to send proof that I was tortured in Venezuela. And in four months they would give me an answer. And I said I can’t anymore. It’s been months of this. They barely feed us here. I can’t anymore. I asked to be deported. This week or next I will be on a flight to Venezuela. If they give me a call from Louisiana I’ll call you before the flight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What?” his mother asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I asked the judge what are the chances that my flight will get lost and accidentally end up in another country? And she said if that happens you call the deporter. Or email me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>If you have immigration tips you can contact our tip line, on Whatsapp and Signal: 202-713-6697 or reporter Jasmine Garsd: jgarsd@npr.org \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz of Florida paid \u003ca href=\"https://www.wlrn.org/immigration/2025-05-29/krome-miami-wasserman-schultz\">a surprise visit\u003c/a> there last week. She told NPR that in the intake area, two to three dozen men are “crammed into the perimeter of a very tiny room for up to 48 hours. They defecate in front of each other, they eat, they sleep on stone floors. It’s really inhumane.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say this situation is playing out nationally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have seen a rapid deterioration over the last few months,” says Setareh Ghandehari, advocacy director at the nonprofit advocacy group Detention Watch Network. “We’re hearing reports … that there isn’t enough food.” She says she’s increasingly been hearing accounts from people in detention going hungry. “I’ve heard people use the word ‘starving.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been \u003ca href=\"https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/ice-acting-director-says-9-people-died-in-custody-since-january/3567956\">nine deaths in ICE detention since January\u003c/a>, which is on track to be the deadliest year \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/detain/detainee-death-reporting\">since 2020\u003c/a>. At least three of those deaths have been in Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Major expansion of detention facilities coming\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration is promising to increase the rate of arrests of immigrants to 3,000 people a day. “President Trump is going to keep pushing to get that number up higher each and every single day,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller told Fox News \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJNXsOqFSZs&list=RDNSMJNXsOqFSZs&start_radio=1\">last week\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller was discussing the sweeping budget bill passed by the House and now before the Senate. It would provide $75 billion over the next couple of years in additional funding for ICE, including $45 billion for detention facilities and $14.4 billion for removal operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can have, permanently, the safest, strongest, most secure system in American history,” Miller told the network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But immigrant advocates warn the measure will expand mass detention and surveillance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that it is not designed to increase the removals of people who are not legally allowed to be here,” says Deborah Fleischaker, former acting chief of staff for ICE during the Biden administration. “It is designed to hold more people for longer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fleischaker believes ICE has historically been underfunded. But she says the bill as written “is so significant and so extreme. What they’re trying to enable … I don’t think it is within the imagination of the American people when they voted for Donald Trump.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Isacson of WOLA adds that the actions occurring now will multiply. “Plainclothes people using rough tactics and covering their faces to take people off the streets and sort of muscle them into vehicles,” he says. “This is going to be common. And it’s going to become much more common to see that all around the country military bases may have detention facilities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘What are the chances my deportation flight will make a wrong turn?’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“I am anguished. I have not heard anything about my son.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late in May, NPR began receiving messages from Vivian Ortega, a mother in Venezuela, regarding her son, Jhonkleiver Ortega.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jhonkleiver Ortega came to the U.S. three years ago and was working in construction. He was picked up while driving in November 2024 for not having a license, which under Florida state law is not available to immigrants without legal status. She told us she had sold her house in Venezuela to pay for his $7,000 bond in January. When he went to his next court hearing in February, he was detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vivian had heard from him infrequently, and she was terrified “he was barely eating in there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data trackers and policy experts say the Trump administration’s goal of deporting one million migrants a year is so high that encouraging self-deportation is paramount. “The fact that [detention] is often so unsafe and unhealthy leads me to believe that there’s also a desire to wear people down,” says Isacson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High-profile flights — with migrants sent to the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo, Cuba, and to El Salvador’s notorious detention center CECOT and, more recently, a flight headed to South Sudan — have sent a strong message. For Vivian, the possibility was a source of constant anguish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On June 3, NPR was able to locate Jhonkleiver Ortega at Glades Detention Center in Florida. He had been to immigration court the day before. NPR was given permission by the family to record his conversation with his mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They told me they had to review my asylum case,” Ortega told his mother. “They told me I have to send proof that I was tortured in Venezuela. And in four months they would give me an answer. And I said I can’t anymore. It’s been months of this. They barely feed us here. I can’t anymore. I asked to be deported. This week or next I will be on a flight to Venezuela. If they give me a call from Louisiana I’ll call you before the flight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What?” his mother asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I asked the judge what are the chances that my flight will get lost and accidentally end up in another country? And she said if that happens you call the deporter. Or email me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>If you have immigration tips you can contact our tip line, on Whatsapp and Signal: 202-713-6697 or reporter Jasmine Garsd: jgarsd@npr.org \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Moth storytellers stand alone, under a spotlight, with only a microphone and a roomful of strangers. The storyteller and the audience embark on a high-wire act of shared experience which is both terrifying and exhilarating. Since 2008, The Moth podcast has featured many of our favorite stories told live on Moth stages around the country. For information on all of our programs and live events, visit themoth.org.",
