Episode Synopsis

Is the DOJ retaliating against an immigrant who won a case against Trump? A federal judge suspects foul play in the human smuggling prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man who previously sued the Trump administration after being deported. The judge granted Abrego's team the right to investigate if the charges are payback for his earlier victory, raising serious questions about weaponizing criminal charges against those challenging the government. With Abrego facing potential deportation and a long prison sentence, this case highlights the explosive intersection of immigration, constitutional rights, and alleged political retribution.
