Democrat lies abound in all sizes and shapes; they wash over us daily during our consumption of the news, be it from conservative or progressive outlets. The lies about the deported gang member and wife beater Abrego Garcia have gotten a lot of mileage, and proivdes a lot of holier-than-thou comments on blogs from leftwing readers.
Unfortunately, the rightwing outlets fall down on explaining to viewers the crux of the Garcia deportation argument – maintained by the Left that he was denied due process. In reality Garcia was provided all that he had coming under our deportation laws. The Heritage Foundation makes this clear in ‘Abrego Garcia: The Poster Child for the Left’s Demands of Endless “Due Process”’ –
When an alien becomes deportable—either because they entered the U.S. illegally, overstayed their temporary visa, committed a crime, committed fraud, participated in terrorist activity, or other reasons—ICE charges the alien with ground(s) of deportability, which initiates removal proceedings with the Justice Department’s administrative immigration court system.
These are civil proceedings, not criminal. The administrative immigration judges are Justice Department employees in the executive branch; they are not federal judges under the Article III Judiciary of the U.S. Constitution.
That means deportable aliens in deportation proceedings do not have the same rights as a person in a criminal trial, such as being innocent until proven guilty, the right to a taxpayer funded public defendant, etc. Removing a deportable alien is not a criminal sentence
The unsuspecting news consumer is told that Garcia was wrongfully treated like a criminal and denied the ‘due process’ that US criminals receive after being arrested. The Left emphasizes this point while the Right remains silent, thereby letting the Left’s lie remain unchallenged. Hopefully, this little bagatelle will explain the matter to open-minded readers, while true believers of the Left remain unreachable.
