Trump DOJ Faced With Motion to Dismiss Abrego Garcia Case Citing 'Vindictive' Prosecution

Lawyers for Salvadoran migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia have filed a motion to dismiss criminal charges from the Trump DOJ, citing a 'vindictive' prosecution, arguing that the indictment handed down by the Department of Justice was based on flawed evidence and intended to punish rather than seek justice. The lawyers claim that Garcia's rights were violated during his detention at an ICE facility in Georgia and that prosecutors are seeking to punish him for exercising his right to seek asylum. A federal judge in Nashville will consider the motion, which seeks to dismiss the charges against Garcia.
