High-Ranking Federal Prosecutor Resigns in Protest Over Kilmar Abrego Garcia Indictment

A high-ranking federal prosecutor resigned in protest after a grand jury indicted MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia on charges of trafficking aliens.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an El Salvadoran national who was illegally residing in Maryland. In 2019, an immigration judge ordered Abrego Garcia, an alleged member of the dangerous MS-13 gang, removed from the US.

After a months long court battle over his deportation, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was transported back to the United States from El Salvador to face criminal charges.
