Kilmar Abrego Garcia appeared in a Tennessee courtroom Friday, hours after he was brought back to the U.S. to face charges of transporting undocumented migrants.

Mistakenly deported Salvadoran native Kilmar Abrego Garcia is on his way back to the United States where he will face criminal charges for allegedly transporting undocumented migrants within the U.S., according to sources familiar with the matter.

More than two months after the Trump administration admitted it mistakenly deported Abrego Garcia from Maryland to his native El Salvador, a federal grand jury has indicted him for allegedly transporting undocumented migrants within the United States, ABC News has learned.

A two-count indictment, which was filed under seal in federal court in Tennessee last month, alleges Abrego Garcia, 29, participated in a years-long conspiracy to haul undocumented migrants from Texas to the interior of the country, according to sources briefed on the indictment.

    “The grand jury found that over the past nine years, Abrego Garcia has played a significant role in an alien smuggling ring,” Bondi said.

    Dear God, this person has no idea what they are talking about. A Grand Jury doesn’t determine innocence or guilt, their only responsibility is to determine if there is enough evidence to go to a trial. If Grand Juries suddenly get to decide if people are guilty, then Trump is guilty in ALL of his prosecutions, not just the ones we had enough time to confirm, since they all said there was plenty of evidence to go to a trial.

    In any case, I can’t wait for the prosecution to present their ironclad case to a real jury, because the whole photoshopped tattoos and driving people in cars is probably not going to carry much water.
