New Republic: “Whistleblower Emails Expose Fresh Trump Abuses in Abrego Garcia Case Newly released communications show the lengths the Trump administration went to in order to label Kilmar Abrego Garcia an MS-13 leader.”

The New Republic reports that “Emails provided to Congress by a whistleblower and 15-year veteran of the Justice Department reveal that administration officials went to striking lengths to prop up the claim that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a “leader” of the MS-13 gang—even as President Trump was coming under intense pressure to return him from El Salvador after wrongfully deporting him.”  CNN also reports on the story.

A professional responsibility class could be taught from this set of facts alone.
