Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz, whom I’ve argued should just give up on his Democrat roots and come over to the party of reason, thinks that Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his backers made a poor choice to push for his return to the U.S. to face criminal charges for smuggling illegal immigrants. As we’ve reported, the alleged MS-13 gangbanger was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March and quickly became the left’s newest hero.
Dershowitz appeared on “The Record with Greta Van Susteren” Friday and said that Abrego Garcia and all his Democrat supporters may rue the day they lobbied so hard for this:
“I think it was a big mistake for him and his supporters to try to bring him back to the country,” Dershowitz said. “He’ll regret that. He’d have been a lot better off if he had made the following motion, if he had said ‘Look I’m deportable, and I don’t want to come back into the country.’”
Watch:
The United States is definitely one place he should not want to go:
Dershowitz added that Garcia’s best chance for freedom would have been to accept deportation to a safer country. He specifically mentioned Argentina as a potential destination that could have avoided the risks associated with returning to the U.S.
