Fifty percent of American citizens think that Kilmar Abrego Garcia should be brought back to the United States from El Salvador by the Trump Administration amid his legal battle over deportation, according to a new poll. In a YouGov/The Economist poll released on Wednesday, 50 percent of respondents said they think Abrego Garcia should be returned to the United States and 28 percent said they do not think the Trump Administration should bring him back. The poll shows that 49 percent of men think he should return to the U.S. and 32 percent do not think he should. Comparatively, 52 percent of women think Abrego Garcia should come back to the U.S versus 24 percent who think he should not. The Supreme Court previously ordered that the administration should help facilitate Abrego Garcia's return, in a unanimous ruling. Since the order, the administration has since been accused of defying the High Court's ruling. The YouGov/The Economist survey also shows that nearly half of Americans think that the Trump administration is disobeying court orders when deporting immigrants.

The Trump administration claims a hitherto unknown power to arrest and deport anyone on American soil to a third country while also denying them their Constitutional right of Due Process.

Due Process is guaranteed to everyone on US soil..... citizens and non-citizens alike.

 
Garcia had ample due process. An immigration court decided he should be deported. The Immigration Board of Appeals upheld that decision. And there was finally a third decision in immigration court that the caveat of his deportation is that it not be to El Salvador. Garcia exhausted his options in due process 6 years ago.

He has finally been deported as a non-justiciable decision under the AEA even though the where conflicts with the earlier caveat. El Salvador will not send him back even if the United States wanted him so it is what it is.
 
Lol. So government officials were working on getting Garcia back and Trump stopped them.

You mean when the Trump administration granted him a work permit and he married an American and had kids?

El Salvadoran Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was legally residing in the United States. He crossed the border illegally in 2011 but received in 2019 a stay of removal due to immigration court finding over his application for asylum, stating likelihood that he would be persecuted by gangs in El Salvador. An allegation by a police officer in 2019 that Abrego Garcia by virtue of tattoos was a member of the M-13 was not pursued. He is married, with a child, and lived in the Baltimore area.

In the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a migrant who was deported to El Salvador despite a court order prohibiting it, more respondents said he should be returned to the U.S. rather than remain imprisoned in El Salvador, 42-26%. There's room for movement; 3 in 10 in an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll released Friday said they don't know enough about the case to say.


Overall, 46% said they approve of the way Trump is handling immigration, while 53% said they disapprove. On one hand, that's a 4-point drop in approval from a Washington Post/Ipsos poll in February. On the other, it's Trump's best rating across seven issues tested in this survey, produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates, with fieldwork by Ipsos.

His best rating on all the issues is underwater and falling fast. On everything else he is much worse.
