Abrego Garcia’s Atty.: Trump Admin Trying to Justify My Client’s Deportation by Airing His Dirty Laundry Is ‘Disingenuous and Frightening’

EXCERPT:

RIBE: “Here’s what I can say about the allegations. Our government admitted from the beginning that this was an error. And then afterwards, to try and justify this error, they try and find dirty laundry on our client, which really is irrelevant. First of all, their evidence is extraordinarily thin, but even if there was something there, that’s really irrelevant because the whole issue is that our client was deported to the one country where a judge, there’s a final order saying that he’s more likely or not to be persecuted or tortured if he were to remain in that country. And if — and now he was deported to that one isolated country, they have to facilitate his return. And once they do so, they are most welcome to put up any of this evidence in court. But to justify their own admitted mistake by trying to find all these justifications, reasons, dirty laundry is just really saddening, disingenuous and frightening.”
