NYT’s Pager: Trump Admin Is Pushing for Deportation of Abrego Garcia Because They Don’t Want to Admit Their Mistake

EXCERPT:

PAGER: “I mean, if you look at Donald Trump's career in politics, there's been a few prevailing mantras, and one of them is, don't admit mistakes, don't say you did something wrong. He has almost never done so. And so with this case in particular, it is the centerpiece of a larger policy, a larger effort led by Stephen Miller and other hard-line immigration forces within this administration that want to try to deport as many people as possible. This was a talking point for Trump in 2015, 2016, and it has been a through line through his entire political career and both in terms of his presidency, and with this case, they do not want to show any sort of, you know, care or caution in terms of that they made a mistake.”
