Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian break down the Trump administration’s vindictive ultimatum to Kilmer Abrego Garcia II: plead guilty to dubious human trafficking charges and get deported to Costa Rica with its “lovely beaches,” or maintain your innocence and face deportation to Uganda—where you don’t speak the language and could be sent right back to El Salvador. The hosts expose how prosecutors are weaponizing deportation as punishment, turning what should be law enforcement into political retribution against a man who’s already been wrongfully deported once. They explain how a federal judge blocked this coercive scheme through habeas corpus proceedings, ordering Trump officials to testify about whether this is legitimate enforcement or vindictive prosecution. A crucial lesson in how due process protections apply to everyone in America—and what happens when an administration tries to use deportation threats to force guilty pleas from presumed innocent defendants.
