The George Floyd-ing of Kilmar Garcia

Julie Kelly, Substack

The same sort of mythology that engulfed George Floyd now surrounds Kilmar Abrego

Garcia, the border-crosser from El Salvador here illegally since 2011. As both deportation and criminal proceedings advance—his lawyers just filed a motion to dismiss the indictment based on selective and vindictive prosecution, claiming Garcia is being “punish[ed] for exercising his constitutional rights”—Garcia will remain a hot topic in the news while the George Floyd-ing of him undoubtedly will continue. At least George Floyd was a citizen.
