Immigration and Political Leverage

This chapter explores the intersection of immigration policy and crime narratives during the Trump administration, illustrating how specific cases were used politically. Focus is placed on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's wrongful deportation and the systemic complexities surrounding deportation processes tied to immigration law and political motivations. The discussion critically examines the implications of aggressive enforcement strategies and due process rights in the context of U.S. relations with Central American countries like El Salvador.
