Breaking News: US Charges El Salvadoran National with Alien Smuggling A significant development unfolded today as Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the indictment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia on charges of alien smuggling and conspiracy. A grand jury in Tennessee issued the sealed indictment. The charges stem from Abrego Garcia's alleged involvement in a large-scale human smuggling operation. The arrest and subsequent extradition highlight the growing international cooperation in combating human trafficking. "A grand jury in the middle district of Tennessee returned a sealed indictment charging Abrego Garcia with alien smuggling and conspiracy to commit alien smuggling," Bondi stated in a press conference. She expressed gratitude to President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador for his cooperation in returning Abrego Garcia to the United States to face the charges.
