US officials have argued the traffic stop in November 2022, in which Abrego Garcia was not detained or charged, supports their claims that Abrego Garcia was a member of MS-13 and involved in human trafficking. A redacted police report released to CNN by the highway patrol did not address suspicions of human trafficking. Abrego Garcia’s family and his lawyers deny those claims.
