Bodycam video released as Trump admin seeks to portray Abrego Garcia as a criminal to the public

Tennessee state law enforcement released video showing a 2022 traffic stop involving Kilmar Abrego Garcia, one of the incidents the Trump administration officials have used to justify the removal of the Maryland man who the government has admitted was wrongly deported to El Salvador in March. 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.

After winning a plurality of the popular vote in November, Donald Trump’s approval rating has plummeted to 41% - the worst of any president in his first 100 days in 70 years - according to a new CNN/SSRS poll. His approval on the economy — a key to his longtime political viability — is at its lowest-ever level at 39%. Only 35% approve of Trump's approach to inflation, the same number who back him on tariffs.
