To the editor: Columnist Jonah Goldberg is true in that the problem is due course of and never whether or not Kilmar Abrego Garcia is harmless or responsible, and that this argument is “silly” (“Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia a criminal? Great question,” April 22). However Goldberg makes his personal “silly” argument when he says, “by insisting that he’s an harmless man, Democrats are implying that if he weren’t harmless, what the Trump administration has carried out to him could be unobjectionable.” I, and I’ll exit on a limb and embrace fellow Democrats, am implying nothing of the kind whereas Goldberg is inferring one thing with out foundation.

To the editor: Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia a prison? He hasn’t been charged with a criminal offense, not to mention convicted. Nor, opposite to false assertions by President Trump and the Division of Homeland Safety, has he been proven to be a member of a violent gang.
Given this, far better questions are: Why did the U.S. ship Abrego Garcia to a infamous jail? And why has the Trump administration not even tried — in open defiance of a Supreme Courtroom order — to behave decently and facilitate his launch?

To the editor: Jonah Goldberg’s article on Kilmar Abrego Garcia hits all the best notes; this particular person is harmless till confirmed responsible. Trump, alternatively, pardoned almost 1,600 insurrectionists, most of whom had been both discovered or pleaded responsible. They’re those who dedicated heinous crimes towards our rule of legislation and had been rightfully convicted.
