Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been returned to the United States, and, upon his return, he has been hit with criminal charges. 

ABC News reports, in fact, that Garcia has already appeared in court in response to these charges.

As we will see, President Donald Trump has weighed in on the situation, and he thinks that this will turn out well.

The charges

Abrego Garcia, of course, is the illegal immigrant whom the Trump administration "wrongly" deported earlier this year. This has led to a legal battle, which has resulted in the courts ordering Trump to bring Abrego Garcia back to the United States.

For a while, the Trump administration was reluctant to do so, but it, apparently, has changed its mind, as Abrego Garcia is back on U.S. soil.

ABC News reports:

More than two months after the Trump administration admitted it mistakenly deported Abrego Garcia from Maryland to his native El Salvador, a two-count indictment unsealed Friday alleges that he participated in a yearslong conspiracy to haul undocumented migrants from Texas to the interior of the country.

ABC is apparently not eager to explain exactly how bad the crimes are that Abrego Garcia has been charged with.

The outlet, instead, adds:

He made his initial court appearance Friday evening in the Middle District of Tennessee, answering "Yes, I understand" in Spanish when U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes asked him if he understood the charges against him.

Trump weighs in

President Trump was recently asked about the decision of his administration to return Abrego Garcia to the United States, and the president thinks that, in the end, this will work out well for America and his administration.

The president said:

The DOJ made a decision. I  think their decisions have been very, very good. Maybe they just said, ‘Look, all of these people, these judges, they want to try and run the country.’ A local judge trying to run the country. The man has a horrible past, and I could see a decision being made, bring him back, show everybody how horrible this guy is.

The president continued by arguing that some federal judges are "trying to take the place of a president.

He said:

Frankly, we have to do something because the judges are trying to take the place of a president that won in a landslide. That's not supposed to be the way it is. So, I can see bringing him back. I could see. He's a bad guy.

We'll have to see how this plays out. There seems to be a strong likelihood that, at the very least, Abrego Garcia will end up in prison.
