NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia asks the Tennessee criminal court to order the govt to stop making extrajudicial statements about Abrego that could prejudice the trial. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT From the moment Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia challenged his illegal rendition to El Salvador in March 2025, the government has repeatedly maligned him in public statements. Instead of complying with the Supreme Court’s order that it “facilitate” Mr. Abrego’s return to the United States, the government launched a public disparagement campaign against him to justify his unlawful detention in El Salvador’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center (“CECOT”), one of the most violent, inhumane prisons in the world. As Mr. Abrego’s plight captured national attention, officials occupying the highest positions of the United States government baselessly labeled him a “gangbanger,” “monster,” “illegal predator,” “illegal alien terrorist,” “wife beater,” “barbarian,” and “human trafficker.” The Vice President, a Yale Law School graduate, went so far as to flatly lie about Mr. Abrego, calling him a “convicted MS-13 gang member,” notwithstanding that Mr. Abrego in fact has never been convicted of any crime at all.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.

So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.

Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.
RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.
