Stories of justice and action across America

Welcome back, This is America readers, I'm Phillip M. Bailey, chief political correspondent with USA TODAY.

Abrego Garcia's story gripped the nation's attention at one point, as he became a face of the White House's strict immigration enforcement campaign. A sheet metal worker, he was arrested in March 2025 while living in Maryland, where he had been since entering the U.S. illegally in 2012, federal records show.

The Trump administration repeatedly claimed that Abrego Garcia was a member of the gang MS-13, but a federal judge said in August 2025 there was no evidence he had ever been part of the criminal organization.
