Anyone debating or analyzing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life or record is doing a grave disservice.

He could be El Chapo. He could be Charles Manson. He could be the Dalai Lama.

It doesn't matter. What has happened to him and others is clearly a violation of America's core laws and principles.

If a lawyer was inadvertently included in an attorney-client privileged communication, they would have a clear ethical obligation to immediately sign-off and alert the other lawyer as to what had happened. (Not so for journalists, and properly so, but riddle it).
