Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes Kilmar Abrego Garcia immigration trump.

Court records show that the Trump administration has agreed to spare from deportation a key witness in the federal prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in exchange for his cooperation in the case. Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes has been convicted of smuggling migrants and illegally reentering the United States after having been deported. Records reviewed by The Washington Post show that Hernandez Reyes has been released early from federal prison to a halfway house and has been given permission to stay in the U.S. for at least a year. Prosecutors have identified Hernandez Reyes as the “first cooperator” in the case against Abrego, according to court filings.
