To the editor: The columnist Jonah Goldberg is right in that the problem is a regular procedure and not if Kilmar Abrego Garcia is innocent or guilty, and that this argument is “stupid” (“Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia a criminal?” April 22). But Goldberg makes his own “stupid” argument when he says: “Insisting that he is an innocent man, the Democrats imply that if he was not innocent, which the Trump administration did to him would be impeccable.” Me, and I will go out on a member and include democratic colleagues, I do not imply anything like Goldberg deduces something without a base.

To the editor: Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia a criminal? He was not accused of a crime, and even less condemned. Unlike the false claims of President Trump and the Ministry of Internal Security, it has been shown that it was a member of a violent gang.
Given this, much greater questions: why have the United States sent Abrego Garcia to a notorious prison? And why did the Trump administration not even try – to its open contempt for an ordinance of the Supreme Court – to act decently and to facilitate its release?

To the editor: Jonah Goldberg's article on Kilmar Abrego Garcia hits all the right notes; This person is innocent until guilt is proven. Trump, on the other hand, pardoned nearly 1,600 insurrectionists, most of whom were declared or pleaded guilty. They are the ones who committed heinous crimes against our rule of law and were rightly sentenced.
