HOT TOPICS | Wrongfully Deported—and Still Left Behind - April 16th, 2025

The Trump administration wrongfully deported Abrego Garcia—and they know it. They’ve even admitted it was a mistake. But despite a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling ordering the administration to facilitate his return, they’re refusing to bring him back. So now the question is: can Trump be held in contempt of court? Democratic lawmakers are headed to El Salvador to fight for Garcia’s return, because apparently court orders—and basic human decency—aren’t enough to move this administration. Don breaks it all down: the legal mess, the political fallout, and what this says about a government that’s playing games with people’s lives. It’s outrageous, it’s dangerous, and it’s happening right now. The Don Lemon Show is up for a Webby!
