'Won't admit it's a mistake': GOP lawmaker hits Trump admin over Abrego Garcia deportation

Sen. John Kennedy, R-Louisiana, called Kilmar Abrego Garcia's deportation "a screw-up" by President Donald Trump's administration – but also described it as a one-off error.

"Look, this was a screw-up in my opinion," the Louisiana Republican said during an interview with NBC's Kristen Welker on April 20. "The administration won't admit it. But this was a screw-up."

"And I understand why the administration has bowed up and won't admit it's a mistake," he added. "Because if they do, they'll have their throats torn out. But it was a screw-up."

The was 29-year-old Salvadoran national living in Maryland was expelled from the U.S. in March, in what the White House has acknowledged was "an administrative error." The Supreme Court told Trump administration officials to facilitate his return, but officials have argued they do not have the authority to retrieve Abrego Garcia from another country's prison.

Rare occasion I agree with Senator Cornpone.

Nothing but mistakes, they fired everyone who knew how to run things. Can't claim "Mistake!" every time you foul up.
