Authorities in Tennessee have released video of a 2022 traffic stop involving Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He’s the Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador.

    TL;DR:

    KAG was stopped. He was calm and polite.

    Then police officers started making racist assumptions because he had more non-white passengers in his vehicle than usual and one of them had enough money to purchase half an iPhone, as police do.

    Then they let him go because they had nothing on him.

    All I see is a big fat nothing at all.
