Like it's not just lack of due process, it's literally going contrary to what's the exact opposite of a removal order, followed up the orange toddler trying to run the smear job by pretending that the tattoos in question are MS-13 (they're not, US gang tattoos are pretty unmistakable), nevermind that MS-13 is not Tren de Aragua.

The whole affair screams bullshit. The dude was arrested in a Hone Depot parking lot looking for day labor. What kind of gangbanger extorts people and then goes to Home Depot for a side hustle?
The detective who wrote him up got suspended or kicked out of the force later because he tipped a prostitute that her brothel was under surveillance. The Washington Post also reported that the local dept had a gang sheet and they had developed a culture in which detectives had to fill in as many reports of potential gangsters as possible, otherwise they weren't to last with the unit.
So the detective probably fills the report to fill his quota, then ICE who's looking for criminal undocumented, because the propaganda needs to transform most undocumented into criminals/terrorists even though most of them are working takes up the report in front of the judge. The burden of proof is lower in immigration courts, so the hearsay/ false police report becomes a legal fact and the guy who fled El Salvador at the age of 16 because the rival MS13 gang, Barrio 18, was threatening him now became a gang member.
Then the Trump administration which has unleashed the worst nativist elements of this society decided to add a sprinkle of lawlessness by discovering the magic loophole. Their logic is this. If you deport people without cause or due process to a foreign prison no less, then you can claim that since they are in another country, there's nothing you can do to bring them back. So they dare the courts to force them.
This in turn sets the alarm with everyone who can see the implications of this. Today's illegal immigrant could be tomorrow's US citizen. If you defy the courts on this, why not defy the courts on a series of things? This is how dictatorships start.
So that's why we are up in arms about it. But the right wing mill doesn't want to argue this. So they keep trashing this poor man's reputation to make him as unsympathetic as possible. Like I said, this could be the case. Nobody's perfect. But whether Abrego Garcia is a good person or not, a domestic abuser or not, a gang member or not are besides the point.
The point is the rule of law and whether we are going to keep it in his country.
