DOJ Expects Ex-Prosecutor Who Reportedly Quit over Kilmar Abrego Garcia Case to Testify for Accused Human Smuggler
Update: 2025-10-23
Description
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) revealed in a Wednesday legal filing that it anticipates Kilmar Abrego Garcia to call Ben Schrader, who reportedly quit his job as a prosecutor over objections to the human smuggling case against the citizen of El Salvador, as a witness at an upcoming evidentiary hearing where Abrego Garcia will seek to find evidence proving the government is engaged in vindictive prosecution.
Acting U.S. Attorney Robert McGuire announced that the DOJ anticipates Abrego Garcia to call Schrader as a witness in a filing opposing new requests for discovery by Abrego Garcia, who the prosecutor said has demanded additional information about Schrader's departure after Obama-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Waverly Crenshaw granted the defendant's request for discovery.
