  Abrego Garcia's deportation resulted in significant public activism from both his local union, the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers (SMART) Local 100, and the SMART International Union. SMART general president Michael Coleman said the following in response to his deportation: "In his pursuit of the life promised by the American dream, Brother Kilmar was literally helping to build this great country. What did he get in return? Arrest and deportation to a nation whose prisons face outcry from human rights organizations. SMART condemns his treatment in the strongest possible terms, and we demand his rightful return."
