Abrego Garcia has attorneys working his case through the US justice system. That is a key factor that the other entities lack.

He has already been illegally disappeared to El Salvador, despite theoretically having access to a lawyer. It took a national story for him to be brought back, only to get threatened by the exact same thing.
