> The only demonstrably, provably, without-a-doubt illegal act here was the deportation.
This is false. You and I know that it is provably, without-a-doubt, that he entered the US illegally and was remaining in the US illegally. There is nobody disputing this.

No one has charged him, let alone convicted him, of a crime for entering the country as a minor. He has no criminal record. That's a fact.
You and I know he received withholding of removal (and a work permit!). His remaining here at that point was legal, albeit potentially temporary.
The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled the deportation an illegal act. No portion of the judicial branch has yet weighed in on Garcia's actions.
