A suspected MS-13 gang member deported under President Trump is under federal investigation after links to a major human smuggling ring surfaced. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, previously removed from the U.S. as part of an immigration enforcement deal with El Salvador, is now being scrutinized by the Department of Justice following statements made by a convicted smuggler.
Four House Democrats traveled to El Salvador last week to advocate for a deported illegal migrant linked to MS-13 — all while staying in a luxury hotel with panoramic views and upscale amenities, the Daily Caller News Foundation confirmed.
Two House Democrats are asking for permission to travel to El Salvador to conduct “welfare checks” on illegal aliens deported by the Trump administration, including an alleged MS-13 gang member now held at the country’s notorious maximum-security prison. Reps. Robert Garcia (D-CA) and Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D-FL) made the request in a letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY).
Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has pledged to travel to El Salvador in an attempt to secure the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member who was deported under the Trump administration and is currently imprisoned in the Central American country. Van Hollen claims the man, a resident of Maryland and father of three, was “illegally abducted” from the United States.
CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings sparked backlash from fellow panelists Monday after defending the Trump administration’s mass deportations of illegal alien gang members affiliated with the Venezuelan criminal group Tren de Agua. The heated exchange unfolded during a segment discussing reports that individuals were deported based on body art linked to the gang.
