The Picture The Media Is Painting Is Somewhat Inaccurate

Posted on by

The media is painting a very sympathetic picture of Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was recently sent to prison in El Salvador. They have chosen to overlook the fact that there is significant evidence that he was (or is) a member of MS-13. But there is other evidence against him that has been somewhat under-reported.

On April 17th, Red State reported:

The FBI ordered the Tennessee Highway Patrol in 2022 to release Kilmar Abrego Garcia after a traffic stop yielded proof that he was operating a vehicle without a valid license, and despite concerns from officers that he was engaged in human trafficking.

Abrego Garcia is the man portrayed in the media as little more than a ‘Maryland father’ who was recently deported to El Salvador under President Donald Trump. Democrats have latched onto his case after it was discovered his removal was the result of a clerical error.

But a new report by The Tennessee Star shows there are layers of complexity to the man’s case.

According to the outlet, Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) stopped Abrego Garcia in December 2022, and an officer who filed the report on the incident confirmed that he was transporting seven other individuals in the vehicle from Texas to Maryland.

Abrego Garcia was discovered to be operating the vehicle without a valid driver’s license, prompting a more thorough background check. The lack of a valid license alone is a misdemeanor offense that could have lead to jail time.

More ominously, the officer at the scene indicated he had suspicions that Abrego Garcia was “engaged in human trafficking.”

The article also notes:

Abrego Garcia, the man Democrats and the media have latched onto to portray President Trump’s deportation operation as heartless, according to an immigration judge in 2019, had evidence of an association with the violent MS-13 gang.

In fact, two judges have determined he is likely to be a member of MS-13.

RedState Managing Editor Jennifer Van Laar reported Wednesday evening that Abrego Garcia was detained by Prince George’s County, Maryland officials in 2019. During that interaction with law enforcement, he was determined to be loitering outside a Home Depot with several other men with either known or suspected MS-13 ties.

Details of the incident indicate extensive ties between the ‘Maryland father’ and his gang affiliates, including one man with a comprehensive and violent criminal history, and a revelation that Abrego-Garcia and others at the scene were “detained in connection to a murder investigation.”

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has made this case a major cause–even visiting El Salvador in an attempt to meet with Abrego-Garcia. I wish he were as concerned with the American prisoners Hamas is holding.

The President of El Salvador’s Statement About The Prisoners Returned To His Country

Posted on by

There was a bit of a dust-up over the weekend when a U.S. District Judge attempted to stop President Trump from flying some Venezuelan Tren de Aragua members to El Salvador to be imprisoned there. The Trump administration says it disregarded a judge’s order to turn around two planeloads of criminals because the flights were over international waters when the order was issued and therefore the ruling did not apply, I have no idea whether that is valid or not, but the criminals were here illegally, they were violent, and they needed to be in jail somewhere.

On Monday, Townhall posted a statement by El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele.

This is the statement:

Today, the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua, arrived in our country,” he said, They were immediately transferred to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center, for a period of one year (renewable).

The United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us.

Over time, these actions, combined with the production already being generated by more than 40,000 inmates engaged in various workshops and labor under the Zero Idleness program, will help make our prison system self-sustainable. As of today, it costs $200 million per year.

On this occasion, the U.S. has also sent us 23 MS-13 members wanted by Salvadoran justice, including two ringleaders. One of them is a member of the criminal organization’s highest structure.

This will help us finalize intelligence gathering and go after the last remnants of MS-13, including its former and new members, money, weapons, drugs, hideouts, collaborators, and sponsors.

As always, we continue advancing in the fight against organized crime. But this time, we are also helping our allies, making our prison system self-sustainable, and obtaining vital intelligence to make our country an even safer place. All in a single action.

May God bless El Salvador, and may God bless the United States.

We are fortunate to have a President who removes violent criminals from our country.
