The corporate media is being called out by Vice President J.D. Vance for failing to accurately report the facts of an immigration case where Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an El Salvadoran national and alleged member of the violent MS-13 criminal gang, was deported to his home country. While federal attorneys have acknowledged a U.S. immigration judge had issued an order preventing Abrego Garcia’s removal to El Salvador, the corporate media—especially The Atlantic and POLITICO—have attempted to brush the more troubling facts regarding the MS-13 gang member under the rug, instead portraying Abrego Garcia as an innocent father of three.
According to The Atlantic–the same magazine that recently peddled the Signal ‘war plans’ hoax–the Trump administration detained and deported “a Maryland father with protected legal status” to El Salvador—obfuscating Abrego Garcia’s court-determined affiliation with MS-13.
Meanwhile, former Obama White House speechwriter Jon Favreau attempted to make political hay of The Atlantic article with a post on X (formerly Twitter) directed at Vice President Vance, Elon Musk, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, stating: “You just admitted to accidentally sending an innocent father from Maryland to a torture dungeon in El Salvador. And you refuse to do anything about it.”
‘A CONVICTED MS-13 GANG MEMBER.’
The post by Favreau prompted Vice President Vance to respond and set the record straight regarding Abrego Garcia’s criminal history.“My comment is that according to the court document you apparently didn’t read he was a convicted MS-13 gang member with no legal right to be here,” Vance wrote, adding: “My further comment is that it’s gross to get fired up about gang members getting deported while ignoring citizens they victimize.”

this is my shocked face. you can’t see it but...alright, I’m hysterically laughing.
Karoline just told the terrorist loving “media” clowns how the cow ate the cabbage at the press briefing. Still, the low I.Q. journalism school graduates want to continue their sob story narrative in their defense of foreign criminals who don’t want America to be Great. That’s why they brought the flags from their home countries with them to wave in the faces of Americans.
Sweet Karoline just shot that narrative down in the presser
The left wants vicious criminals brought into the country so they can terrorize Americans and vote democrat. They don’t care about you and me.
Next they’ll be saying the gangbanger was going to night school to get his PHD and was turning his life around and liked dogs.
nathanbedford is that enough due process for you? He was indeed convicted. Like I said in other posts. Why does anyone trust the lying media anymore?
THE 2019 IMMIGRATION CASE.
However, Cheney appears to have only read the current legal filing by Robert L. Cerna, acting field office director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), where ICE acknowledged the protective order barring Abrego Garcia from being removed to El Salvador. A review of Abrego Garcia’s 2019 case before a federal immigration judge reveals—as noted by Vice President Vance—that the court found sufficient evidence to determine that the El Salvadoran national was, in fact, a member of MS-13. The court’s determination is the equivalent of a conviction.
So it appears though it was still in violation of the order not to deport him to El Salvador? Am I incorrect about that?
New information, new opinion.
As long he’s gone, who cares?
New source, the VP was also referenced in the original article and he stated as much, that would requiring dismissing his statement on the illegal immigrant being convicted to then allow the article remain “vague.”
This begs the question as to why the VP statement should have been considered as false or at least unreliable? There was no reason to treat it as such given he has a greater access to the information than anyone else except the president.
Old Media is America’s #1 enemy.
The media loves two things, hamas and illegal alien gang bangers because they all live in rich white neighborhoods and dont have to deal with the fallout..but hey as long as those illegal alien gang bangers vote Democrat that is ALL that matters..ya think if this guy and the rest of them were wearing maga hats Biden would not have deported them, please, Pelosi and Schmumer would have built the damn wall with their bare hands
Everyone should care. This is a huge screw up.
I remember a similar exchange somewhere about the reliability and timing of information regarding illegal aliens.
Perhaps by/with the same person(s)?
I do care. Any court-found illegal alien gang member could and should be deported.
One. He had legal status.
Two. He hasn’t been proven to be a member of any gang in any court.
Three. The government admitted it was a mistake, or clerical error.
Four. He wasn’t just deported, he’s in a maximum security prison with no conviction.
Five. We should be concerned when the government can disappear people without due process.
gang banger and baby daddy to 3 yutes by multiple women deported! news at 9!
Sorry, pal. You can have your own opinion, however putrid it might be, but you can’t have your own facts.
“My comment is that according to the court document you apparently didn’t read he was a convicted MS-13 gang member with no legal right to be here,” Vance wrote...and as affirmed in today’s WH briefing.
So, who do I believe? Vice-president Vance and the White House? or fuzz? I know the answer to that one.
‘ So, who do I believe? Vice-president Vance and the White House? or fuzz? I know the answer to that one.’
Aww, you’ll figure it out, then ignore the facts. It’s the freeper way.
Look in the mirror when you say that.
Precisely because there is a DC media uproar on this issue, as well as by easily misled people on the internet, Karoline Leavitt reviewed the documents just this morning on this man, before the WH briefing.
He is what he is and was justly deportable.
