Suspected MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia was paid up to $1,500 per smuggling trip and may have raked in more than $100,000 annually trafficking humans, including minors, according to witnesses.
The new details about Abrego Garcia’s alleged “full-time job” come from co-conspirators and witnesses cooperating with the federal government’s human smuggling case against the Salvadoran national who was wrongly deported in March.
The allegations were shared by a federal agent during a Friday detention hearing in a Nashville court, where Abrego Garcia entered a plea of not guilty.
As part of the illegal operation, smugglers charged migrants from Central and South America $8,000 for passage into the US — and Abrego Garcia would pick them up in Texas to transport them across the US, Homeland Security Investigations special agent Peter Joseph testified.
Abrego Garcia was paid between up to $1,500 per trip and made about one to two smuggling trips per week, according to one co-conspirator, Joseph revealed.
The trips may have netted the Maryland man more than $100,000 per year in income.
The payment structure was corroborated by a second co-conspirator helping federal authorities, who noted $1,000 payments were passed from the trafficker to the driver making the long-haul trips.
The co-conspirator also alleged that roughly 30% of the smuggling operation’s customers were gang members.

Check his 1040 returns. See if he claimed depreciation, mileage, tolls, etc
...and paid the self-employed social security taxes.
/sarc
They can get him via the Al Capone violation route
Hes a Fool. Why work when he could make more just going on welfare and scarfing up all the free benefits there and through all the free giveaway programs like free groceries, transit passes, cooked meals, clothing, health care, phones, education, etc etc etc
When you love what you do, it's not just about the money. Besides, I'm pretty sure human trafficking has some fringe benefits that welfare doesn't provide.
Even the NYP has to say “wrongly deported.” That is crap.
I wonder how much he made having conjugal visits with Demonrat senators vacationing in El Salvador.
Let me guess. Made 100k under the table, paid no taxes. Then he took welfare and Medicaid for his kids.
This really is the poster child for democrats, or very close. Maybe if he trafficked kids he would be the poster child.
This monster probably did some “test driving” with the kids he was trafficking, to make sure they could satisfy his clients.

Oh my Godses
I hope he used an EV to transport his humans
Otherwise, lock.him.up.
...Why is this gringo shining a klieg light on me and my illegal activities....
I wonder if this was why Chrissy Van Hollen was so interested in Doogie Abrego. Sounds like Doogie’s domestic abusee kept the big bucks coming in through GoSubsidizeMe while Doogie was entertaining DemonRAT “Senators” down in El Salvador.
Smiles
I guess do
Let’s hope the lawyers have hard evidence of this. Hoping this is true is not a legal argument.
Surely there are credit card receipts.
Yep!
How many of those children and women did he rape?
Apparently Van Hollen has information to the contrary.
Find out who’s feeding him information. Cartel?
Those Tennessee cops who stopped him with a Suburban load of illegals all need ot be fired. They just laughed about it.
