The Tennessee Star learned on Wednesday that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged member of the Central American gang Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) who was deported to El Salvador under President Donald Trump amid legal action claiming the removal was by mistake, was suspected of being engaged in human trafficking by a Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) officer who detained him in December 2022, leading to the discovery of his name on a terrorist watch list.

The Star learned from sources familiar with the incident that Abrego Garcia was stopped for an unknown reason on December 6, 2022, and that the THP officer responsible for the stop immediately discovered Abrego Garcia was transporting seven passengers, with eight individuals inside the vehicle.

During a nearly two-hour traffic stop, the THP officer determined that Abrego Garcia (pictured above) was operating the vehicle without a valid driver’s license and began searching for information about him.

One source told The Star that THP ultimately discovered Abrego Garcia was on a terrorist watch list, but could not locate Abrego Garcia on a deportation list. Another source told The Star that THP did not discover Abrego Garcia on a terrorist watch list but that another one of the seven passengers in the vehicle may have been on a terrorist watch list.

Here's the entire piece from the star:

Biden's FBI Ordered TN Highway Patrol to Release ‘Maryland Man’ Recently Deported to El Salvador After He Was Detained in 2022 Traffic Stop on Suspicion of Human Trafficking

The Tennessee Star learned on Wednesday that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged member of the Central American gang Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) who was deported to El Salvador under President Donald Trump amid legal action claiming the removal was by mistake, was suspected of being engaged in human trafficking by a Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) officer who detained him in December 2022, leading the THP to contact the FBI for guidance. Within two hours, the FBI ultimately requested the THP release Garcia and the passengers in his vehicle. THP complied with the request.

(Why were they released)

The Star learned from sources familiar with the incident that Abrego Garcia was stopped for an unknown reason on December 6, 2022, and that the THP officer responsible for the stop immediately discovered Abrego Garcia was transporting seven passengers, with eight individuals inside the vehicle.

During a nearly two-hour traffic stop, the THP officer determined that Abrego Garcia (pictured above) was operating the vehicle without a valid driver's license and began searching for information about him.

One source told The Star that THP ultimately discovered Abrego Garcia was on a terrorist watch list, but could not locate Abrego Garcia on a deportation list. Another source told The Star that THP did not discover Abrego Garcia on a terrorist watch list but that another one of the seven passengers in the vehicle may have been on a terrorist watch list.

(this all wreaks of Garcia being a company asset)

THP subsequently called the FBI, which was then led by former Director Christopher Wray under the Biden administration. The FBI instructed the THP officers at the scene to capture photographs of all eight people in the vehicle and document its contents.

Once the photographs were captured, this source told The Star that the FBI requested THP release all eight individuals and that the THP officers complied with this request.

(once again no one asking the "why are they being released" question)

The Star learned that the circumstances of the stop made the THP officer responsible for the stop concerned that Abrego Garcia was engaged in human trafficking, but that Abrego Garcia and his passengers were nonetheless released at the request of the FBI.

Information about this incident, including the identity of the THP officer, the officer's badge number, and the Computerized Dispatch Report code assigned to the incident, are all known to The Star, which is currently withholding this information.

Sources familiar with the Computerized Dispatch Report of the incident told The Star that the officer who filed the report confirmed that the seven individuals in the van were being transported from Texas to Maryland by Garcia.

Notably, it is a misdemeanor offense in the state of Tennessee to operate a motor vehicle without a valid driver's license. Anyone convicted of this Class B misdemeanor faces up to six months in jail.

The officer who detained Garcia temporarily is well-respected within the Tennessee Highway Patrol, has served on a special interdiction team, and is based in a district located between Nashville and Knoxville, which includes Putnam County.

In response to Wednesday press inquiries from The Star, THP and the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security both confirmed receiving the communication, and that communications staff would send responses which did not arrive prior to press time.

A comment request by The Star to the FBI, seeking to confirm its instructions to THP, was not immediately answered.

The Star also contacted the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), as the chief authority over human trafficking investigations in the state, to determine whether Abrego Garcia was released due to a TBI investigation, but did not receive an immediate response.

(no one is talking on this one)

An inquiry to the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees federal human trafficking investigations, likewise went unanswered prior to press time.

Abrego Garcia is a Salvadoran citizen who illegally immigrated to the United States in 2014. Despite two judges determining he is likely to be a member of MS-13, Abrego Garcia and his family have denied this claim. In 2019, he was granted a “withholding of removal” order, which determined Abrego Garcia could not be deported to El Salvador over concerns related to his safety in his homeland, but that he could be removed to a third country.

He was deported to El Salvador under the Trump administration as the result of an error in March. Both U.S. District Court Judge Paula Xinis and the U.S. Supreme Court have ruled that the government must take steps to allow Abrego Garcia to return to the country. However, the high court recently halted an order by Xinis on the grounds that she sought to compel the Trump administration to engage in diplomacy with President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador.

Bukele, during a recent Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump, stated that he had neither the authority nor the motivation to release Abrego Garcia, who is deemed a terrorist after the Trump administration added MS-13 to the federal government's list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations.

“I don't have the power to return him to the United States. How could I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course, I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous,” said Bukele in response to a question about Abrego Garcia.

Asked whether he would consider releasing Abrego Garcia within the borders of El Salvador, the head of state replied, “We're not very fond of releasing terrorists into our country.”

..................................

There is big money in human smuggling. Hillary Clinton used to run a big smuggling operation on a worldwide basis. She often used the CIA to do the dirty work like with Seth Rich for example.

The CIA at times sub-contracted much of what they do these days. And one of the groups they used over and over was MS13. Gotta wonder if Abrego Garcia was a sub-contractor for the company and that's how he was released when the news of his capture hit the FBI. We know the FBI is also partially a criminal organization.

Lots of questions on this one.

I didn't know about the human trafficking angle on this guy, but I, too, have started to suspect that there must be some demoncrap/derpstate connection to this guy given the curiously loud efforts they are making to spring this guy.

He must have dirt on some powerful folks, and if he talks, they can't get into CECOT to kill him.

By now ms13 has infiltrated almost everything and every org. If Garcia was an FBI asset it would have been hard to cover up as corrupt as the FBI was and likely still is. I think it’s more likely he was a CIA asset,able to move from country to country if necessary.

That's likely as well.

Problem there is if he did know too much he likely would be history by now. That's what happened to the two ms13's who may have shot Seth Rich. A few months later they turned up dead.

It's not really clear who shot Rich.

It's more likely that when hillary ordered him dead she called cia to do the job and they farmed it out to MS13. That may make more sense than FBI killing him.

What we do know is that when the FBI found out Garcia was being held they immediately had him released along with other dirtbags.

So this guy,Garcia, who was an illegal,had no drivers liscense,was a known wife beater, highly suspeceted of human smuggling and had another terrorist in the van was important enough for everyone to go free. Very strange.

What we don't know is whether the "let him go stuff" came from cia or fbi.

“I didn’t know about the human trafficking angle on this guy...”

Me, either. I think I heard that first yesterday. But let’s bring him back, shall we?

No problem,I enjoy looking into some of this stuff before i go to work. Some of these things which look simple on the surface or not so easy when you get into them. Rich was one,I’m into over 4 years on him,this one appears to be another.

“Over 200 Venezuelans were sent to an El Salvadoran prison.”

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I hope they’re happy. (Not really.)

we do not know the mechanical details (cia or fbi)
but when you strip it to the core, you will uncover a spiritual war
there are operators in all government agencies, culture, and education systems that worship the devil
these people have no allegiance to any nation
Satan is their master

sounds simplistic but when you accept that there is a spiritual war, everything makes sense

"he FBI requested THP release all eight individuals and that the THP officers complied with this request."

Do you think that if you were stopped while having no driver's license in Tennessee while transporting 7 illegal immigrants across state lines, that the FBI would direct that you be released without charges?
