U.S. — In yet another step toward the advancement of protections for all people groups, activists announced today that MS-13 had officially been added to the LGBTQ+ acronym to ensure that the rights of violent foreign gang members were recognized. Civil rights groups hailed the announcement as a significant step forward in the ongoing crusade to see MS-13 gang members be given their rightful place in society among other persecuted groups after decades of mistreatment and ostracism. "MS-13 gang members are some of the most oppressed and vulnerable in our society," said LGBTQMS-13 activist Cherise Hargrave. "For far too long,...

Democrats are trying to prevent immigration enforcement via “an extraordinary amount of individualized adjudication” at a level that “no American citizen” receives, President Donald Trump’s top aide Stephen Miller said.“This isn’t due process — this is called ‘infinity process’ to keep you here forever!” Miller told Newsmax on April 21.Miller’s “Infinity Process” comments echoed President Trump’s message:How can Biden let Millions of Criminals into our Country, totally unchecked and unvetted, with no Legal authority to do so, yet I, in order to make up for this assault to our Nation, am expected to go through a lengthy Legal process, separately,...

Robert Garcia, one of the four. “That is why we’re here – to...

Last week, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) scrambled to contain the fallout from his tone-deaf El Salvador stunt that quickly turned into a political fiasco. The Maryland Democrat, who initially grandstanded about his efforts to “rescue” a deported MS-13 gang member, is now in full damage control mode—desperately trying to rewrite the narrative of a trip that backfired spectacularly. Van Hollen even hit the Sunday talk shows to contain the fallout. Curiously insisting to Jonathan Karl of ABC News’s “This Week” that he’s not defending Kilmar Abrego Garcia, but that he’s defending “the rule of law.” Host Jonathan Karl pressed...

Trump border czar Tom Homan said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that he found it concerning Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) traveled to El Salvador on the “taxpayer dime” to meet Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Partial transcript as follows: JONATHAN KARL: Senator Van Hollen is obviously got a chance to meet with him, but he had to travel to El Salvador to get any information. Does that concern you at all? I mean, these are people sent by — I mean, in his case, sent by the United States, and not even a U.S. Senator, in his case, could get any...

If NewsBusters were to introduce a Scaremonger of the Month award, Symone Sanders would be the runaway winner for April. On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, which she co-hosts, ther former Kamala Harris press aide was commenting on the Abrego Garcia case: "Kilmar Abrego Garcia's specific case, the case of the gentleman who's a makeup artist out of California who was also sent to that prison . . . is so important. Because if they could do it to them, if they could snatch students off the street without any pushback or recourse, they will do it to any...

On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough went on a rumbling, bumbling, stumbling defense of Abrego Garcia--check the video beginning at 35 seconds for Scarborough doing his best bumbling Biden impression. But Scarborough ended by emphatically exclaiming: "This whole idea that he's a gang member: no he's not! It was never proved." During his jittery rant, Scarborough stressed that a court had granted "protection status" to Abrego Garcia. But Scarborough never mentioned the basis of that order. As per the BBC: "Mr Abrego Garcia's lawyers say that he was granted the status based on his 'well-founded' fear of persecution by Barrio-18,...

Maryland Democrat U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen met with deported illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia in his native El Salvador on Thursday where he gazed deeply, lovingly and closely in the eyes of the accused wife-beater and MS-13 gang member.

The deported El Salvadoran man at the center of an intense court battle was flagged in 2022 by the Biden administration as a "suspect alien" who was possibly involved in “human smuggling/trafficking” after a traffic stop hundreds of miles from his Maryland home, according to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) documents reviewed by Just the News.The records don't indicate whether the Biden administration ever followed up on the concerns.Kilmar Abrego Garcia was stopped in Tennessee for driving erratically and speeding by a state trooper in late November 2022 and was found to be driving an SUV full of people coming...

BOTTOM LINE: Garcia isn’t a ‘Maryland man,’ he’s a member of MS-13 and an illegal, who is now back in his native country of El Salvador where he belongs. On Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi released police records showing Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the “Maryland man” who was deported to his native El Salvador by the Trump administration, was in fact a member of MS-13 and was in the United States illegally.Contrary to the assertions of Garcia’s lawyers (and many in the corporate press) that there’s no evidence he’s a member of MS-13 and that the cops just made it...

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the Trump DOJ’s effort to block Judge Xinis’ order requiring the US government to “facilitate” the return of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia. A three-judge panel: Harvie Wilkinson (Reagan), Robert King (Clinton), and Stephanie Thacker (Obama) issued the order. Judge Wilkinson, the Reagan appointee, repeatedly referred to Abrego Garcia as a “resident” even though he’s an illegal alien. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an El Salvadorian national who was illegally residing in Maryland. In 2019, an immigration judge ordered Abrego Garcia, an alleged member of the dangerous MS-13 gang, removed from the...

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that if President Donald Trump’s administration can deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, they can “disappear” you. Warren said, “The point is, why are they doing this? And the answer is they want to have the American people say it’s OK to just disappear people. And somehow they think if they can make up lies about him, if they can do whatever they want, then the answer will be the American people will settle for this. We do not disappear people in the United States. Because here’s the thing. If they can...

At Wednesday’s White House press briefing, Karoline Leavitt didn’t hold back. In a clear, methodical takedown, she laid out exactly who the deported suspected MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia is — and it’s everything the Democrats don’t want the public to know. Spoiler alert: This is no innocent victim of Trump’s deportation policy. “When Kilmar Abrego Garcia was originally arrested, he was wearing a sweatshirt with rolls of money covering the ears, mouth, and eyes of presidents on various currency denominations,” Leavitt said. “This is a known MS-13 gang symbol of ‘Hear no evil. Speak no evil. See no...
