However, when he was discovered to be an illegal alien from Guatemala, police were able to kill two birds with...

In fact, the only real scandal here is that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was able to stay for as long as he did.The propaganda press is once again distorting the truth — and in some cases, flat out lying — to discredit and undermine President Donald Trump’s deportation efforts.

Two alleged Tren de Aragua gangbangers who were busted by the NYPD have been deported to El Salvador’s notorious hellhole prison — despite New York City’s sanctuary laws.

Both were on a leaked list of deportees flown to El Salvador’s terrorism confinement center (CECOT) earlier this month under the Alien Enemies Act — which President Trump invoked to make it easier to kick out members of...
