    As much as Abrego Garcia's lawyers and supporters may have fought for him to return, Alan Dershowitz, who has been a defense attorney for some pretty high profile figures, told NewsNation that same day that a "big mistake" was made. Dershowitz described the move as "a big mistake, big blunder by his lawyers," when it comes to Abrego Garcia. "His lawyers never, ever should have tried to bring him back to the United States. They should have filed a motion, having him transferred from El Salvador or Nicaragua, where maybe there was some fear, to another place, say Argentina or...

    Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz, whom I’ve argued should just give up on his Democrat roots and come over to the party of reason, thinks that Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his backers made a poor choice to push for his return to the U.S. to face criminal charges for smuggling illegal immigrants. As we’ve reported, the alleged MS-13 gangbanger was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March and quickly became the left’s newest hero.Dershowitz appeared on “The Record with Greta Van Susteren” Friday and said that Abrego Garcia and all his Democrat supporters may rue the day they...

    Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA) said Saturday on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” that the recent Los Angeles ICE raids were “shameful,” adding that all immigrants in the country illegally deserve due process.” Co-host Jonathan Capehart asked, “What was your reaction to the ice raids in Los Angeles?” Garcia said, “I mean obviously we’re not just devastated, but I think a lot of us in California especially, are incredibly concerned. about what’s happening in our home state. But across the country what we’re seeing is really not actions that are trying to target folks that are not actually doing anything illegal or that...

Police say his remains were then driven to Stafford County." His body was discovered...

    Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a suspected MS-13 gang member whose deportation case has made him a hero for the Democratic Party, was previously stopped by a highway patrol officer while driving a car belonging to a confessed human trafficker, multiple Department of Homeland Security sources revealed in a bombshell report from Just The News. Abrego Garcia — a Salvadoran illegal alien who has been falsely referred to as a “Maryland man” by Democrat politicians and mainstream media outlets — was pulled over driving an SUV belonging to Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes in Tennessee. Reyes, another illegal alien, confessed to participating in...

    Ben Schrader, the Chief of the Criminal Division at the US Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee, quit in protest after a federal grand jury indicted Abrego Garcia. Schrader believed the federal case against Abrego Garcia was pursued for political reasons. “Earlier today, after nearly 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, I resigned as Chief of the Criminal Division at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee. It has been an incredible privilege to serve as a prosecutor with the Department of Justice, where the only job description I’ve ever known is to...

    U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis excoriated Trump administration lawyers Friday in a remarkable status hearing centered on Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Salvadorian migrant and alleged MS-13 member who was deported from Maryland to El Salvador in March in what administration officials have acknowledged was an administrative error. The heated back-and-forth was full of eye-popping exchanges between the judge and the Justice Department, as she took umbrage with their attempts to invoke the state secrets privilege to shield details concerning Abrego Garcia from the court. "What world are we living in," Xinis asked in disbelief after more than two hours...

    This week, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem got in a heated argument with Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman (NY). The hearing was meant to focus on the budget. Of course, the hearing got sidetracked when Democrats began to press Noem about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the so-called “Maryland Man” who was living in the United States illegally and got deported to El Salvador. Democrats have flown to El Salvador to advocate for his release, despite the fact that judges determined that he is a member of MS-13. "It's gotta be extremely discouraging to be one of your constituents," Noem told...

    Communism is not dead in Latin America. In fact, the dominoes are falling south of the border, but no one seems to be noticing. “It’s a new day. Communism is dead. It’s even dead in Cuba.” So declared Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing in May 2002. “I hate to say it,” she continued, “it’s dead.” The senator’s proclamation was a surprise, no doubt, to Fidel Castro, whose regime was (and is) alive and as Red as ever. It also must have come as welcome news to the people of Cuba, still suffering, after nearly half...

In the coming weeks, the Senate will take up a Democratic resolution that would require the Trump administration to detail the human rights record of El Salvador, including its treatment of inmates in the megaprison where Abrego Garcia, a mistakenly deported illegal immigrant, was briefly detained.

Sura recalled multiple instances of alleged abuse, claiming that Abrego Garcia pushed her, grabbed her by the hair and slapped her.

These new details follow Just the News reporting last week that Abrego Garcia was flagged in 2022 by the Biden administration as a "suspect alien" who was possibly involved in “human smuggling/trafficking” after a traffic stop in Tennessee raised the suspicions of a...

    WASHINGTON -- Four House Democratic lawmakers have traveled to El Salvador to call attention to the plight of a man the Trump administration deported to a Salvadoran prison and has refused to help return — even after the Supreme Court ruled that it was the government's duty to do so. Reps. Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, Maxine Dexter of Oregon, Maxwell Frost of Florida and Robert Garcia of California arrived in the Central American nation on Sunday to investigate the condition of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had lived in the United States for more than a decade.

    The House members are Reps. Robert Garcia, of California; Maxwell Frost, of Florida; Maxine Dexter, of Oregon; and Yassamin Ansari, of Arizona. Four House Democrats have traveled to El Salvador to, in the words of one member, remind Americans that Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, an El Salvadoran migrant who had been living in Maryland, was wrongfully deported to his home country. “While Donald Trump continues to defy the Supreme Court, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being held illegally in El Salvador after being wrongfully deported,” said California Rep. Robert Garcia, one of the four. “That is why we’re here – to...

    Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said she plans to visit El Salvador at the invitation of President Nayib Bukele next month, the latest in a string of congressional trips to the country since it became the epicenter of controversy around President Donald Trump’s mass deportation policy. The White House and allied Republicans have cozied up to the Salvadoran president, who has become a key ally in Trump’s deportation messaging campaign. House Republicans made a trip to the country last week, posting pictures of prisoners incarcerated in CECOT, where Kilmar Abrego Garcia — a Salvadoran native who was illegally deported back...

    Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA) said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that the Trump administration’s refusal to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the United States represented the president stepping over a red line. Garcia said, “I think what’s really, really, really clear to us is that this is more than just about immigration or deportations, this is about a red line in the sand that Donald Trump is now stepping over. the fact that he’s unwilling or unwilling to listen to the supreme court, of which he appointed conservative judges, justices to, is a fire alarm moment in this...

    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,...
