Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Ali Velshi” that the Trump administration was attempting to silence Congress and suspend the Constitution. When asked about the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka at the Delaney Hall Detention Center last week, Van Hollen said, “The assault that we’re witnessing right now is the Trump administration’s assault on the Constitution and due process rights, and in this case separation of powers and the ability of Congress to get the facts. We even had Stephen Miller, the other day, the president, one of his top advisers, talk about suspending the Constitution,...

The convicted human trafficker who owned the van driven by deported MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, has reportedly told DOJ officials that he PAID Garcia to transport ILLEGAL ALIENS from Texas across the country. This is the "Maryland Man" that Democrats have been fighting for.

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said again today that deported illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 terror gang member, will not return to the United States.During a hearing of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Noem said that Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador who will be deported if he returns to the United States.

The Trump Administration on Wednesday invoked the state secrets privilege to block the attempt to return MS-13 gang member and wife beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the Unites States. The Trump DOJ invoked the State Secrets Privilege in response to a federal judge’s order demanding details on Abrego Garcia’s incarceration at El Salvador’s CECOT prison. US District Judge Paula Xinis, an Obama appointee, responded to the Trump Administration’s invocation of the state secrets privilege and ordered a formal briefing. Both parties must submit briefs by Monday. “The Court requires formal briefing of the Defendants’ invocations of privilege, principally the state...

Better late than never? When Tennessee state police pulled over Kilmar Abrego Garcia in a car owned by a convicted human trafficker, carrying eight people without identification, the FBI and ICE couldn't be bothered to even ask the troopers to detain the group. The police knew Abrego Garcia was trafficking the group from Missouri to Maryland, but couldn't do anything about it.Of course, that took place under previous White House management. This administration's Department of Justice is far more interested ibn Abrego Garcia's midnight rides, ABC News reports this morning. Ibn fact, they have taken enough of an interest to...

The Tennessee Star confirmed Tuesday that Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes—an already convicted human smuggler and repeat border violator—has admitted under immunity to hiring El Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia for a string of human trafficking operations across the United States. The revelation follows a controversial 2022 Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) traffic stop where Abrego Garcia was caught transporting nine illegal immigrants through Tennessee without a license. The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) pulled over Abrego-Garcia on November 30, 2022, for speeding and swerving. When troopers approached his vehicle, they were shocked to discover eight male passengers packed inside.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia will return to the national spotlight when the Senate votes on a resolution calling for a report on his detention in El Salvador. 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.

Deported alleged MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia is facing more allegations of abuse after an audio recording reportedly of his wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, begging a judge for a temporary order of protection. In a recording of an August 2020 court hearing obtained by USA Today, Sura describes the abuse she allegedly suffered at the hands of Abrego Garcia. Sura recalled multiple instances of alleged abuse, claiming that Abrego Garcia pushed her, grabbed her by the hair and slapped her. "On Wednesday, he hit me, like around like, three in the morning, he would just wake up and like, hit...

VIDEOWe know him as "Maryland Man" aka Kilmar Abrego Garcia. However, did you know the tender LOVE story behind Maryland Man? Listen to his wife attest to their eternal love. A romantic tale for the ages. How could anyone be so cruel as to interfere with this deep love story via deportation? It is so sad. Kilmar, We Hardly Knew Ye! Such a precious soul who memorialized his feelings for his wife with knuckle tattoo symbols that obviously stand for "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing!"

Democrats might want to rethink making Kilmar Abrego-Garcia the face of their movement if newly released body cam footage is any indication of where things are headed. And to be clear, that's rhetorical, because it's absolutely an indication of where things are headed. For those unfamiliar with the Abrego-Garcia saga, the illegal immigrant was recently deported back to his home country of El Salvador. Because he was sent to CECOT, the Central American nation's gang prison (mostly made up of MS-13 members), controversy broke out about whether sufficient due process was given. Multiple judges have been involved, and the Trump...

The footage appeared to show highway patrol troopers being concerned that the illegal migrant was involved in human trafficking because he had eight other people in his car. He also kept changing his story, and possessed $1,400 in cash. The Tennessee Highway Patrol on Thursday released its bodycam footage of a traffic stop interaction it had with alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia in 2022. Abrego Garcia was deported by the Trump administration earlier this year, but has become the face of one of the biggest deportation cases in recent history. Democrats have argued that Abrego Garcia was a...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has apparently figured out how bad it looks for members of his party to travel to El Salvador to advocate for illegals who have been deported by the Trump administration. He is quietly telling other Democrats to knock off the trips. This week it was revealed that four of the Democrats who traveled to El Salvador stayed at a luxury resort. The optics of that could not be worse. This entire affair has caused millions of Americans to wonder why Democrats would go to such lengths for people who are not even American citizens. FOX...

[Note: This article has been updated to include a new response from the office of Hakeem Jeffries.] HOUSE MINORITY LEADER Hakeem Jeffries was asked Monday whether Democrats should continue to advocate for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and the other men wrongly shipped to El Salvador, by making the trip to the country to put a spotlight on the issue. “Our reaction is that Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any president in modern American history,” Jeffries responded. But while Jeffries may be publicly agnostic on El Salvador trips like the one Reps. Robert Garcia, Yassamin Ansari,...

President Trump humiliated ABC’s Terry Moran by revealing why he picked him for “the break of a lifetime” in getting to interview him on his 100th day in office. The commander in chief put the senior national correspondent in his place during a tense exchange in which Moran challenged him about suspected MS-13 tattoos on deported illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia. “Hey, they’re giving you the big break of a lifetime, you know you’re doing the interview,” Trump said. “I picked you because frankly, I never heard of you.

Newly unearthed court documents reveal that the ex-husband of a “U.S. citizen,” now married to a deported illegal immigrant linked to the notorious MS-13 gang, warned in 2018 that his children’s lives were at risk. Yet despite mounting evidence tying Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the brutal criminal network, Democrat lawmakers continue to fight for his return to the United States. According to a 2018 emergency custody petition first obtained by Fox 45 News, filed by Edwin Trejo Ramos in Prince George’s County Circuit Court, outlined disturbing allegations, including concerns over Jennifer Vasquez Sura’s unstable behavior, a suicide attempt, and her...

You have to laugh. Democrats made Kilmar Abrego Garcia into the cause of the moment just a couple of weeks ago, which liberal Member of Congress after Liberal Member of Congress making a pilgrimage down to El Salvador for the express purpose of doing media hits where they are seen as simply being there. Now, the whole thing is pretty much done. Democrats have moved on to new shiny objects in a desperate attempt to turn people against President Donald Trump. Abrego Garcia was always the wrong cause for Democrats to get behind. Two immigration judges had determined there was...

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has been talking quite a bit about "Maryland man," a deported illegal immigrant whose real name is Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. The Trump administration has provided evidence that Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13, with the release of documents last week coming the same day that Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador to visit Abrego Garcia. Van Hollen's focus becomes even more curious, given that back in 2017, during the first Trump administration, he was posting to his X account about concerns with MS-13 gang members. "Shame on President Trump for tearing apart hardworking...

Remember when Democrats thought they could manipulate public opinion by turning an alleged MS-13 gang member into their poster child for "wrongful deportation"? Well, that plan just crashed and burned spectacularly.AdvertisementThe left's desperate attempt to paint Kilmar Abrego Garcia as some innocent "Maryland man" wrongly expelled from our country has completely backfired. A new CBS News poll shows Americans aren't buying what the Democrats are selling. By a decisive 12-point margin (56%-44%), Americans support President Trump's aggressive deportation program. Most Americans think Mr. Trump's policies have reduced border crossings. Most also continue to approve of his deportation program in general.Meanwhile,...

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has ordered state agencies to review and potentially boycott business with El Salvador due to its role in detaining Kilmar Abrego Garcia. A statement from the Democrat indicates he believes this is a strong stance in support of due process for an alleged MS-13 member and suspected human trafficker. “The United States Constitution guarantees due process. We are witnessing Donald Trump erode our fundamental Constitutional rights in real time, and we must fight to restore the balance of power,” Pritzker said. “The State of Illinois will stand up for the Rule of Law and do everything...
