DEMOCRATS FOOLISH TRIP TO EL SALVADOR
WANTING TO BE SEEN AS HEROS, FOOLISH DEMOCRATS WASTED THOUSANDS DEFENDING AN MS-13 GANG MEMBER
Democratic Politicians’ Misguided Crusade for MS-13 Gang Member Kilmar Abrego Garcia
BY SNN.BZ STAFF
In a stunning display of political misjudgment, several Democratic lawmakers have found themselves entangled in a scandal of their own making, having championed the cause of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national and confirmed MS-13 gang member.
KILMAR ARMANDO ABREGO GARCIA TRANSPORTING ILLEGALS INTO THE USA. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ORDERED TENNESSEE POLICE TO LET HIM BE ON HIS WAY
AUDIO OF WIFE (JENNIFER STEFANIA VASQUEZ SURA) SAYING SHE ALWAYS LIES FOR HIM
The foolish American politicians embarrassingly fight to protect this criminal. They are further fueled by taxpayer dollars, to secure his return to the United States after his deportation to El Salvador has backfired spectacularly, exposing their naivety and raising questions about their priorities.
Far from apologizing for their error or acknowledging the victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens, these politicians have doubled down, leaving a trail of embarrassment and public outrage.
The politicians that flew to El Salvador to advocate for the criminal originally, have already realized that the evidence against Abrego-Garcia is extensive and looking quite crest fallen, have returned to the United States.
Maxine Dexter however, was the last to leave El Salvador. Until the last minute at the airport, she was still demanding that Abrego-Garcia be remanded to her custody (as though she has the authority to make this ridiculous request). That’s how far this naive politician has taken the matter.
The Rise of a Gang Member
Kilmar Abrego Garcia was born and raised in El Salvador, a country plagued by gang violence. Court documents and law enforcement reports confirm that he became involved with MS-13, a notorious transnational criminal organization responsible for countless acts of violence, including murders, extortion, and human trafficking.
Seeking to distance him from this dangerous lifestyle, his family sent him to Guatemala for a time. However, Abrego Garcia’s criminal affiliations persisted, and he eventually made his way to the United States illegally, settling in Maryland. Despite claims from his supporters that he was a law-abiding family man, evidence presented by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) paints a different picture: a man with a history of gang activity, documented abuse, and questionable associations.
In 2019, Abrego Garcia was detained by immigration authorities after being questioned outside a Home Depot in Maryland. Although he was granted a “withholding of removal” status due to fears of gang persecution in El Salvador, this protection was based on his own claims, not a clean record. DHS documents later revealed encounters with law enforcement, including allegations of domestic violence and connections to MS-13’s Westerns clique, though no formal convictions were secured at the time. His tattoos, clothing, and associations further fueled suspicions of gang membership, with a police informant identifying him as an active MS-13 member.
The Deportation “Error”
On March 15, 2025, Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador, landing in the notorious Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT), a maximum-security prison designed for gang members and terrorists. The Trump administration initially labeled the deportation an “administrative error,” citing a failure to note his protected status on a flight manifest. However, as details emerged, the administration shifted its stance, asserting that Abrego Garcia’s MS-13 ties justified his removal, error or not. The Justice Department and Attorney General Pam Bondi later released documents reinforcing these claims, pointing to his gang affiliations and a history of violence, including a protective order filed by his wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, after alleged abuse.
Democratic Politicians’ Costly Misstep
Seizing on the “administrative error” narrative, Democratic lawmakers, including Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland and Representatives Robert Garcia, Maxine Dexter, Maxwell Frost, and Yassamin Ansari, launched a high-profile campaign to secure Abrego Garcia’s release and return to the U.S. Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador, meeting with Abrego Garcia and publicly decrying his detention as an “illegal abduction.” Four House Democrats followed suit, making an unsanctioned trip to San Salvador to demand his release, funded by taxpayer money, after House Republicans denied an official congressional delegation. These lawmakers framed Abrego Garcia as a victim of Trump’s immigration policies, ignoring or downplaying evidence of his gang ties and relying on his family’s denials.
Their efforts were bolstered by a Supreme Court ruling ordering the Trump administration to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return, citing the violation of his protective order. Yet, as the administration released more evidence—including photos of Abrego Garcia’s tattoos, which President Trump claimed indicated MS-13 membership—the narrative began to crumble. Gang experts noted that while tattoos alone aren’t conclusive, other indicators, such as police reports and informant testimony, strongly suggested Abrego Garcia’s involvement. El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, a vocal critic of MS-13, refused to release him, further complicating the Democrats’ crusade.
The Fallout: A Public Relations Disaster
The revelation of Abrego Garcia’s MS-13 ties has left these Democratic politicians scrambling to salvage their credibility. Their use of taxpayer funds to advocate for a gang member has drawn sharp criticism from constituents and conservative commentators alike, who argue that the money could have been better spent addressing the needs of law-abiding citizens or supporting victims of gang violence. Posts on X have been scathing, with users calling the lawmakers’ actions “a betrayal of public trust” and accusing them of prioritizing political grandstanding over public safety.
Perhaps most damning is the silence from these politicians regarding the victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens. The parents of young girls killed by gang-affiliated individuals—cases often highlighted in immigration debates—have received no condolences, apologies, or acknowledgment from the lawmakers who so eagerly defended Abrego Garcia. This omission has fueled accusations of hypocrisy, as critics point out the stark contrast between their vocal advocacy for a criminal and their indifference to grieving American families.
A Lesson in Due Diligence
The Abrego Garcia debacle serves as a cautionary tale for politicians tempted to rush to judgment without fully vetting the facts. By ignoring or dismissing evidence of his gang affiliations, these Democratic lawmakers have not only wasted taxpayer resources but also undermined their own credibility. Their refusal to apologize or address the broader implications of their actions—particularly the pain of victims’ families—only deepens the perception that their priorities are misaligned with those of the public they serve.
As the dust settles, the question remains: will these politicians learn from their mistake, or will they continue to pursue politically expedient causes at the expense of accountability? For now, their misguided crusade stands as a stark reminder of the consequences of championing a narrative without scrutinizing the truth.
