Congressman Glenn Ivey (D-MD) departed Washington on Friday to visit deported MS-13 gangster Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador.
This follows Senator Chris Van Hollen’s (D-MD) visit to El Salvador last month, where he sipped margaritas with Abrego Garcia.
These lawmakers have shown more care for a deported illegal alien criminal from El Salvador than they ever did for Maryland citizen and mother of five Rachel Morin, who was viciously raped and murdered in 2023 by another Salvadoran illegal.
Democrats and their mainstream media friends glorified Abrego Garcia as a “Maryland father” and an “innocent” man who was “kidnapped” by the Trump Administration and El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele. However, they refuse to mention that he is actually an El Salvadoran illegal alien with ties to the violent MS-13 gang.
Additionally, Abrego Garcia’s wife, per court documents, filed for two different orders of protection against him: One in 2020 for assaulting and threatening to kill her and another in 2021, showing that he “punched and scratched” and “ripped off the shirt, grabbed, and bruised” her.
Most recently, Abrego Garcia was named by Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes—an already convicted human smuggler and repeat border violator–as an accomplice in human smuggling.
Rep. Ivey reportedly wants Abrego Garcia to come back to the United States, so he can have his day in court, despite assurances from the Trump Administration that he will only be deported again at the expense of taxpayers.
The Trump Administration has invoked the state secrets privilege to block the attempts to force the return MS-13 gang member and wife-beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States.
Per WBAL 11 News:
Ivey remains adamant that Abrego Garcia deserves his day in court.
“The court orders for him to come back so that he can have his day in court,” Ivey told WBAL News Radio. “We’re not afraid of him having his day in court. That’s what due process is all about. He needs to be brought back so he can have his day in court.”
Republican lawmakers have criticized the push to secure Abrego Garcia’s return to the U.S., pointing to protective orders his wife filed in 2020.
Ivey will be in El Salvador all weekend long and will return to Maryland on Tuesday.
This is a developing story.
