Was it a trap? One might think so.
The Trump administration’s deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia has ignited a firestorm, seeming to give a boost–or at least an issue–for Donald Trump’s Democratic Party and Pravda Media adversaries.
The deportation ignited a firestorm, has inspired high-stakes legal battles, and lured luminaries in the Democratic Party to either make or promise to make pilgrimages to El Salvador to free an innocent man wrongly deported.
Or so they want us to believe. But the more one digs into the story the more it looks like Abrego Garcia really is a very bad guy, had no right to be in the United States, and that we are well rid of him. The only people who want him to come back to the United States are the same people who are horrified that Tren de Aragua gang-bangers aren’t being given ticker tape parades before Oprah hands them a new car.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife testified that he beat her while she was holding their baby: “the baby started to cry because he was putting pressure on him, my immediate reaction was to push him off us and then he punched.”
This is the guy Dems are going all out for right now https://t.co/KdlqooDRka

Abrego Garcia is a wife beater, an acknowledged member of MS 13 who apparently HAS been arrested, contrary to The Narrative, and when arrested, was hanging out with known MS 13 members. Informants linked him to the gang, and immigration judges ruled that he was likely an MS 13 member and human trafficker.
In 2022, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was detained in Tennessee on suspicion of human trafficking. The TN Highway Patrol was instructed to release him and the seven other people in the car by Biden’s FBI. Garcia was transporting them from Texas to Maryland. https://t.co/z3xFOPEk9a

The Tennessee Star learned on Wednesday that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged member of the Central American gang Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) who was deported to El Salvador under President Donald Trump amid legal action claiming the removal was by mistake, was suspected of being engaged in human trafficking by a Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) officer who detained him in December 2022, leading the THP to contact the FBI for guidance. Within two hours, the FBI ultimately requested the THP release Garcia and the passengers in his vehicle. THP complied with the request.
The Star learned from sources familiar with the incident that Abrego Garcia was stopped for an unknown reason on December 6, 2022, and that the THP officer responsible for the stop immediately discovered Abrego Garcia was transporting seven passengers, with eight individuals inside the vehicle.
During a nearly two-hour traffic stop, the THP officer determined that Abrego Garcia (pictured above) was operating the vehicle without a valid driver’s license and began searching for information about him.
One source told The Star that THP ultimately discovered Abrego Garcia was on a terrorist watch list, but could not locate Abrego Garcia on a deportation list. Another source told The Star that THP did not discover Abrego Garcia on a terrorist watch list but that another one of the seven passengers in the vehicle may have been on a terrorist watch list.
THP subsequently called the FBI, which was then led by former Director Christopher Wray under the Biden administration. The FBI instructed the THP officers at the scene to capture photographs of all eight people in the vehicle and document its contents.
Once the photographs were captured, this source told The Star that the FBI requested THP release all eight individuals and that the THP officers complied with this request.
No, he has been convicted of no crime, but as an illegal alien, he need not be to get deported. And he has an existing deportation order outstanding since 2019.

The only thing true about Abrego Garcia that Pravda and the Democrats have said about him is his name, assuming that it isn’t assumed.

For days we have been treated to stories about Abrego Garcia being an angel. A model citizen.
Well, not a citizen. Not even legally here. But you get the idea! He has distributed sperm to a fertile woman, so that means he should stay. As we know, criminals and gang bangers never impregnate women! He will be a father. He is an aspiring doctor/lawyer/engineer who will cure cancer, invent a perpetual motion machine, and open the world to the secret of how communism really can work!
Uh, yeah, right. Whatever. He beat his girlfriend–you know, the woman who is being trotted out to testify to his perfect character.
2021 petition for protection from domestic violence filled out by Abrego Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Vasquez, which was obtained first by DailyMail.com, states that the alleged MS-13 member beat his wife multiple times over the years.
In November 2020, Abrego Garcia hit Vasquez with his work boots, and in August 2020 he hit her in the eye, causing her to get a black eye, according to her petition.
That same day Abrego Garcia started driving quickly, scaring his wife, as their one-year-old was in the back seat. ‘In the recording you can hear him yelling, insulting me, driving extreme fast,’ Vasquez told authorities.
Later that day she left the residence they shared after being ‘afraid to be close to him,’ her request continued.
Then in May 2021, after an argument at a gas station, the Salvadorian migrant punched and scratched his wife, ‘leaving me bleeding,’ Vasquez wrote.
Model citizen. Or should I say, model gang banger.
Garcia was also arrested along with two MS 13 gang members, and officers investigated him and determined he, too, was a gang member.
Prince George’s County police determined Abrego Garcia was an active member of the cartel.
‘Officers contacted a past proven and reliable source of [information], who advised Kilmar Armando Abrego-Garcia is an active member of MS-13 with the Westerns clique,’ the PGPD wrote. ‘The confidential source further advised that he is the rank of ‘Chequeo’ with the moniker of ‘Chele.’
This is the guy the Democrats went to bat for. Every damn one of them. They believe that in the great culture war between Trump and an MS 13 member, the wife-beating gang banger should win.
“You have a Senator in Maryland (@ChrisVanHollen) who is supposed to serve his constituents, including Patty Morin… and instead, he is spending more time… flying to a foreign country in an attempt to bring back an illegal criminal alien, foreign terrorist… than he ever gave… https://t.co/tu4vAxcig0

What’s interesting to me about this affair is how long it took for the Trump people to do the data dump on Garcia. Presumably they could have dropped all the documents days ago, but they let the Democrats build up a head of steam and allowed all the Pravda folks go out on a limb defending Garcia.
The Trump administration never hid their accusations against Garcia. They laid it all out, but the Democrats chose to dispute them.
And now there are all these documents showing that the guy is a scumbag. No amount of “but he never had a trial proving all this beyond a reasonable doubt” BS is going to wash. He was never entitled to a trial. This is the deportation of an illegal immigrant gang member. There is no right to trial, and he already had a deportation order.
Did Trump set a trap, luring Democrats in? Did he dangle bait he knew they would take? The only more attractive “victim” to defend than an illegal immigrant gang banger is a trans “woman” who wants to ogle young girls in a locker room. Abrego Garcia’s case was irresistible to Democrats, so they rushed to his defense.
The documents are out now, and they are compelling. Wife beater. Gang banger. Yes, he was arrested. Yes, he had a deportation order. Yes, Homeland Security ID’ed him as MS 13 back in 2019.
Any sane person would want him out of the country. Unfortunately, “sane” and “Democrat” rarely show up in the same sentence anymore.
