DHS Set to Ship MS-13 Suspect Abrego Garcia to Liberia—Because Apparently, One Botched Deportation Wasn't Enough for the Left's Sob Story

Oh, the humanity. Just when the Trump administration is cranking up the deportation machine to levels the open-borders crowd can't stand, here comes another chapter in the endless saga of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran illegal immigrant who's basically become the poster boy for why due process shouldn't mean a free pass for gangbangers.

According to a fresh Department of Homeland Security filing dropped Friday, Abrego Garcia could be on a one-way flight to Liberia, the West African nation, as early as Halloween. Why Liberia? Because they've cut a deal with the U.S., and apparently, it's the perfect spot to enforce that long-standing deportation order that's been gathering dust since 2019.

Remember, this guy's story is a total mess courtesy of bureaucratic bungling: He got shipped back to El Salvador in March by mistake, despite a 2019 protection ruling and a court order saying "nope, not there." It has turned into this epic showdown between Trump's zero-tolerance deportation blitz and the Democrats' endless parade of legal stalling tactics for future Democrats. And now, after he's somehow boomeranged back stateside, the feds are ready to try, try again.

The filing lays it out plain: Abrego Garcia's lawyers threw a Hail Mary pass, listing over 20 countries where he claims he'd face the big bad wolf, prosecution, torture, you name it.

"Liberia is a thriving democracy and one of the United States's closest partners on the African continent," the filing boasts. English is their official language, their constitution's got "robust protections for human rights," and they're all in on "the humane treatment of refugees." DHS even scored diplomatic assurances from the Liberians that no one's getting waterboarded on arrival. Sounds like a solid Plan B after the El Salvador clusterfrack.

But wait, there's whining! Abrego Garcia's legal dream team is crying foul, calling this whole thing "political retribution" and part of some "pattern of punitive deportation tactics. After failed attempts with Uganda, Eswatini, and Ghana, ICE now seeks to deport our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, to Liberia, a country with which he has no connection, thousands of miles from his family and home in Maryland," attorney Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg cried in a statement, via The Associated Press.

And get this gem: "Costa Rica stands ready to accept him as a refugee, a viable and lawful option," the lawyer added. "Yet the government has chosen a course calculated to inflict maximum hardship. These actions are punitive, cruel and unconstitutional."

Really? Coming from the folks who want to keep alleged MS-13 affiliates lounging in Maryland on the taxpayer dime? Spare us.

Enter the cavalry: Maryland's own Sen. Chris Van Hollen, the Democrat who's made Abrego Garcia his personal cause célèbre. This guy's been all in, flying down to El Salvador in April for a photo-op prison visit and leading the charge to spring him. On Friday, he unloaded on the filing like it was personal.

"The Trump Administration has been desperately shopping for faraway countries they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to in order to deny his constitutional due process right to defend himself against the charges they have brought," Van Hollen thundered in a statement.

He kept going: "Clearly, Trump’s cronies want to avoid answering for the claim that they are engaged in a vindictive prosecution against Abrego Garcia, after a federal judge concluded earlier this month that his prosecution ‘may stem from retaliation by the DOJ and DHS due to Abrego’s successful challenge of his unlawful deportation in Maryland.’ Kilmar must be allowed his day in court to fight for his rights," the woke senator said.

Look, facts are facts: Abrego Garcia snuck into the U.S. illegally back in 2011, got slapped with a deportation order in 2019, and two judges pegged him as likely MS-13 affiliated. Trump officials owned up to the deportation screw-up in court, but let's be real, some of the bigwigs are still saying he belongs in the gang category, error or not.

Former federal prosecutor Katie Cherkasky broke it down on 'Fox News Live,' chatting about Abrego Garcia's pending boot to Liberia, Trump's D.C. crime crackdown, and the rest of the circus. Smart money says this is Trump drawing a line in the sand: No more sanctuary for gang suspects, no matter how much the left clutches their pearls.

If Democrats like Van Hollen spent half this energy on actual American victims of MS-13 instead of jet-setting for sob stories, maybe we'd all be better off. Deport him, close the book, and let's get back to securing the border. October 31 can't come soon enough.
