'Maryland Man' Kilmar Abrego Garcia, may be deported to Eswatini after snubbing Trump's deal

The border security circus just keeps getting wilder and yes, more entertaining. 

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the accused MS-13 gang member and El Salvador national, is now staring down deportation to the beautiful nation of Eswatini, a speck of a country in Southern Africa.  This is because he had the audacity to thumb his nose at a deal from the Trump administration. "You can’t make this stuff up," as the kids say.

This guy, a one-time Maryland resident accused of human smuggling, was already yo-yoed back to the U.S. after a brief stint in El Salvador earlier this year. On Friday, the Department of Homeland Security and ICE dropped the hammer via email, informing Garcia's camp of his impending one-way ticket to Eswatini, the teeny tiny jerkwater town where even the waterbuffalo refuse to roam.

Eswatini was chosen after Garcia, 30, handed ICE a laundry list of 22 countries he claims he can't live in due to "fear of persecution or torture." Uganda, Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, Brazil, and a boatload of other South American nations made the no-go list, per the removal notice obtained by Fox News. "Sounds like someone’s been workshopping their sob story," as any red-blooded skeptic might mutter.

Here’s the best part: Garcia could have taken a plea deal on his human smuggling charges and served time in Costa Rica, the land of beaches and piña coladas. Instead, he rolled the dice and lost. El Salvador was happy to lock him up in their notorious Terrorism Confinement Center on the ides of March, but thanks to a Supreme Court ruling, they cut him loose back to the U.S. in June. He landed in Tennessee's Putnam County Jail, only to be sprung on Aug. 22 under electronic surveillance and home confinement in Maryland. "Because nothing says 'tough on crime' like ankle bracelets and Netflix," quips the ghost of common sense.

DHS initially threatened to ship this alleged transnational criminal to Uganda, but now they've pivoted to Eswatini, a landlocked kingdom so obscure it sounds like a rejected Star Wars planet. Fox News got their hands on the ICE letter to Garcia's lawyers, and let's just say the guy is not exactly packing his bags with enthusiasm. He's still whining about "persecution or torture" in 22 countries. "Buddy, at this point, you’re just throwing darts at a map," I can hear the ICE agents chuckling.

The Trump administration has already sent five deportees to Eswatini's maximum-security slammer, and the legal challenges are piling up faster than a sovereign citizen's unpaid parking tickets. 

The Legal Aid Society is crying foul for one deportee, a Jamaican national who claims he was "inexplicably and illegally" sent to Eswatini despite his home country being ready to take him back. DHS, naturally, says that's a load of bull pucks.

Garcia and his lovely, allegedly abused wife

For those keeping score, Eswatini's the last absolute monarchy in Africa, ruled by King Mswati III, who's got 16 wives and a gaggle of kids. It's a pint-sized nation squeezed between South Africa and Mozambique, where 32% of the population lives below the poverty line, according to The World Bank. 

"Sounds like a real paradise for an MS-13 gangbanger," said no one ever.

So, here we are, watching another chapter in the deportation drama unfold. Will Garcia end up in Eswatini, or will his lawyers pull another rabbit out of the hat, or wherever their rabbits are pulled from?

Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s Back in the Ring, Swinging for Asylum and Ducking Uganda

Kilmar Abrego Garcia: a dad, a Minnesota Man, a basic scumcrumpet

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran guy who's been duking it out with Uncle Sam’s immigration machine, is throwing fresh punches. He's gunning for asylum in the U.S. again, while telling the feds to shove their plan to ship him off to Uganda. His counteroffer? Costa Rica, which has apparently rolled out the welcome mat.

Court papers dropped Tuesday say it all: "At 5pm yesterday, Petitioner filed a motion to reopen before an immigration judge pursuant to 8 C.F.R. §1003.23(b)(4)(i), to seek asylum in the United States pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §1158." Kilmar's not going down without a fight.

This all comes after ICE nabbed him Monday at one of their facilities. A video making the rounds on X, courtesy of the Department of Homeland Security, caught Kilmar spitting fire, yelling "gobierno corrupto" that's "corrupt government" for those not fluent in the language of shade.

In a filing called "Notice of Fear of Removal to UGANDA," Kilmar didn't hold back, [like when he beats his wife]: "I, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia … hereby state that I fear persecution in UGANDA on account of my race, nationality, political opinion, and membership in a particular social group." 

He's also sweating torture at the hands of Ugandan officials,  or worse, getting ping-ponged back to El Salvador, where he says he's already been through hell. Poor baby.

"I also fear torture by or at the acquiescence of a public official in that country. Finally, I feat [sic] that country will refoul me (re-deport me) to EL SALVADOR, where I also fear persecution on account of the above-mentioned protected grounds and torture by or at the acquiescence of a public official, and where I have been tortured in the past."

Costa Rica, though, that's his pick? They're down to take him, and Kilmar's all in for the Central American vibes over Uganda's uncertainty.

Rewind to earlier this year: Kilmar got the boot to El Salvador after a 2019 immigration judge ruling shot down his asylum bid but gave him a partial win with withholding of removal. Sadly, it didn't stick, though as the U.S. sent him packing. Fast-forward to some legal cage-fighting, and Florida's Attorney General Pam Bondi stepped into the spotlight, declaring Kilmar had "landed in the United States to face justice." Apparently, the U.S. waved an arrest warrant at El Salvador, and they handed him over.

What's he facing? A grand jury slapped him with an indictment earlier this year, charging him with "Conspiracy to Transport Aliens" and "Unlawful transportation of undocumented aliens." Kilmar’s response? A big, bold "not guilty," in spite of his human trafficking antics being seen on video.

Trump wants to deport 'Maryland Man' Abrego Garcia to Uganda

The Trump DOJ is throwing the book at Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gangbanger and illegal immigrant, calling him a "clear danger" who needs to be held accountable. And let me tell you, this guy's not exactly the poster child for the American Dream.

So, here's the deal: Garcia is facing some serious human smuggling charges, and the DOJ and Homeland Security are playing hardball. They allegedly told Garcia's legal team on Friday, "Look, your boy can take a plea deal, or we're shipping him off to Uganda." Not exactly a Carnival cruise destination. 

If he doesn't sign by Monday, ICE is ready to start the deportation process. But, if he plays ball, they might send him to Costa Rica instead. Pina coladas or a one-way ticket to nowhere; tough choice, huh?

Garcia's legal team is crying foul, screaming "coercion" louder than a college kid at a protest rally. But the DOJ isn't having it. They're like, "Coercion? Nah, we're just trying to keep this 'clear danger' away from law-abiding Americans." 

They dropped this gem: "A federal grand jury has charged Abrego Garcia with serious federal crimes … underscoring the clear danger this defendant presents to the community. This defendant can plead guilty and accept responsibility or stand trial before a jury. Either way, we will hold Abrego Garcia accountable and protect the American people." The DOJ’s keeping it coy, though, neither confirming nor denying the Uganda threat. Classic government move, keep 'em guessing.

Now, here's where it gets juicy. The Left tried to spin Garcia as some kind of martyr, a poor "Maryland man" wrongfully deported to El Salvador, where he's supposedly dodging gang threats. Democrat politicians and the legacy media were all in, painting him as a family guy who just got caught in Trump's big, bad deportation machine. But lets not kid ourselves, Garcia's not exactly Mr. Rogers. We're talking alleged MS-13 ties, accusations of sexual misconduct with young girls, and running an illegal alien smuggling ring. He even allegedly hit his wife or baby momma or whatever her pronouns are. 

The DOJ's case hinges on a traffic stop in Putnam County, Tennessee, back on November 30, 2022. Our pal Garcia was cruising in a Chevrolet Suburban with nine other people packed in like sardines. One of them, a 15-year-old kid, wrote his age down for the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Daily Wire's Leif Le Mahieu was in the courthouse breaking this down. Homeland Security's Peter Joseph dropped a bombshell: that kid is still missing. "We don’t know right now" if he's okay, Joseph said. Six of the nine in that Suburban were confirmed illegal aliens from places like Mexico, El Salvador, and Honduras. This isn't a road trip to Disneyland, folks.

And get this, Garcia was released from jail on Friday and sent back to Maryland to await trial. If he's found guilty, he's staring down 10 years in the slammer and a $250,000 fine for conspiracy to transport aliens, plus another potential 10 years for each illegal he smuggled. That's a lot of time to think about his life choices.

So, there you have it: the Left tried to make this guy a saint, but the facts paint a different picture. Another day, another dollar, another story the mainstream media won’t touch with a ten-foot pole. Change my mind.

Abrego Garcia, aka 'Maryland Man' was member of Biden-backed group calling for abolishing ICE

Well, isn’t this a plot twist? Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the so-called “Maryland man” lionized by Democrats, turns out to be a suspected MS-13 gang member and human smuggler. Oh, and he was a card-carrying member of CASA, a far-left group that’s been cashing Biden administration checks while loudly demanding ICE be sent to the scrap heap. Awkward.

CASA, a leftwing outfit that lobbies for illegal aliens, isn’t shy about its radical agenda. They call ICE a "rogue agency" that’s "caused immense harm to our communities." Their self-serving mission is to abolish ICE, block local cops from working with federal immigration enforcement, and shield folks like Abrego Garcia from deportation. 

And the Biden administration? They’ve been happy to funnel over $5 million to CASA since 2022, including a cool $250,000 from DHS for "innovations in citizenship preparation." Because nothing screams "citizenship prep" like defending a suspected MS-13 smuggler, right?

"CASA is outraged that ICE deported CASA member Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia in violation of a court order and at grave personal danger," the group huffed in a statement. 

They’ve doubled down, falsely claiming "the Trump administration disappeared Kilmar Abrego Garcia." Funny, last I checked, Trump hasn’t been in office for years. But facts aren’t exactly CASA’s strong suit. They admitted Abrego Garcia was one of their own in an April statement, and they’ve stayed in the fight, with CASA reps cozying up to his punching bag wife at a recent Nashville press conference.

CASA’s got a slick operation with offices across the mid-Atlantic, including Maryland, where Abrego Garcia called home before ICE sent him back to El Salvador. They offer membership tiers with perks like legal defense against deportation, vocational training, and citizenship application help, all for a monthly or annual fee. We don’t know which tier Abrego Garcia signed up for or what services he tapped, but it’s safe to say he wasn’t just there for the free coffee.

And it’s not just about services. CASA’s pushing a hard-left agenda, including Maryland legislation to stop local law enforcement from sharing information with ICE, making it harder for feds to track down illegal aliens. Their sister group, CASA in Action, brags about "mobilizing Black, Latine, Afro-descendent, Indigenous, and Immigrant voters" to elect "progressive change leaders."

Meanwhile, Abrego Garcia is back in the U.S. to face human smuggling charges, but don’t get too comfortable, he’s likely headed for deportation again, this time to a "third country" rather than El Salvador. Maybe CASA can send him a care package.

So, let’s recap: the Biden administration bankrolls a group that calls for abolishing ICE, and that same group proudly claims a suspected MS-13 smuggler as a member. Anyone else see the irony here, or is it just me?

Feds to Ship MS-13 Thug Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Some "Third Country" Nobody’s Named Yet

So, the feds have a plan for "the Maryland man" Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal alien and highly suspected MS-13 human trafficker who’s been cooling his heels in a Tennessee jail. 

They’re not sending him back to El Salvador, his home base, that’s too straightforward. Instead, they’re shipping him off to some mysterious “third country” that’s apparently willing to take him. Why? Because a 2019 court order says he can’t go back to El Salvador. Gotta love the legal gymnastics.

This guy, who Democrat politicians laughably call a “Maryland man,” depicting him as a dad and a regular guy, despite his illegal status, already got the boot to El Salvador once before. But, surprise, he’s back in the U.S. to face federal human trafficking charges. 

Prosecutors say he’s been smuggling minors and MS-13 goons across the country like it’s his day job.

 
Now, a judge in the case decided Abrego Garcia should be released while awaiting trial, even though everyone and their dog knows ICE is itching to scoop him up the second he puts a toe out the door. On Thursday, it was confirmed: he’s getting nabbed by ICE the moment he’s cut loose. “Our plan is that he will be taken into ICE custody and removal proceedings will be initiated,” said Jonathan Guynn, deputy assistant attorney general at the DOJ’s civil division. Guynn also dropped that Abrego Garcia’s headed to a “third country,” not El Salvador. Where exactly? Nobody’s saying yet, but I'm hoping for Gaza.

The Trump administration just scored a big win at the Supreme Court, clearing the way for this deportation shuffle. The ruling says the government can send illegal aliens to any “third country” that’ll take them, no need to ship them back to their homeland. This could open the floodgates for thousands of deportations, including Abrego Garcia’s second trip out of the U.S.

 
Where’s this Salvadoran national going? We simply don't know yet. The Trump administration has done this before with Vietnamese and Cuban nationals. The got one-way tickets to South Sudan. 

DHS isn’t messing around, either. They’re adamant Abrego Garcia won’t be walking scot-free from deportation.

Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin put it bluntly: “Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a dangerous criminal illegal alien,” who “will never go free on American soil.” But when it comes to the details of where he’s going? Crickets. “Due to operational security, ICE does not confirm future removal operations until they have landed in respective countries,” a DHS spokesman said. So, we wait.

Maryland dad back in US to face trafficking charges of thousands including MS-13 club members

The Maryland dad, adoring husband, and member of the MS-13 men's club, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is back in the USA from El Salvador. The young gentleman is facing human trafficking charges, a "full-time job" that he allegedly held for almost then years, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi.

“He was a smuggler of humans and children and women,” Bondi said at a press conference announcing the federal charges. “One hundred trips, the grand jury found, of smuggling people throughout our country.”

On May 21, a federal grand jury indictment was issued in Tennessee, charging Mr. Garcia with participating in a conspiracy lasting years, to help illegal aliens travel from the Texas border to other states. Some of those people are alleged to be members of the MS-13 men's club.

The scheme in which Abrego Garcia allegedly took part spanned nearly a decade and transported thousands of illegal migrants from Mexico and Central America, including members of the Salvadoran club MS-13.

Mr. Garcia is also has a legal history of domestic abuse.

Sensitive Maryland Dad suspected of "getting paid" to traffic fellow illegal aliens, body cam suggests

Maryland dad chats about poetry and music with Chris Van Hollen

In a bombshell revelation, body camera footage from a 2022 Tennessee Highway Patrol stop exposes Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien with MS-13 ties, as a likely human trafficker. The Trump administration deported Garcia to a Salvadoran prison, but the saga of this so-called “Maryland man” [he's also a 'dad'] just keeps unraveling like a sari in a twister.

Tennessee officers pulled Garcia over, suspecting he was smuggling people into the country. Driving a car crammed with eight other illegal aliens like himself, Garcia flashed an invalid Maryland license while his passengers had none, nada, zip. 

“He’s getting paid to haul these people, probably to Maryland, I would say,” one officer noted, pointing out the vehicle’s extra row of seats. 

Another officer warned, “Sometimes they come in with dope.” Garcia’s story flipped faster than a politician’s promises—first claiming he was headed to St. Louis for construction work, then admitting he was Maryland-bound but would return to Missouri. 

Oh, and the car? Allegedly his boss’s, straight out of Houston.

The officers, sharp as tacks, sat Garcia in their patrol car—no cuffs, mind you—and called the FBI and ICE. But in Biden’s America, ICE ghosted them, and the FBI advised against detention, despite the glaring red flags of trafficking. Fast-forward, and Garcia’s now rotting in El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, a mega-prison for MS-13 and Barrio 18 thugs. 

Democrats, ever the faux bleeding hearts, jetted to Central America, begging for his return. Good luck with that.

"A hundred bottles of cervesa on the wall . . . "

Court documents paint an even uglier picture. Garcia allegedly bragged he could murder his wife and skate free. “Me and my kids are afraid now. He kicked me, pushed me, slapped me in the face and threatened me,” his wife said, claiming she’s got a recording of him boasting to her ex-mother-in-law: “even if he kills me no one can do anything to him.” Charming guy, only a Democrat could love.

The Supreme Court, in its infinite wisdom, ruled Trump’s team must “facilitate” Garcia’s return. But Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, meeting at the Oval Office last month, laughed off the idea. “The question is preposterous, how can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?” 

Checkmate.

This is what happens when borders are sieves and enforcement’s a suggestion. Garcia’s not just a deportee—he’s a walking case study in why the system’s broken.

Deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia was pulled over by cops and oh boy!

You simply cannot make this stuff up. Democrats are out here clutching pearls, demanding the Trump administration drag Kilmar Abrego Garcia—the 29-year-old illegal alien who was deported back to El Salvador—be returned to the U.S. like he’s some kind of misunderstood saint. 

Meanwhile, the guy’s rap sheet reads like a crime novel, and now we’ve got DHS sources spilling the beans to Fox News Digital: Abrego Garcia was caught driving a car tied to a confessed human smuggler. Yeah, you heard that right--the car he was driving is tied to a human smuggler.

Documents first reported by Just the News, now confirmed by multiple DHS sources, show Abrego Garcia was pulled over in a black 2001 Chevrolet Suburban belonging to Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes—an illegal alien who copped to human smuggling across the U.S.-Mexico border back in 2020. 

This isn’t some random joyride. The SUV was flagged by Homeland Security Investigations’ Baltimore field office as a vehicle “used by HSI Baltimore target in human smuggling/trafficking operation.” They even said it “makes trips to southern border to pick up non-citizens.” 

Rewind to December 1, 2022. 

A Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper clocked Abrego Garcia speeding and swerving like he’s auditioning for a Fast & Furious sequel. The trooper pulled him over and found eight people crammed in the Suburban. 

Abrego Garcia spins a yarn about driving from Houston to Temple Hills, Maryland, via St. Louis, for “construction work.” No luggage, though. Not a single duffel bag, not even a toothbrush. 

The trooper’s spidey senses go off, suspecting human trafficking. Everyone in the car gives the same address as Abrego Garcia’s home base. Sketchy? 

Here’s where it gets dumber. Abrego Garcia, playing the “no hablo inglés” card, “pretended to speak less English than he was capable of and attempted to put encountering officer off-track by responding to questions with questions.” Smooth move, genius. The trooper, maybe feeling generous, lets him off with a warning for driving with an expired license. No citation. Just a “try not to do that again, pal.”

But it’s not just bad driving and shady road trips. Abrego Garcia has a history. 

Police and court records shared with Fox News Digital show he was arrested in Hyattsville, Maryland, in October 2019. The Prince George’s County Police Gang Unit pegged him as a card-carrying member of MS-13—yep, that Mara Salvatrucha, the gang that makes nightmares look like bedtime fairytales.

A Baltimore federal immigration court wasn’t buying his innocent act either. They ruled he “failed to meet his burden of demonstrating that his release from custody would not pose a danger to others,” citing evidence that he’s a “verified member of MS-13.” The court noted a “past, proven, and reliable source of infonnation [sic]” confirmed his gang membership, rank, and even his gang name. Abrego Garcia? Couldn’t rebut a word of it.

Oh, and it gets worse. 

Court records involving his wife, Jennifer Vasquez, paint him as a “violent” repeat wife-beater. Fox News got hold of Vasquez’s handwritten domestic violence allegations from 2021, and it’s grim. She wrote, “At this point, I am afraid to be close to him. I have multiple photos/videos of how violent he can be and all the bruises he [has] left me.” 

She described him punching and scratching her eye until she bled, throwing her laptop on the floor, ripping her shirt and shorts off, and grabbing her arm hard enough to leave marks. Vasquez also recalled two incidents in 2020: “In November 2020, he hit me with his work boot. In August 2020, he hit me in the eye leaving a purple eye.” A real prince of a guy.

Then there’s Edwin Ramos, who claimed to be the father of two of Vasquez’s kids. He filed for custody, saying he was worried about the kids’ safety because Vasquez “is dating a gang member.” That’s not exactly a glowing character reference.

So, let’s recap: We’ve got an MS-13 gangster, a human smuggler’s ride, a human trafficking red flag, and a trail of domestic violence allegations. Yet some folks are out here crying for this guy to get a one-way ticket back to the States. You’ve gotta wonder what it takes to lose the sympathy vote, but then again, the same lefties who want Abrego Garcia returned to the US, are the same mouth-breathers who side with Hamas.

Van Hollen moonwalks backwards as his El Salvador showboating backfires

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) stepped in a steaming pile, big time, and now he’s scrambling to wipe the mess off his shoes after his El Salvador stunt went full dumpster fire. The guy who thought he’d play hero by “rescuing” a deported MS-13 thug is now moon-dancing away from the wreckage of his own making, and it’s a glorious train-wreck to behold.

When Van Hollen touched down in San Salvador, he was strutting like a peacock, ready to flex his virtue for the X crowd. “I just landed in San Salvador,” he crowed on April 16, 2025, acting like he was about to save some innocent soul named Kilmar Abrego Garcia from “illegal abduction.” Check the receipts:

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home. pic.twitter.com/MzKe7U8Wwr— Senator Chris Van Hollen (@ChrisVanHollen) April 16, 2025

Two days later, he’s still milking the photo-op, gushing about his heart-to-heart with Kilmar like it’s some Hallmark moment that's reminiscent of Tampon Tim waving on stage. “I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love,” he posted on April 18, 2025. 

Cue the violins and pass the barf bags.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return. pic.twitter.com/U9y2gZpxCb— Senator Chris Van Hollen (@ChrisVanHollen) April 18, 2025

But oh, how the mighty have fallen. 

Turns out, Kilmar isn’t some wrongfully deported saint—he’s an MS-13 gangbanger with a rap sheet that includes human trafficking and domestic abuse, according to the Trump administration’s receipts. Van Hollen’s grand plan to dunk on Trump’s immigration policies? Yeah, it backfired so hard it’s practically a self-inflicted knockout.

Now, instead of owning the "L", Van Hollen’s out here spinning a conspiracy yarn so wild it could headline a Reddit thread. At a frantic press conference, he tried to dodge the fallout with a story about—get this—“Margaritagate.” No, really. He claims the whole thing was a setup by El Salvador’s President Bukele to make him look like a fool, as if he couldn't accomplish that without help.

Here’s the senator in full damage-control mode:

“I just want to take a moment—I hadn’t planned to do this,” Van Hollen said during a hastily arranged press availability. “But as I was landing on the airplane, I got a transcript of some questions President Trump was asked at the White House today about what I would call ‘Margaritagate.’ I don’t know if you guys have been following this…”

He’s got the nerve to claim the viral photo of him and Kilmar with what looked like margaritas was a Salvadoran government sting operation. “When I first sat down with Kilmar, we just had glasses of water on the table, I think maybe some coffee,” he whined. “And as we were talking, one of the government people came over and deposited two other glasses on the table with ice and I don’t know if it was salt or sugar around the top. But they looked like margaritas.”

Spoken like a politician caught by a traffic cop for a DUI stop.

But no, he’s not done yet. He’s out here playing CSI: San Salvador, analyzing the glass rims like he’s cracking the Da Vinci Code. “If you look at the one they put in front of Kilmar, it actually had a little less liquid than the one in front of me, to try to make it look, I assume, like he drank out of it,” he said. “Let me just be very clear. Neither of us touched the drinks that were in front of us.”  

“If you look at the video or the picture I sent out from the beginning of our meeting, you’ll see there are no glasses on the table,” he said. “So you’ll see in later videos, they are on the table, but they made a little mistake… If you sip out of one of those glasses, some of whatever it was—salt or sugar—would disappear. You would see a gap. There’s no gap. Nobody drank any margaritas or sugar water or whatever it is.”

By the time he’s done, he’s pointing fingers at both Presidents Bukele and Trump, accusing them of orchestrating this whole debacle to humiliate him. He doesn't realize that he just isn't that important.

“This is a lesson into the lengths that President Bukele will go to deceive people about what’s going on,” he fumed. “And it also shows the lengths that the Trump administration and the president will go to, because when he was asked by a reporter about this, he just went along for the ride.”

This isn’t just a far-left politician eating grasshoppers in hopes to run for President in a few years—it’s a five-star Michelin meltdown. 

Van Hollen’s team is in overdrive, trying to memory-hole his “humanitarian” crusade now that Kilmar’s MS-13 ties are out in the open. This tiny oversight by Van Hollen's team may qualify them for another gang: IQ-13.

What started as a smug attempt to shame Trump has turned into a diplomatic clown show, with Van Hollen as the ringmaster. Next time, maybe check the guy’s rap sheet before you book the flight, Senator. He makes George Floyd look like a boy scout.

Van Hollen's trip to El Salvador might be illegal: libs used it as pretext for Michael Flynn probe

Van Hollen schmoozes with MS-13 wife-beating gang mamber: allegedly

Senator Chris Van Hollen, (D-MD), decided to play cowboy diplomat, jetting off to El Salvador to spring a deportee named Kilmar Abrego Garcia. 

This isn’t just a bad look—it’s potentially illegal. 

Enter the Logan Act of 1799, a law that says, in no uncertain terms, you don’t get to freelance America’s foreign policy. The statute? Clear as day: any American who corresponds with foreign officials “with intent to influence the[ir] measures … in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States” faces fines or jail time.

Now, let’s rewind to the namesake of this act, George Logan, a Pennsylvania senator who thought he could charm French diplomat Charles de Talleyrand into ending the Quasi War after Paris gave President John Adams the cold shoulder. Logan even had a letter from Vice President Thomas Jefferson in his pocket, trying to sweet-talk the French. Sound familiar? It should, because conservatives are now asking if Van Hollen’s little Salvadoran adventure crosses the same line.

Roger Stone, never one to mince words, took to X and dropped a bombshell: “Why hasn’t this U.S. senator been arrested for violation of the Logan Act? It’s illegal to conduct your own foreign policy.” 

Boom. 

WMAL’s Vince Coglianese went further, reading the Logan Act on air and posing the million-dollar question to his listeners: “Is Chris Van Hollen violating the Logan Act?” He pointed out the hypocrisy, noting, “Because this is what they accused General [Michael] Flynn of doing … the incoming national security advisor … who was merely having conversations with foreign diplomats [after] people had chosen President Donald Trump.” 

The left clutched their pearls when Flynn chatted with Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak before Trump’s first inauguration, screaming “Logan Act!” until it sparked an FBI probe that torpedoed Flynn’s career. Notes from FBI agent Peter Strzok literally read, “VP: Logan Act,” hinting Joe Biden himself pushed the idea, while Jim Comey shrugged that Flynn’s talks seemed “legit.” Double standards, anyone?

Fox News contributor Byron York, always a voice of reason, chimed in on X, admitting he’s long called the Logan Act a “dead letter.” But here’s the kicker: “But politically, it’s useful to know that Sen. Van Hollen traveled to a foreign country to bash the President of the United States.” Ouch. The American Accountability Foundation isn’t letting this slide either. They fired off a letter to Senate Ethics Committee Chairman James Lankford, (R-OK), demanding a probe. AAF’s Thomas Jones didn’t hold back, calling Garcia “essentially an enemy combatant in the ongoing invasion … by transnational gangs.” That’s not hyperbole; that’s the border crisis the left pretends doesn’t exist.

The Logan Act’s been weaponized before. Trump’s critics screeched about it when Bob Woodward’s book claimed the former president had calls with Vladimir Putin between White House stints. The Lincoln Project and Kamala Harris piled on, naturally. FBI notes from the Flynn saga even show agents debating whether to trick him into admitting a Logan Act violation: “What is our goal?” ex-FBI counterintelligence chief Bill Priestap wrote. “Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?” Charming.

This isn’t new. Ronald Reagan floated using the Logan Act against Jesse Jackson for his Cuba and Nicaragua jaunts in the ‘80s. Trump called out John Kerry and Christopher Murphy for their Iran contacts in 2019 and 2020. Murphy’s response? “It’s literally my job to meet with foreign leaders,” he said, hiding behind his Senate subcommittee role. 

Cute. Yet, here’s the rub: no one’s ever been convicted under the Logan Act. George Logan himself got a pass, grandfathered out. Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, (R-PA), tried to repeal this relic, but no dice.

So, what’s the deal? Van Hollen’s stunt reeks of hypocrisy, undermining U.S. policy while the left stays silent. The Logan Act may be a dusty law, but it exposes the left’s selective outrage. If Flynn was fair game, why not Van Hollen? The answer, folks, is politics. Pure, unadulterated politics.

Latest on Chris Van Hollen's trip to El Salvador

In my previous post I wrote about Sen. Chris Van Hollen's (D-MD) trip he took to El Salvador in order to see Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an MS-13 gangbanger who was also an illegal alien and was deported to his native El Salvador along with fellow scumcrumpets who are a blight on the USA. 

President Trump had a mandate to deport dangerous illegal aliens as part of his campaign pledge, and he has done so, but Van Hollen obviously saw this as an opportunity to virtue-signal and fly to El Salvador on taxpayer's money, and make a show of seeing Abrego Garcia.

But wait! The El Salvador government said no to the senator's request Wednesday to see Abrego Garcia and they have the right to do this.

Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador allegedly to “check on [Abrego Garcia’s] condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.”  Yes, the Democrat senator is going to fight for the MS-13 guy because Democrats will stand behind guys like him, and others who shoot healthcare CEOs in the back, and universities that support pro-Hamas students who keep Jewish students from attending classes, and have even committed violence on them.

The leftist senator said he spoke to Salvadoran Vice President Félix Ulloa and asked why the government is holding Abrego Garcia in a high-security prison for terrorists, Axios reported.

“His answer was that the Trump administration is paying El Salvador, the government of El Salvador to keep him,” Van Hollen said. 

It seems to be fair that we help El Salvador deal with our problem with dangerous people, and based on the dangers they pose on our society, it's actually cost-effective.

Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary, spoke about this issue today, Wednesday, and made it clear that Abrego Garcia is an illegal alien, not simply "a Maryland father," as the Left and the media likes to depict him. 

He [Abrego Garcia] is "an MS-13 gang member and foreign terrorist," and when he was first caught, he was wearing a sweatshirt and had on him rolls of money with the eyes, ear, and mouth of the president on the bills covered, symbolizing: "see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil." She pointed out that Democrats still refuse to accept the will of the American people.

Ms. Leavitt also revealed that Abrego Garcia's wife petitioned for two orders of protection against him, court documents revealed. This occurred in May 2021, where he punched her, ripped off her shirt, and bruised her, in one instance.

Van Hollen said that Ulloa told him that he must make earlier arrangements to visit Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo, or CECOT, as the prison is called. When Van Hollen asked if he could speak to Abrego Garcia over the phone, Ulloa said that a phone call must be arranged through the American embassy.

Van Hollen was blasted by the Trump administration for his trip to El Salvador on the taxpayer dime. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz wrote on X, “Democrats miss Biden’s open borders so much they are flying to El Salvador to personally try and bring violent criminals to the United States.”

Tom Homan 'disgusted' by theshowboating Dem Senator's trip to bring home alleged MS-13 gangbanger

Border czar Tom Homan came out swinging Wednesday, unloading on Democrats while Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen jetted off to El Salvador, desperate to drag back suspected MS-13 thug Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Van Hollen’s crying foul, claiming the guy was “wrongfully abducted” from the U.S. Homan? He’s not buying that sob story for a second.

“He wasn’t abducted. He’s an MS-13 gang member, classified as a terrorist that was removed from this country, so we got rid of a dangerous person,” Homan told Fox & Friends, probably while sipping coffee strong enough to wake a coma patient. “An El Salvadoran national was returned to the country of El Salvador, so he’s home.”

Homan’s doubling down, channeling the Trump crew’s line that Abrego Garcia’s a “public safety threat.” His deportation? “Exactly what should have happened,” Homan says, ready to throw hands with anyone trying to sneak this guy back into the States.

But what’s got Homan’s blood boiling is Van Hollen playing superhero for an MS-13 suspect while illegal immigrant crime festers back home—yep, even in Maryland. “I’m disgusted,” Homan fumed, pointing to the murder of Rachel Morin. “Listen to the testimony and listen to the mother on ‘Hannity’ last night. If you’re not human... your heart wasn’t broken. It [happened] in his state, but rather than taking care of the constituents in his state, the victims of illegal crime in his state, he’s going to run to El Salvador to protect MS-13 terrorists.”

This drama’s heating up after President Trump’s Oval Office powwow with El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele, and Van Hollen’s begging for his own face-to-face with the Salvadoran prez to spring Abrego Garcia. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court’s stirring the pot, upholding an order last week that’s got the government scrambling to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s release from El Salvador’s clutches and treat his case like he never left. Good luck with that.

Democrats and Abrego Garcia’s lawyer are pushing back, swearing up and down he’s not tied to the gang. But Trump’s team and Bukele? They’re on the same page, saying there’s no way this guy’s waltzing back into the U.S. Bukele put it bluntly: “How can I smuggle a terrorist into the U.S.? I don’t have the power to return him to the United States.” Translation: Nice try, but no dice.
