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?

DACA pair arrested for human smuggling

San Diego -- Two DACA dudes, one who's under the Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals program and the other whose DACA protection expired, were busted on suspicion of human smuggling in two separate incidents last week.

The program gave illegal immigrants who were brought here as children 2-year renewable permits protecting them from deportation and allowing them to take jobs away from Americans.

The thinking about these DACA recipients is that they're not responsible for the behavior of their parent(s). It's analogous to the idea that if your parent steals a computer from someone and gets caught and is sent to jail, his child gets to keep the computer.

President Trump announced in September the program would end in March 2018. 

The first arrest occurred on Wednesday near Torrey Pines State Beach after border agents were sent there after a resident spotted what appeared to be a smuggling incident, federal officials said.

After further investigation, agents spotted a vehicle suspected of being involved and pulled it over on Interstate 5, near Dairy Mart Road around 12:00 noon.

Officers found three men inside: the driver, a 20-year-old DACA recipient whose status had expired, and two Mexican nationals, ages 21 and 22, suspected of being in the country illegally.

The driver and his cousin, the 22-year-old passenger, told federal agents they had been involved in human smuggling in the area. The driver, who may not have been aware that Barack Obama is no longer the President, was taken into federal custody.

The second incident occurred on Thursday around 8 a.m. Two folks were arrested by Border Patrol agents in East County on suspicion they were in the US illegally when the agents saw two suspicious vehicles on Buckman Springs Road in Campo.

The agents followed one of the vehicles, a blue Honda sedan, and stopped it at a checkpoint where they conducted an immigration inspection.

The drive, a 22-year-old Mexican national who lived in Riverside County as a DACA recipient, eventually admitted to agents that he and another driver were scouting the area to help a group of smugglers, federal officials said.

This man also committed other acts of human smuggling and is currently in the custody of the Department of Homeland Security and awaiting removal proceedings.

Agents later arrested another man, a 25-year-old US citizen, who is also suspected to be part of the smuggling scheme.
