Excerpt:

A federal grand jury in Nashville has issued a searing criminal indictment of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the El Salvadoran in the U.S. illegally whom Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., referred to as “his constituent” and a “Maryland father.”

Garcia may be a Maryland constituent, but he won’t win any Father of the Year awards, according to the indictment. He is accused of being involved for almost a decade in organized human trafficking and arms and narcotics smuggling. This is the person whom Van Hollen went all the way to El Salvador to visit over his “illegal detention” and to demand his return to Maryland.

Garcia was, according to the indictment, a member of MS-13 who conspired with six others to “transport and move aliens” illegally into and throughout the country starting in 2016. These conspirators “facilitated the travel” of illegal aliens from “El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, Mexico, and elsewhere” and many of those individuals “included MS-13 members and associates.”

Garcia’s job, apparently, was to pick up illegal aliens and gang members in Houston and then move them, which is what he was doing when he got stopped by the Tennessee State Patrol in 2022 while driving a Chevrolet Suburban he did not own. He had an expired driver’s license and there were nine other unrelated male Hispanics with no IDs and no luggage in the car.

The Trump administration asked a federal court late Tuesday to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national and suspected MS-13 gang member deported earlier this year under disputed circumstances, arguing the court has no jurisdiction to force his return to the United States.

Abrego Garcia and his family sued after he was removed from the U.S. despite a prior immigration court order granting him withholding of removal to El Salvador due to what Abrego Garcia claimed were gang-related threats to his safety in his home country. He is now detained there anyway and is seeking emergency relief to be brought back to the U.S.
