As we reported earlier, on Friday, the Supreme Court, by a 7-2 vote, punted back to the appeals court the case of whether the president has the authority to deport Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. And then there’s alleged MS-13 gang member and Sen. Chris Van Hollen man-crush Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was arrested with other MS-13 gang members and has MS-13 tattoos on his knuckles. The Washington Post reminds us that President Trump was given a week to identify the efforts it had made to return Garcia from his native El Salvador to Maryland.
A federal judge gave the Trump administration a week to identify efforts to return Kilmar Abrego García and 137 Venezuelans from El Salvador, while a Maryland federal judge expressed increasing frustration with the Justice Department. https://t.co/UGmiE3WAV2

“… while a Maryland federal judge expressed increasing frustration.” That’s a shame.
The thing is, Garcia is home. He was in the U.S. illegally. He’s a citizen of El Salvador. He’s their problem.
Or what?

Democrats are fighting hard to bring gang members into the country.

Nobody cares. Unenforceable bullshit.

Garcia is a citizen of ElSalvador currently IN El Salvador.
The President of El Salvador has said he will NOT be coming back to the United States!— northhunter job Title Husband,Father, Grandfather. (@northofmackinac) May 17, 2025
The admin should simply say, “we asked, they said no. We are not going to pursue this any further”

“‘Do not tell us that he’s alive, well, healthy, put on weight,’ Frimpong said. ‘Let him talk to his family, let him talk to his lawyers, release him from prison and bring him home.'”

An El Salvadoran citizen is in custody in El Salvador, and the president of El Salvador said he’s not sending him back. No effort to bring him back is going to bring him back. “Maryland man” is home.
