The Democrat Party has stooped to a new low. They’re constantly showing why their popularity is in the tank.
And this Democrat congressmember has colluded with an alleged criminal in a shocking bombshell revelation.
On Monday morning, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shortly after meeting with Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen. The senator, a vocal supporter, reaffirmed his commitment to “fighting for justice and due process for all” in Abrego Garcia’s complex and controversial case. Accused of ties to the MS-13 gang and a multi-state human trafficking ring, Abrego Garcia’s story has created an immense amount of controversy in the U.S.
A Tumultuous Journey Back to Maryland
Abrego Garcia’s path has been fraught with twists. Deported to El Salvador months ago, his case drew fierce support from Democratic leaders, including Van Hollen, who rallied to his defense despite allegations of gang involvement and human smuggling.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged him with human smuggling and accused him of domestic violence, leading to his return to the U.S. from an El Salvadoran prison.
Last Friday, a federal judge granted him parole, freeing him from custody. But that freedom was fleeting. When he checked in with immigration officials on Monday, ICE agents arrested him again. The Trump administration, firm in its stance, declared intentions to deport him to Uganda
A Leftist Senator’s Insane Support
Senator Van Hollen, who previously made headlines by traveling to El Salvador to meet Abrego Garcia, has remained steadfast. Their recent meeting in Maryland, just before his latest detention, emphasized Van Hollen’s dedication.
In a Sunday statement, he expressed relief at reconnecting, saying, “I was glad to have the opportunity to speak with Kilmar Ábrego García this morning and welcome him back to Maryland after what has been a long and torturous nightmare.”
Reflecting on their conversation, Van Hollen emphasized his fight to help an alleged criminal: “It was the first time I have talked to him since our meeting in El Salvador. During our conversation, I shared with him that I and many others have been fighting for months to ensure that his constitutional due process rights were respected despite Trump’s efforts to deny them at every turn.”
He accused the administration of misrepresenting facts and abusing power by pushing for deportation to Uganda, a move he believes is meant to block Abrego Garcia’s ability to contest new charges.
“As I told Kilmar and his wife Jennifer, we will stay in this fight for justice and due process because if his rights are denied, the rights of everyone else are put at risk,” he stated.
Today I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The courts & public outcry forced Trump to return him to MD, but Trump’s cronies keep lying about his case & are engaged in a malicious abuse of power to try to deport him to Uganda.

The Weight of the Allegations
At the heart of the case lies a 2022 traffic stop in Tennessee. State troopers pulled over Abrego Garcia, who was driving a vehicle owned by Jose Ramon Hernandez-Reyes, a convicted felon serving time in Alabama for running a human smuggling operation.
Nine passengers were found inside the vehicle, none with luggage, fueling suspicions of illegal transport. Though troopers initially let Abrego Garcia go after consulting federal agents, later investigations linked him to Hernandez-Reyes’ scheme. FBI interviews revealed that Hernandez-Reyes had hired Abrego Garcia to help move undocumented immigrants from the southern border into the U.S.
REPORTER: "Why are the Democrats so emotionally attached to this man [Kilmar Abrego Garcia] who beats his wife and is part of a t*rrorist organization?"
TRUMP: "Because they think he’s going to be good for votes… THESE PEOPLE ARE DERANGED!"
