Democrats are rushing to defend a deported illegal immigrant accused of MS-13 gang ties while ignoring American families torn apart by foreign criminals. Senators and congressmen announced plans to fly to El Salvador’s maximum-security prison to demand the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national deported after entering the U.S. illegally. Meanwhile, the families of Laken Riley and countless other victims of illegal immigrant violence wait in silence as their pain gets erased by left-wing politicians.
The Trump administration deported Garcia for suspected gang activity, but Democrats insist he’s innocent. Senator Chris Van Hollen called the deportation an “illegal abduction” and vowed to personally intervene, while progressive Reps. Maxwell Frost and Robert Garcia demanded taxpayer-funded trips to check on his jail conditions. These same lawmakers refused to honor Riley’s family during President Trump’s State of the Union address, showing where their loyalties lie.
Critics blasted the hypocrisy of prioritizing foreign criminals over public safety. “Democrats gave illegal criminals luxury hotels. President Trump gave them one-way tickets to prison,” said Rep. Lance Gooden. Conservative commentators called the planned trip a “pathetic publicity stunt” that proves the party cares more about open borders than protecting citizens. Even El Salvador’s president questioned why Democrats want to smuggle gang members back into U.S. neighborhoods.
The media machine amplified this pro-criminal agenda, with outlets like Axios framing Garcia as a victim. Newsmax host Rob Finnerty exposed the bias, saying corporate journalists abandoned objectivity to push radical ideologies. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed Democrats for “defending illegal aliens who rape, murder, and terrorize” while dismissing American suffering.
Garcia’s case isn’t isolated – thousands of violent offenders entered under Biden’s open borders. Tren de Aragua gang members linked to child trafficking, police assaults, and executions now roam free in sanctuary cities. ICE deported 238 gang members last month, but Democrats and activist judges keep fighting to halt flights. “Why are they protecting foreign terrorists instead of U.S. citizens?” asked Rep. Tom Tiffany.
Laken Riley’s name haunts this debate. The Georgia nursing student was brutally killed by an illegal immigrant released under Biden’s policies. Her family’s grief went ignored by Democrats jetting off to Central America. “They’ll fly worldwide for criminals but won’t stand for Laken’s parents,” noted GOP strategist Greg Price. The contrast couldn’t be clearer: one party fights for victims, the other coddles predators.
Colorado Democrats doubled down by pushing laws to block ICE from schools and churches. They called Trump’s deportation surge “government-funded kidnapping” while shielding criminal aliens. States like Maryland and Florida face similar battles as local leaders defy federal efforts to restore order. “President Trump is cleaning up the disaster Democrats created,” said Rep. Nicole Malliotakis.
This moral rot defines today’s Democratic Party – putting foreign gangs ahead of homeland security, globalism above national sovereignty. As Van Hollen boards his flight to El Salvador, Americans know the truth: the left would rather jail ICE agents than MS-13 butchers. November’s landslide proved voters want borders, not apologies for killers. The Trump administration will keep deporting threats until every community is safe again.
