You're mistaken, at best. Neither of the first two links in the first clause of the first sentence of the article were written by Garcia's lawyers: "In multiple [1] filings[2], ...."

At this point, your mistaken insistence with zero evidence repeated over #304 and over #308 and over #310 and over #312 and over #314 and over #318 has become nothing other than spam. Is this a game?

KRNV Video: Karoline Leavitt comments on Arbrego Garcia and victims of MS-13:

So well said.
Here’s the problem I have with this. They talk about deporting MS13 and cartel gang members and claim that 15 million illegal immigrants came across the boarder during Biden’s administration but if you add up all the gangs in Mexico and South America combined they don’t add up to 200,000 members. Which means that the vast majority of people who crossed the boarder aren’t hardened gang members because even if every gang member in Mexico and South America came to the US, which they’d never do because they’d lose their foothold in their territory, they’d still only make up 1.3% of the 15 million who allegedly came here. None of what they’re actually saying adds up, but people just believe what they want which is why they continue to lie to the public.

This is the kind of madness we get when both parties do nothing but lie and so does the media. The result is you can’t believe a single word anyone says or a single source anyone quotes.

Both the United States government and the El Salvadorian government have concluded, based on all of the evidence available to them, that he is an MS-13 gang member.
We have ‘no proof’ Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a gangster, El Salvador minister admits

Mistakenly deported illegal immigrant is being held in low security prison where no MS-13 members are jailed

Gustavo Villatoro, El Salvador’s justice and security minister, said Mr Abrego Garcia is currently being held in a low security prison where strictly no gang members are jailed because the US has sent no “evidence” of his criminal history.

Mr Villatoro also suggested it was possible El Salvador could facilitate the return of Mr Abrego Garcia “in the future” should Donald Trump request it.

Mr Abrego Garcia, 29, was originally imprisoned in El Salvador’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center, Cecot, a mega prison designed for MS-13 gang members.

He was then transferred to Centro Industrial prison in Santa Ana, one of the lowest security prisons in the country which is solely for “trusted” inmates who are preparing for release.

Asked why Mr Abrego Garcia was being held there, given the White House has claimed he is a member of MS-13 and Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, had called him a “terrorist”, Mr Villatoro said: “We are receiving and asking for information [from the] US, because, remember, he committed [a] crime in [the] US, not in El Salvador.”

He added: “But the thing is, he is accused by the US government as a member of MS-13, so if we want to accuse him, we have to receive the whole proof that he is a member of MS.”

Pressed on whether this means right now that El Salvador is unsure whether Mr Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13, Mr Villatoro replied: “Yes, we are waiting for the evidence.”

Neither one of your sources rebuts him as an MS-13 gang member. They acknowledge and agree he IS an MS-13 gang member. You provided two additional sources that support his gang affiliation.

You seem behind the times. The Biden administration broke border laws and failed to properly vet millions and millions of people, while claiming to the public that the border was safe, secure, and closed. No one, not Trump or anyone else, ever claimed that the terrorists, gang and cartel members, Chinese men of military age, and hardened criminals were the majority of those people let in. If fact we know many of those coming in were victims, trafficked by the cartels for money. We don't know what happened to so many trafficked women and children, the Biden administration seemed to pay little attention to their fate. The border policies of the Democrats greatly enriched the criminal organizations, and with billions of dollars they have been able to gain a major foothold here in the U.S., with that kind of money recruits are no problem, they even have recruited a number of Americans. An analogy would be the billions of dollars released to Iran by the Biden administration, they now can fund the Houthis and other terrorist groups. Enough people saw through the lies of the Democrats and voted Trump in. From the beginning, and this has been an extremely transparent administration, holding numerous press conferences, the administration said that they would start with the worst of the gang members, etc. but that when they came across other illegals in their sweeps they would be arrested and deported. They have kept their word.

They have the word of the U.S. administration, I am sure that if the El Salvador president wants more evidence that the Trump administration will provide it. As to Garcia, he's got the tattoos right there on his hands, Trump has taken the time to show the deniers photos. The wife beaters and human traffickers do not need our help, the trafficked women and children do, and I urge all sanctuary cities and areas to cooperate with law enforcement before it it too late.

That's not saying much.

As to Garcia, he's got the tattoos right there on his hands, Trump has taken the time to show the deniers photos.
Marijuana leaves, crosses and skulls are widely used by people who do not belong to gangs. Gang crime experts said they did not stand out to them as MS-13 markers.

"I don’t believe a ‘dangerous individual’ would have such anodyne and farcically generic tattoos on his hand," said Liliana Castañeda Rossmann, a California State University San Marcos emerita professor of communication and author of the book "Transcending Gangs: Latinas Story Their Experience."

Sean Kennedy, a former federal public defender in California and now a Loyola Law School professor, said that in his experience representing and interacting with current and former MS-13 members, "The tattoos in the photo don't look familiar to me."

Such designs are out of character with typical MS-13 tattoos, Kennedy said.

"Within MS-13 culture, such markings would likely be frowned upon and even viewed as a sign of cowardice, as they could be interpreted as an attempt to hide or downplay gang affiliation," Kennedy said. "That type of concealment goes against the gang's norms, which often demand bold, visible demonstrations of identity and loyalty."

Charles Katz, director of Arizona State University’s Center for Violence Prevention and Community Safety, concurred.

"I have worked on issues related to MS-13 for the past 15 years in El Salvador and the U.S. and I have never seen tattoos or graffiti suggesting that these particular tattoos are associated with MS-13."

"While police gang experts often use so-called gang tattoos as circumstantial evidence of alleged gang involvement, in my experience, they never use tattoos alone as definitive evidence of gang affiliation," said David M. Kennedy, a John Jay College of Criminal Justice professor who studies gangs. "This is particularly true where, as here, the tattoos are ambiguous and may reflect things other than gang ties, such as religion, loss, personal transformation or cultural identity."



“These are definitely NOT MS-13 tattoos,” Thomas Ward, a University of Southern California professor who spent years embedded with MS-13 researching the gang, and is the author of an ethnography that studies MS-13, said in an email.

“Those tattoos do not prove that he’s a member of MS-13,” said Susan Phillips, a Pitzer College professor who has studied gangs and written a book on gang graffiti.

While some gangs will opt for more low-profile or ambiguous means of identifying members to evade detection from law enforcement or rival gang members, MS-13 tattoos, according to Leap, aren’t exactly subtle. They are used to market the gang’s brutality.

“MS-13 members have tattoos that say ‘MS-13,’” Leap said. “They’re not head-scratchers; they’re billboards. There’s no ambiguity.”

“MS gang members are proud of their membership in the gang and don’t want/need to hide it behind some cryptic message,”

This Tom Ward guy used to investigate MS-13, as has been stated by experts MS-13 changes the tattoos. I don't understand the support among Democrats for such a violent man. Here is the latest on Mr. Garcia:

"...a different standard"

"they get whatever my lawyers say"

Democrats violated our border laws and allowed dangerous criminals to enter our country, all in a quest for more votes and more power. There have been many victims. The criminals are not each going to get a court trial to the satisfaction of the Democratic Party in order to be deported.

Where are you getting this information from? The Trump administration? He blames everything on Biden no matter what it is. When the plane crashed into a helicopter he blamed Biden even before they had conducted the investigation. He even said that they didn’t know why the crash happened but it was Biden’s fault. The guy’s a pathological liar. If you cant see that you’re blind because you don’t want to see it.
If fact we know many of those coming in were victims, trafficked by the cartels for money.
Money paid by who?
How were they enriched with billions of dollars? Where did they get this money from? Where are you getting this information from?

I was there. When Joe took over I tried to tell people the border patrol was not whipping migrants, and that the "cages" were what Obama used to hold immigrants. I too was there when the Democrats claimed the border was safe, secure, and closed but eventually Republican senators were able to get photos of what was going on. The big break was when the Texas governor bused these supposed non-existent illegals to major border cities like New York and Chicago, and then when Democratic mayors complained the media had to cover the story.
How were they enriched with billions of dollars? Where did they get this money from? Where are you getting this information from?
Even the New York Times eventually covered the story. I don't have a subscription but here is a reference to a NY Times report:

"Speaking with the New York Times, a family member of two of the migrants who died in that truck said they had taken out loans to pay the $10,000 per person fee to smuggle them into America. The Times adds that smuggling fees can range from $2,000 to $40,000."

Really because I was there to. I’ve lived in Texas my entire life and I haven’t noticed 10,000 immigrants crossing the boarder every single day for the last 4 years. I see the places around Dallas where the illegals hang out looking for work every morning hoping that a contractor or someone will stop by to pick them up as laborers so they can work to make some money. You’d think that there should be more people at these locations but there’s not. It’s the same number of people standing there every morning for the past 20 years. Hasn’t changed at all despite the alleged 15 million immigrants coming across the border. The Trump administration is exaggerating a small increase into a ridiculous increase just like they always do. They lie and people believe what they want to believe.

That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of. You think these people camping out on the Mexican side of the boarder have $4000 just lying around to pay the cartels to take them into America? I’m a working American with a decent paying job and I don’t have $4000 and I make 10 times what they can earn on a Mexican wage. They don’t need to pay the cartels money to cross the boarder when they can just walk across themselves. You can’t just cross the boarder then get into a vehicle a drive into the US. Boarder patrol has checkpoints on every road about 60 miles inside the boarder. They have to walk past that 60 mile point before they can get into a vehicle otherwise they’re going to get stopped and taken right back. I worked in Del Rio for 2 years which is right on the boarder and the boarder patrol checkpoint is about an hour drive from Del Rio. It would be cheaper to apply for a visa and green card thru USCIS than it would be to pay the cartels $4000 per person. I know because it costed me about $2000 per person for my wife and two daughters. So not only do they not have enough money to pay $4000 per person to the cartels but they’d be completely retarded to pay that much when they can get a green card cheaper which they will still need once they get here illegally. So in reality nothing you said here makes any sense at all.

The New York times is not particularly credible, but the facts were widely reported and supported. You're right, a lot of people don't have the money, the cartels would often fit them with bracelets showing where they are going and how much they owe. If they don't work it off, through sex or through labor, often the threat is made that the rest of their family or relatives back home will be killed.

"Sadly, due to the failed open border policies of the Biden-Harris Administration, we have delivered these unaccompanied children to criminals, traffickers and members of transnational criminal organizations who are using the UAC program as a white glove delivery service of children. These criminal sponsors are defrauding the U.S. government by using the UAC program as the logistical chain of their child trafficking operation. [Emphasis added]"

Which is exactly why most people don’t approach the cartels for anything. They know how dangerous they are and don’t want to have any dealings with them whatsoever, especially when it’s cheaper to get a green card legally which they’re going to need to have anyways. Their entire goal for coming here is to get a job so they can earn enough money to get a green card. They don’t need the cartels for anything because they’re still going to have to walk 60 miles once they cross the boarder. There’s no benefit at all for going to the cartels.

No wonder your information doesn’t make any sense, you’re quoting from unreliable sources that promote propaganda. You need to stop looking on the internet and start looking in the real world and use some common sense.

Let’s do some math. 13 billion per year divided by $4000 per person equals 3,250,000 people. Thats basically every single immigrant coming across the boarder is paying the cartels $4000? Does that really seem feasible to you?
