Despite being characterized as a “family man,” the deported El Salvadoran illegal alien and MS-13 gang member the Democrats are trying to rescue had several run-ins with police for associating with known gang members, driving without a license, alleged domestic violence, and human trafficking.
Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who was deported to an El Salvador prison in his home country, admitted to authorities in 2019 that he entered the United States illegally and had no basis for seeking asylum, according to police reports released Wednesday.
Abrego Garcia has become the poster child for due process rights by Democratic lawmakers, who claim he is being wrongfully imprisoned after a rushed deportation to El Salvador a few weeks ago. The administration argues he was lawfully deported under two prior court orders, Just The News reports.
In a March 28, 2019, interview with Prince George County police, the department’s Gang Unit MS-13 Intelligence Squad positively identified Abrego Garcia as a member of the MS-13 criminal gang based on several factors.
He was with several other MS-13 gang members when they were detained by Prince George County police in the Maryland suburbs of Washington D.C. Two of the individuals reached into their waistbands and discarded several unknown items under a parked vehicle. Two small plastic bottles containing marijuana were located on scene.
The men “freely admitted being citizens and nationals of El Salvador by birth and that they were present in the United States illegally,” according to the records released by Attorney General Pam Bondi. Abrego Garcia also had $1,178 cash in his possession.
The four men were arrested and transported to the Howard County Detention center for overnight placement. On March 29, 2019, Abrego Garcia was transported to the Baltimore Field Office for processing without incident.

“Abrego Garcia has made no claims to USC or LPR and is amenable to removal under 212 (a) (6) (A) (i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended, in that Abrego Garcia is an alien present in the United States without being admitted or paroled, or who arrived in the United States at any time or place other than as designated by the Attorney General,” the report said.
In a bond hearing on April 24, 2019, the Department of Homeland Security opposed the Respondent’s request for bond due to being a verified gang member. Abrego Garcia also failed to appear for hearings related to traffic violations.
“The Court further held that no bond was appropriate in order to ensure the Respondent’s appearance at future hearings, as he had not met his burden of showing that he would not be a flight risk,” the records state. “In addition, the record evidence shows that the Respondent has a history of failing to appear for proceedings pertaining to his traffic violations.”
During a police interview with Abrego Garcia on March 28, 2019, the officers observed he was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat and a hoodie with rolls of money covering the eyes, ears and mouth of the presidents on the separate denominations.
Officers know such clothing to be indicative of the Hispanic gang culture. The meaning of the clothing is to represent “ver, oir y callar” or “see no evil, hear no evil and say no evil.”
“Wearing the Chicago Bulls hat represents that they are a member in good standing with the MS-13,” the report added. “Officers contacted a past proven and reliable source of information, who advised Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is an active member of MS-13 with the Westerns clique. The confidential source further advised that he is the rank of ‘Chequeo’ with the moniker of ‘Chele.’”
Fox New also reports has a record of being a “violent” repeat wife beater, according to court records filed in a Prince George’s County, Maryland, district court by his wife.
In 2021 the filing, written in Jennifer Vasquez’s own handwriting, she alleges Abrego Garcia repeatedly beat her, writing: “At this point, I am afraid to be close to him. I have multiple photos/videos of how violent he can be and all the bruises he [has] left me.”
Despite two judges determining he is likely to be a member of MS-13, Abrego Garcia and his family have denied this claim. In 2019, he was granted a “withholding of removal” order, which determined Abrego Garcia could not be deported to El Salvador over concerns related to his safety in his homeland, but that he could be removed to a third country.
