Democrats face criticism from Ted Cruz, who terms their advocacy for an alleged MS-13 member as mind-boggling, labeling it a 'crazy town' approach. However, the Maryland senator stands his ground and defends his stance.
A Fresh Approach:
Ted Cruz Roasts Dems Over Support for Convicted Wife-Beater Immigrant: "This Gone Crazy"
Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, lashed out at Democrats for championing the cause of convicted wife-beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member, stating, "It's just bonkers out here, folks."
Democrats, including Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen, have taken a stand for Abrego Garcia's return to the US after he was deported to El Salvador. Their stance has caused quite a stir, with many critics accusing them of prioritizing illegal immigration over American citizens.
Cruz made his sentiments known, saying, "The Democrats seem hellbent on backing criminals like Abrego Garcia. I mean, their stance is so extreme it's like they've been possessed by some strange obsession with hate for Trump."
The controversy comes as Newark, NJ Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested after joining several members of Congress in storming an ICE detention facility.
"Doing this is not heroic, it's downright dangerous," Cruz added. "Democrats should put the safety and wellbeing of American citizens first."
*GANG MEMBERS OR INNOCENT? A LOOK INTO THE LIFE OF ABREGO GARCIA*
Court records and police investigations have revealed a dark side to Abrego Garcia's character. He was arrested in Hyattsville, Maryland, in October 2019, transporting eight immigrants—an offense that raised suspicions of human trafficking. He was identified as a key member of the MS-13 gang by the Prince George's County Police Gang Unit.
A federal immigration court in Baltimore found Abrego Garcia ineligible for release due to his alleged membership in the MS-13 gang, as evidence proved that he posed a threat to others [1]. DHS sources also confirmed that he had been pulling vehicles for another illegal immigrant involved in human smuggling across the US-Mexico border [2].
*ALLEGED DOMESTIC ABUSE SURFACES*
Court documents filed by Abrego Garcia's wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, revealed a horrific account of physical, verbal, and emotional abuse she had suffered at his hands, as well as the mistreatment of her children.
The Supreme Court upheld a lower court's decision, ordering the Trump administration to arrange Abrego Garcia's return [2]. However, Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that returning Abrego Garcia is not in the hands of the US but El Salvador if they choose to accept him [2].
When questioned about the domestic abuse allegations, Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen, who traveled to El Salvador to advocate for Abrego Garcia, became confrontational. "What I said here was that these issues need to be litigated in court," Van Hollen responded, adding, "What Trump needs to do is back up his words in the court system."
