While American families honored fallen heroes this Memorial Day, Maryland Democrat Rep. Glenn Ivey was busy fighting for a violent criminal—MS-13 gang member and wife-beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien ordered deported by U.S. courts. Instead of standing with veterans or law enforcement, Ivey spent taxpayer-funded time in El Salvador screeching, “Cut the crap!” after being denied access to his so-called “constituent,” a thug who never should have been in the U.S. in the first place.
This is the same Democrat Party that screams about “justice” while bending over backward to protect criminal illegal aliens instead of American citizens. Abrego Garcia, a menace linked to one of the most brutal gangs in the world, was rightfully deported after an immigration judge and appellate court upheld his removal. Yet Democrats like Ivey and Sen. Chris Van Hollen treat him like a victim, even posing for photos with margaritas in hand—proof that the left cares more about violent offenders than the safety of our communities.
Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, who has crushed MS-13’s reign of terror in his country, mocked the Democrats’ hypocrisy, posting: “Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the ‘death camps’ & ‘torture’, now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!” Meanwhile, under President Trump’s strong border policies, monsters like Abrego Garcia were swiftly removed—not coddled.

While the liberal media spins sob stories for criminals, they ignore the real victims: American families terrorized by illegal alien violence. Trump’s America put gang members and abusers on notice—no more sanctuary cities, no more catch-and-release. But under weak Democrat leadership, the border is a free-for-all, and predators like Abrego Garcia slip through, only to be defended by out-of-touch politicians.
This isn’t about “compassion”—it’s about the left’s obsession with dismantling immigration enforcement and putting American lives at risk. While Trump fought to deport violent illegals, Democrats wine and dine them. The choice couldn’t be clearer.
