Tom Homan Says He Saw Something Proving Abrego Garcia Is ‘Absolutely’ MS-13

Border czar Tom Homan said Wednesday evening on Fox News that an MS-13 expert allegedly verified pictures of gang-related hand tattoos that appear to corroborate that illegal migrant Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia belongs to that organization.

Democrats have rallied behind Abrego Garcia. A lower court requested that the U.S. government bring him back to the country. Maryland Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador on Wednesday. Homan appeared on “The Ingraham Angle” where host Laura Ingraham asked him about Democrats who defend Abrego Garcia. She also mentioned Van Hollen’s failed attempt to meet the migrant.

“Chris Van Hollen, the guy that didn’t want to sign the Laken Riley Act that protects American citizens against illegal alien criminal gang members? Who instead of protecting American citizens, his constituents, his taxpayers, he goes to El Salvador and defends an illegal alien with a deportation order that’s a member of MS-13 that has been designated a terrorist organization by President Trump? That’s where he went to defend it?”

“It’s just disgusting. The same senator who stayed yesterday, released an illegal alien charged with murder, refused the ICE detainer, hit the street. So rather than protecting his community, protecting the residents of Maryland, he goes to El Salvador to coddle an MS-13 gang member terrorist. It’s ridiculous.”

Abrego Garcia was deported by the Trump administration in March and sent to El Salvador’s mega-prison. A lower court, however, ordered his return, prompting the Trump administration to bring the case to the Supreme Court.

In their filing, the Trump administration admitted Abrego Garcia was deported due to an “administrative error,” but said he should remain in El Salvador because he could pose a threat, saying he’s allegedly affiliated with MS-13.

Homan went on to discuss his conversation with the MS-13 expert and asked whether Democrats “really believe” what they’re defending.

“I talked to an MS-13 expert today who also showed me pictures of his [Abrego Garcia’s] hand, where he says, ‘Absolutely the tattoo on one of his hands was absolutely an MS-13 gang tattoo.’ Nothing questionable about it. Two judges said he’s [an] MS-13 member. ICE says he’s [an] MS-13 member. Intelligence community says he’s [an] MS-13 member. El Salvador says he’s [an] MS-13 member.

“As far as all the people who are speaking out against this, I cannot believe for a minute there’s that many stupid people in the world. Now, AOC on the smart meter, she’s a zero. We’ll give them that. But I can’t believe these people really believe what they’re saying. They’ve got to be just pushing the narrative for political reasons. They can’t be that dumb to think that this person isn’t an MS-13 gang member and a public safety threat.”

Some Democrats have continued to claim that Abrego Garcia is not affiliated with MS-13. On Wednesday, though, the Department of Justice released new documents showing that local law enforcement had evidence as far back as 2019 supporting their allegations against the illegal migrant.
