Democrats and their leftist media allies treat “Maryland dad” Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia like a devoted member of a PTA chapter in College Park. When he’s not driving his kids to Little League games in Chevy Chase, the fake news would have you believe, he takes them to Annapolis to deepen their appreciation for the Navy’s heroic contribution to American history.

Even if Abrego Garcia did these things, the non-paternal activities of this “Maryland dad” merit his deportation and permanent banishment from America.

The mere fact that a man has children does not automatically place a halo over his head. If so, Joseph Goebbels would be remembered as a “Berlin dad,” rather than as the Third Reich’s minister of propaganda and public enlightenment. While Abrego Garcia is no war criminal, he is no soccer coach, either.

Despite Democrats’ relentless hair-pulling and teeth-gnashing to the contrary—not least Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., sharing margaritas with him in El Salvador on Thursday—Abrego Garcia is a reprehensible man.

First, he is an illegal alien. Abrego Garcia broke into America with neither permission nor papers. How do we know this? He said so.

According to a March 28, 2019, Prince George’s County, Maryland, Police Department gang field interview sheet, “Abrego Garcia is a citizen and national of El Salvador. Abrego Garcia claimed to have walked across the desert for many days entering illegally into the United States near McAllen, Texas, on or about March 25, 2012,” during the Obama-Biden regime.

The moment Abrego Garcia’s toe touched American soil, he violated U.S. Code 8 § 1325—improper entry by alien. As such, this illegal alien invaded this country and has zero right to be here. America owes Abrego Garcia nothing more than a swift boot in the backside. That’s what he got when President Donald Trump deported him to El Salvador, whence he came.

Even worse, Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13. This lethal Salvadoran street gang has earned a reputation not just for killing its victims; it is fond of signaling its barbarity by chopping its prey into pieces.

“Abrego Garcia was validated as a member of the Mara Salvatrucha (MS13) Gang … a transnational criminal street gang,” the interview sheet states.........
