Trump admin releases docs allegedly linking Kilmar Abrego Garcia to MS-13 gang [View all]

The Trump administration has released numerous documents allegedly linking Kilmar Abrego Garcia — a Maryland man who was recently deported to El Salvador — to the notorious MS-13 gang. Attorney General Pam Bondi shared arrest records to social media Wednesday, which claim Abrego Garcia was identified as an active member of MS-13 after being arrested in 2019 in connection to a murder investigation.

One of the documents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security states that authorities made contact with Abrego Garcia and two other individuals outside of a Maryland Home Depot, and they all "freely admitted being citizens" of El Salvador and "were present in the United States illegally." They were all then taken into custody.

According to the Prince Georges County Police Department in Maryland, Abrego Garcia was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat at the time of his arrest, which allegedly symbolizes a "member in good standing" with MS-13. Authorities claim Abrego Garcia was also wearing a hoodie that symbolized what they describe as being "indicative" of Hispanic gang culture. The document then states that a confidential source confirmed to police that Abrego Garcia was an active member of MS-13.

He was ultimately charged with being in the U.S. illegally and had "no immigration history" at his time of arrest, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Abrego Garcia was one of over 200 individuals deported to El Salvador nearly one month ago. Despite his undocumented status, Abrego Garcia has an American wife and three children. Additionally, he had a court order protecting him from deportation to El Salvador due to credible fears for his life if he returned.

So one "fitting the description" of MS-13 is someone "wearing a Chicago Bulls cap and a hoodie".
