The man who was recently booted out of the United States back to his home country of El Salvador by the Trump administration was suspected of being part of a labor/human trafficking operation, according to a report from Homeland Security Investigations. It also revealed that Kilmar Abrego-Garcia was a member of the sick and twisted gang MS-13, which has been designated as a terrorist organization by President Donald Trump.
The report stated that on Dec. 1, 2022, a Highway Patrol Trooper in Tennessee pulled Garcia over for speeding and not staying in his lane. The trooper said there were 8 people in the car with Abrego-Garcia, who told him that he had kicked off this little road trip three days prior from Houston, Texas. He said they were going to Temple Hills, Maryland, via St. Louis, Missouri, for “construction work.”
Being a highly observant and critically thinking law enforcement official, the trooper immediately suspected this was a human trafficking incident since there was no luggage inside the vehicle. Not to mention all of the passengers gave the same address as Abrego-Garcia’s home address.

When speaking with the trooper, Abrego-Garcia allegedly “pretended to speak less English than he was capable of and attempted to put encountering officer off-track by responding to questions with questions.” After the incident, the officer decided not to give Abrego-Garcia a citation for the driving infractions, but rather to give him a warning for driving with an expired license.
The HSI report also notes that in October 2019, the Prince Georges County Police Gang Unit identified Abrego-Garcia as a member of the notorious Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang.
“Abrego Garcia is a MS-13 gang member, an illegal alien from El Salvador, and a suspected human trafficker. The facts reveal he was pulled over with eight individuals in a car on an admitted three-day journey from Texas to Maryland with no luggage,” Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said in an interview with Fox News. “The facts speak for themselves, and they reek of human trafficking. The media’s sympathetic narrative about this criminal, illegal gang member has completely fallen apart. We hear far too much about the gang members and criminals’ false sob stories and not enough about their victims.”
And that’s not the only trouble soiling Abrego-Garcia’s character. He also has a record of being a very violent individual, repeatedly beating on his wife, according to court records filed in Prince George’s County, Maryland by Jennifer Vasquez, his wife.
In a filing from 2021, which was penned by Vasquez herself, she accuses Abrego-Garcia of beating her on multiple occasions, going on to write, “At this point, I am afraid to be close to him. I have multiple photos/videos of how violent he can be and all the bruises he [has] left me.”
Abrego-Garica’s deportation has caused uproar among Democrats, many of whom have referred to him as a wrongfully deported “Maryland man.” He has been held in El Salvador’s megaprison “Terrorism Confinement Center” (CECOT).
Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., flew to El Salvador where he met with Abrego-Garcia, and was mocked by Trump for being a “fool.” Other Democrat lawmakers reportedly made plans to visit Abrego-Garcia after Van Hollen’s announcement.
The White House has not held back in its criticisms of Van Hollen’s visit with Abrego-Garcia. On Friday morning, The official X account of the White House posted side-by-side photos of Trump having a meeting with the mother of Rachel Morin, who was killed in cold blood by an illegal migrant in 2023, and Van Hollen having a friendly sit-down conversation with Abrego-Garcia, along with a stinging caption that read, “We are not the same.”
