The Democrats’ “hero” heads “home.”
Alleged MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia is back on U.S. soil to face human trafficking charges — a “full-time job” he allegedly held for nearly a decade, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Friday.
“He was a smuggler of humans and children and women,” she said at a press conference announcing the federal charges. “One hundred trips, the grand jury found, of smuggling people throughout our country.”
A federal grand jury in Tennessee indicted Abrego Garcia on May 21, charging him with a years-long conspiracy to move undocumented migrants from the Texas border to other states.
Fox News border correspondent Bill Melugin shared the indictment on X.
“BREAKING: @FoxNews has obtained the DOJ indictment of “Maryland man” Kilmar Abrego Garcia, charging him with 8 USC 1324 (federal human trafficking), alleging he smuggled illegal aliens in the U.S. from 2016-2015 as part of MS-13. It was filed on 5/21 and was just unsealed.”

From Fox News:
Fox News Digital obtained Tennessee Highway Patrol bodycam footage from a 2022 traffic stop where troopers pulled over Garcia for speeding. Inside his vehicle were eight other men, raising immediate suspicions. “He’s hauling these people for money,” one trooper said.
Troopers found $1,400 in cash and flagged Garcia in the National Crime Information Center, which returned a gang/terrorism alert. ICE was called, but never showed up.
This development comes after controversy erupted in March when Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador, a move many politicians on the Left claimed was unjust.

He’s being charged with transporting illegals within the US, which he was caught on body cam doing, but the Biden FBI ordered him RELEASED.
