All over the news, everywhere you tune in, all we’re hearing about this past week is how a “Maryland Man” was illegally deported by the Trump Administration, and how first they “defied” a District Judge’s order to turn the planes around, and then SCOTUS ordered the Trump Administration to “facilitate the return” of said “Maryland Man,” but that hasn’t happened. The horror!
I had to look into this. Because although I do not support illegal immigration, especially to the destructive degree it was unleashed on us during the past four years of the Biden Regime, I would never want an American citizen – a “Maryland Man” as he has been portrayed by the mainstream media – to be erroneously swept up during ICE raids and deported if he did not deserve to be, under the law. And that is exactly what the media has blasted us with, continuously, day in and day out: that this poor guy was erroneously rounded up by the evil ICE, and then erroneously deported with violent gang members, making it sound like he’s an innocent American citizen in an awfully unfair predicament. He must be saved!
Okay.
To begin with, let me be clear: I object to the term now widely used: Undocumented Immigrant. Or even immigrant or migrant. No one is “undocumented” unless they literally crossed the border illegally without so much as checking themselves through a legal portal. During the Biden Regime this was completely unnecessary because the illegal aliens who were invited in from all over the world, in an all-out effort to destroy the country, only needed to go onto a United States’ government app, provided to them by a U.S. government phone, and put in whatever information they wanted. And then they could enter and be released into the country with a court date, often 5-6 years from now. We know that thousands were flown in by Biden, directly from their country of origin, right over the border and into our cities and towns. Don’t get me started.
By the language of our own federal law, anyone other than those aliens who enter legally, and either obtain the proper visa or apply for citizenship and eventually become citizens, are considered “Illegal Aliens.” That is the term used in the law:
8 U.S. Code § 1324 – Bringing in and harboring certain aliens
(a)Criminal penalties
(A) Any person who—
(i) knowing that a person is an alien, brings to or attempts to bring to the United States in any manner whatsoever such person at a place other than a designated port of entry or place other than as designated by the Commissioner, regardless of whether such alien has received prior official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States and regardless of any future official action which may be taken with respect to such alien;
(ii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, transports, or moves or attempts to transport or move such alien within the United States by means of transportation or otherwise, in furtherance of such violation of law;
(iii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation;
(iv) encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law; or
(v) (I) engages in any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts, or
(II) aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts,
shall be punished as provided in subparagraph (B).

(i) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i) or (v)(I) or in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(ii), (iii), or (iv) in which the offense was done for the purpose of commercial advantage or private financial gain, be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both;
(ii) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(ii), (iii), (iv), or (v)(II), be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both;
(iii) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) during and in relation to which the person causes serious bodily injury (as defined in section 1365 of title 18) to, or places in jeopardy the life of, any person, be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both; and
(iv) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) resulting in the death of any person, be punished by death or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, fined under title 18, or both.
(2)Any person who, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has not received prior official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, brings to or attempts to bring to the United States in any manner whatsoever, such alien, regardless of any official action which may later be taken with respect to such alien shall, for each alien in respect to whom a violation of this paragraph occurs—
(A) be fined in accordance with title 18 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; or
(B) in the case of—
(i) an offense committed with the intent or with reason to believe that the alien unlawfully brought into the United States will commit an offense against the United States or any State punishable by imprisonment for more than 1 year,
(ii) an offense done for the purpose of commercial advantage or private financial gain, or
(iii) an offense in which the alien is not upon arrival immediately brought and presented to an appropriate immigration officer at a designated port of entry,
be fined under title 18 and shall be imprisoned, in the case of a first or second violation of subparagraph (B)(iii), not more than 10 years, in the case of a first or second violation of subparagraph (B)(i) or (B)(ii), not less than 3 nor more than 10 years, and for any other violation, not less than 5 nor more than 15 years.

Now, we can see by reading the actual legal language that the term used in our own Federal Law is “Illegal Alien”. So, don’t buy into the left’s constant spewing of the terms “Undocumented Migrant,” “Undocumented Immigrant” or just “Migrant.” These terms are used to soft-pedal this issue. Those who have entered our country illegally are Illegal Aliens, not undocumented immigrants; not migrants, and in the case of the left’s description of the illegal alien who was living in Maryland, they are not citizens, nor is he a “Maryland Man.” He is not from Maryland, he is from El Salvador.
We can also see by reading the law for ourselves, that Joe Biden should be in jail for aiding, abetting, and transporting into the country so many illegal aliens. Whatever the sentence would be – say one year per occurrence – he would spend the next 12-20 million years in jail. Good job. You can look up the USC code and read it for yourself if you want to, here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1324

Now, let’s move on to the “Maryland Man” who was so “abhorrently abducted and deported” by our government, apparently, according to the “news” outlets, illegally, illegitimately, immorally, unethically and cruelly:
Here is a picture of him, as he has been identified by family member (wife) in the prison in El Salvador:
First a reminder: 59% of Americans support mass deportations. That was the statistic in the last months of the presidential campaign, and it was what President Trump ran on. Oh, and was elected on, in a landslide. Since the left is losing the case in The People vs. The Mainstream Media, I imagine the support of mass deportations is even higher now, and it increases every time there’s another crime committed by an illegal alien.
Second: In different statements given by this “Maryland Man” – Kilmar Abrego Garcia – who, again, is not a man from Maryland, at all, but rather a citizen of El Salvador, he said in one statement that he fled El Salvador in order to escape gang violence threatened against him and his family. However, in another statement, he said he fled El Salvador in order to escape rival gang violence.
Apparently, it’s widely recognized by law enforcement that gang members of MS-13 wear apparel of the Chicago Bulls:
Third: If he traveled to the U.S. through Guatemala, then Mexico, he was supposed to apply for asylum in one of those countries. The law says the alien must apply for asylum in the first country they enter upon leaving their own country.
Fourth: In 2019, Abrego Garcia was arrested in a Home Depot parking lot in Beltsville, Maryland. He was deemed by two judges to be a confirmed member of the MS-13 gang and was refused bond because he was a “Danger to the Community.” You can read about this here, and I recommend you do; this is a good article by Victoria Taft in which she makes the point that the left has a lot more sympathy for this guy than they do the girls chopped up by machetes by MS-13 gang members: https://pjmedia.com/victoria-taft/2025/04/14/do-you-know-why-the-beatified-ms-13-maryland-father-was-mistakenly-deported-n4938902
Fifth: On February 20, 2025, President Trump officially designated MS-13 a “Terrorist Organization”: https://www.state.gov/terrorist-designations-of-international-cartels/
Sixth: The Government acknowledged the removal was an error. Only because in his initial arrest, the judge thought there was sufficient evidence that Abrego Garcia was in danger (of rival gang violence) should he be deported back to his country of origin – El Salvador, because he said they had threatened him and his family members. And so, he could have legally been deported to any other country, but that part of the judge’s order was overlooked, and the DOJ admitted this readily. (In light of all the information below, this acknowledgement by the U.S. has since been revoked.)
Next: SCOTUS, in their finding that the Trump Administration has sweeping authority to decide foreign policy (we apparently needed the Supreme Court to tell us this. Duh.), and also to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegals, they added in that they thought the administration should “facilitate” the return of Abrego Garcia, due to the Trump Administration’s admission that his deportation to El Salvador was an error even though he did have legitimate deportation orders, (he was just not supposed to be returned to El Salvador). (This order by SCOTUS was also later revoked in light of new information that came forward).
If you read nothing else in this article, you should scroll down and read the comments people are leaving. I’m kind of surprised, even though it’s Fox News (the comments are mostly in support of this man’s deportation). I think the American people have had it with this issue of illegal aliens, and there is very little sympathy for them anymore: https://www.foxnews.com/us/maryland-immigrant-wrongly-deported-to-el-salvador-must-return-to-us-supreme-court-rules
Now comes President Bukele of El Salvador, who visited President Trump and several cabinet members at the White House today. When asked by a CNN reporter (you really should watch the video because of President Trump’s comments to her), President Bukele explained how he has no authority to take a citizen of his country, who has been found to have ties to MS-13, then named a terrorist by the United States, with legitimate deportation orders from the United States, and release him in his own country, let alone smuggle him illegally back into the United States). That is not going to happen according to President Bukele.
Boom.
You can read the E.O. signed by President Trump, and all the information the White House is putting out about illegal aliens and deportations, for Americans to read here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-the-american-people-against-invasion/
DOGE recently reported that 6,300 aliens, so far, have been found by DOGE to be on terrorist watch lists, and they don’t claim the number is anywhere near complete. Of those found thus far, you should know that 905 were collecting Medicaid and $276,000 was paid out for their Medicaid claims. 41 collected $42,000 in Unemployment Insurance. 22 Received Student Loans. 409 received 2024 Tax Refunds for a total of $751,000. Many received SNAP benefits. Remember: this only includes those found by DOGE so far.
So, personally, if a person was erroneously arrested or deported, I would, of course, want the situation to be set aright. But in this case, it really doesn’t matter whether he was on the right track with his life, or still involved with gang life here. He entered the country illegally. He should’ve applied for asylum in another country according to the laws, and then if he still wanted to enter the United States, he should have applied to do so legally and he should’ve gone through the legal process He left El Salvador and entered the U.S. fifteen years ago, and maybe could’ve been a citizen by now, if he had chosen to follow the legal path with his life. But he didn’t; he never did any of that. He is a citizen of El Salvador, and he has been returned there and no judge – even a Supreme Court Judge (but least of all a District Judge) has the right to tell El Salvador what to do. And so, I’m afraid he’s stuck there.
Maybe the message to illegal aliens from all this should be: Self-Deport now. Because once all the violent criminals with deportation orders are rounded up and deported, the next round will be those who have not committed crimes after illegally entering here. That only leaves the BIG ONE of entering this country illegally. And based on what I’m seeing and reading, despite the hysteria of the left and the mainstream media, who no longer have influence over the people, the majority of Americans will continue to support their deportations, too.
Despite how much they yell and scream about how unfair it is in their upside-down mental state. In fact, the more they do this, the more credibility they lose, if there’s even any left. (Pssst: there’s not.)
