Dem senator is going to El Salvador, uninvited, to lobby for release of MS-13 gang member

[Moonglow]

At least you did not deny you posted useless information. I will deny that I did that.

Of course, what else is a follower to do?

 

[Moonglow]

What he is doing, advocacy of terrorism, is illegal in El Salvador.
I imagine they will send him home, the first time, in deference to the USA.
The second time he may not be so lucky.
The next advocacy group that goes there will likely just be refused entry to El Salvador.
It's like a whole 'nother country down there.

Republican politicians at CECOT​

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited the prison in March.

• "If you come to our country illegally, this is one of the consequences you could face," Noem said in a video standing in front of a packed cell of prisoners.

Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) on Tuesday shared photos of himself at the prison.

• In a statement, he praised President Trump for the deportations and detentions.

Rep. Riley Moore (R-W. Va.) similarly shared photos on Tuesday, including one of him standing in front of a cell posing with thumbs up.

• "I leave now even more determined to support President Trump's efforts to secure our homeland" he wrote on X.

Five other GOP members visited El Salvador, per a photo shared by the U.S. Embassy in El Salvador. However, it doesn't say whether they visited the prison.

• Those lawmakers are Reps. Claudia Tenney (NY), Mike Kennedy (Utah), Carol Miller (W. Va.), Ron of Estes (Kansas) and Kevin Hern (Okla.), per journalist Marisa Kabas.
• Tenney said in a Thursday post on X that she visited the prison. She also praised Trump's deportations.
• A spokesperson for Miller did not respond to direct questions about the trip. The other representatives' offices did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
• The embassy's post, written in Spanish, said the delegation was "visiting the country to strengthen bilateral ties and discuss initiatives that promote economic development and mutual cooperation."

Ahhhh yes, reminiscent of the Viet Cong prisoner interviews of Americans.

You seriously cannot make this shit up.

Van Hollen, on the tax payer dime, is basking in the sun in Margaritaville with this degenerate gangbanging wifebeater - who has clearly been granted a generous degree of freedom, and is completely unharmed.



Meanwhile, another Maryland constituent had a member of the same gang murder her daughter, and the esteemed Senator hasn't even deigned to call her.

Far more important to soak up the Central American sun with this class act.



Democrats, not only are you proven to be absolutely shameless, soulless monsters.

But I am absolutely ecstatic to predict that you are giving yourselves the largest political self-own in history - given where the public is at the moment.



Like I said, you just cannot make this shit up.

As the Dems continue to sink lower and lower in the polls They grasp their ideology more tightly with every losing moment. It's breathtaking to behold.

I didn't even know that Van Hollen was still there, however this is great news!!

 

[theHawk]

LOL Dems are just driving more normies to the right.

They really have no clue. So out of touch.

 

[Rigby5]

The tables, clothing, etc., do not look like the prisons we were shown?
So is this image real of fake?

No sane person believes in arrest, detention, or deportation without the due process of a hearing.
Without due process, not only will there be mistakes, but there will be intentional abuses.

Wrong.
All I see in any of the images is water.
No margaritas.
And Kilmar has not been connected to ANY gang at all.
Nor was it legal to arrest, detain, or deport anyone without a hearing.

Even if it s real it is fake !

 

[Rigby5]

Every Dem in congress should go down there and have drinks with the wife beating illegal and broadcast it live on national tv.

Wrong.
A restraining order does not mean there was an actual crime, and it was rescinded by his wife many years ago.
Nor is he illegal, since he applied for asylum in 2011.

 

[Scoutster]

This is bullshit, seriously met in one of the world’s toughest prisons in El Salvador, in a hat and a nice fucking shirt.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Egads, spare us this Stockholm syndrome style hero worship. The man is a thug who beat his wife.

I want his due process observed, but this kind of behavior from you makes me gag.

 

[Scoutster]

If liberals keep this bullshit up with crap ass AI photos. He’s not walking out of there ever. You do realize what’s gonna happen soon?

Wrong.
Ever since the illegal tariffs, illegal deportations, and illegal government cuts, Trump has been in freefall in the polls.

Tariffs, immigration, and funding, are all functions of congress and not presidents, according to the Constitution.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

Yes, we see how to spit on yer fellow human.

An illegal, gang member, wife beater and human smuggler. That’s the kind of human you want to be associated with?

What fucking poll are you looking at? The majority want illegals deported, government spending cut and fair trade. Why the fuck wouldn’t you want that?

He was found to be a MS13 gang member by two immigration courts, he should have been deported years ago. And I find it sweet that a US senator is on a first name basis with a wife beating, human trafficking gangster.

Garcia is now with his pals.

His name is Kilmar.
And he has never been shown to have any gang connections at all, ever.
