I'm not an Abrego Garcia scholar. I don't know his life inside and out. But this obsession, this vendetta, is ridiculous [View all]

Noem makes my skin crawl...from shooting her puppy and a goat in the gravel pit to her spread-eagle antics with Trump's shaved ape knuckle dragging punk-assed thug Lewandowski.

But this Abrego Garcia thing reeks of the stench of desperation...a pathological need to prove that a 79 year old adjudicated rapist and convicted felon is keeping America "safe" from people like Garcia.

Meanwhile, "white collar crime" will never see the inside of a courthouse while this pig is in power. And, odds are 50-50 AT MINIMUM that he'll pardon Ghislane Maxwell.

Abrego Garcia has been taken into custody by ICE, his lawyer says
From CNN’s Priscilla Alvarez and Michael Williams

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement shortly after turning himself in, his lawyer said.

“Mr. Abrego Garcia was taken into custody by ICE this morning,” attorney Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg told a crowd outside an ICE facility in Baltimore, where he was ordered to report after being released from custody pending a trial on federal charges.

US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Abrego Garcia is being processed for deportation.

“Today, ICE law enforcement arrested Kilmar Abrego Garcia and are processing him for deportation,” Noem said on X.
