Minnesota Govenor and former vice presidential candidate (Dem) Tim Walz’s daughter Hope Walz spoke her mind about the row over the deportation of Maryland’s Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was ‘mistakenly deported’ to El Salvador by the Donald Trump administration but now the White House asserted that they won’t bring him back as he is an MS-13 gang member. “If Jesus were alive today and in the United States, this administration would have already taken him and removed him from this country without due process,” Hope said in a video, adding that the administration would have claimed that Jesus is a member of the MS-13 gang.
“Some people don’t want to talk about that. It truly is baffling how clear and laid out everything is and there is still people standing by it. I believe in the good of people and like humanity, humans, you know…deep down at our core, like we care about each other… but that’s really being tested. Because how anyone is okay with this is terrifying to me,” Hope said urging people to speak up about it.
White House vs Kilmar Abrego Garcia
The court asked the Trump administration to bring back Garcia but when Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele came to meet Donald Trump in the White House, it became evident that the tacit understanding between the US and El Salvador is that Garcia is not coming back. The US administration said it would send a plane to Salvador if the government there decides to release Garcia. Bukele outrightly rejected the proposal, called it preposterous to even think of releasing a criminal.
Now it has become White House vs Garcia as the administration has been releasing unknown details about Garcia. Even President Donald Trump shared a photo of Garcia’s knuckles with Ms-13 tattooed on them, though the photo was called fake on social media. “This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back to the United States, because he is such “a fine and innocent person”,” Trump posted.
The government on Wednesday released documents from two interactions Abrego Garcia had with law enforcement or the courts system: a 2019 arrest that didn’t lead to charges or a conviction, but did result in his detention by immigration officials, and a 2021 protective order his wife filed against him alleging domestic violence, which she later decided against pursuing further after she said the couple had resolved their issues.
