United States President Donald Trump on Friday shared ‘proof’ that a deported illegal migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the notorious MS-13 cartel.
Trump posted a statement from the Oval Office with what appeared to be a digitally altered image that he said was the hand of Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father, who was deported to a brutal El Salvador prison following officials’ unproven claims he is a member of the MS-13 gang.
Abrego Garcia, who has become a martyr to liberals, is the subject of a string of court orders up to the United States’ top court demanding that the Trump administration “facilitate” his return to the US, where he has been living for the past 14 years.
The administration, however, has insisted without evidence that he is a gang member, even though officials initially admitted his deportation was an administrative error.
However, Trump, in a post on his Truth Social media account on Friday night, posted a picture of Abrego Garcia’ hand with the caption: “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.”
“They said he is not a member of MS-13, even though he’s got MS-13 tattooed onto his knuckles, and two Highly Respected Courts found that he was a member of MS-13, beat up his wife, etc.”
He added, “I was elected to take bad people out of the United States, among other things. I must be allowed to do my job.”
This comes after Trump criticized a Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen following his trip to El Salvador to meet Abrego Garcia.
