Rep. Maxine Dexter (D-Ore.) has announced she will travel to El Salvador to personally demand the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia — a deported illegal alien with alleged ties to the recently designated terrorist organization MS-13.
This is yet another example of Democrats prioritizing criminals over law-abiding Americans.
Dexter’s press release on Friday, dripping with sanctimonious outrage, claims Garcia’s deportation is a “constitutional crisis” and a “government-funded kidnapping.” She wails that Garcia, a so-called “legal U.S. resident,” had his “due process rights ripped away” and is now languishing in a Salvadoran prison.
But let’s cut through the leftist spin: Garcia was deported in March after the Trump administration identified him as a suspected MS-13 member, a designation backed by a 2019 Maryland police report and a Department of Homeland Security investigation that flagged him for potential human trafficking in 2022.
Court documents reveal Garcia was stopped in Tennessee with eight people crammed in his car, all suspiciously claiming the same address and carrying no luggage.
He played dumb with officers, pretending he couldn’t speak English. And then there’s the 2021 protective order filed by his own wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, who accused him of physical abuse and documented bruises he allegedly inflicted. This is the “family man” Dexter is championing?
President Trump himself has highlighted photos of Garcia’s knuckles, reportedly sporting MS-13 tattoos, though Democrats cry “Photoshop” to dodge the truth.
“Congresswoman Maxine Dexter, M.D. (OR-03) announced that she will travel to El Salvador to demand the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia,” according to the press release.
“Mr. Abrego Garcia, a legal U.S. resident, was wrongfully deported to El Salvador—a fact the Trump Administration has acknowledged. He is now being held in a foreign prison, despite a clear, unanimous ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that the federal government must facilitate his return to the U.S.”
“A legal U.S. resident has had his due process rights ripped away and is now being held indefinitely in a foreign prison. This is not just one family’s nightmare; it is a constitutional crisis that should outrage every single one of us,” said Congresswoman Dexter in a statement. “I will travel to El Salvador to confront this crisis head on. Our constitutional rights are on the line.”
Dexter’s X video statement is a masterclass in Democrat delusion. She claims Trump’s actions are an “assault on the rule of law” and warns that “no one is safe in Trump’s America.”

This reckless publicity stunt follows closely on the heels of Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s (D-Md.) similar trip to El Salvador, where he held a photo-op with Abrego Garcia and declared him a victim of U.S. policy.
Rather than demanding justice for Americans like Rachel Morin — a Maryland mother allegedly murdered by an illegal alien with gang ties — Democrats are traveling to foreign countries to plead for the release of violent offenders.
