Sen. Ted Cruz Criticizes Democrats for Supporting Alleged MS-13 Member
Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, sharply condemned Democratic lawmakers for advocating on behalf of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national and alleged MS-13 gang member recently deported from the U.S. Cruz, referring to the Democrats as "crazy town," claimed their actions prioritized illegal immigrants and gang members over American citizens. His remarks follow a trip by Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen and other Democrats to El Salvador, where they sought to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return to the U.S.
Cruz argued that the Democratic Party has become increasingly extreme in its opposition to former President Donald Trump, claiming it reflects a "Trump derangement syndrome." He expressed disbelief that Democrats would align themselves with individuals accused of violent crimes, stating, “The vast majority of Americans don’t want more gang members and violent criminals in this country.”
Democrats contend that Abrego Garcia is innocent and was wrongfully deported. However, law enforcement records indicate that he was identified as an MS-13 member by the Prince George’s County Police Gang Unit following his arrest in Maryland in 2019. A federal immigration court later ruled that he posed a danger and was not eligible for release.
Cruz’s comments come amid escalating tensions surrounding immigration policy in the U.S., with recent reports highlighting domestic violence allegations against Abrego Garcia made by his wife. As the controversy unfolds, debates continue regarding the rights of immigrants, due process, and public safety.
In response to inquiries about the allegations before his visit to El Salvador, Van Hollen maintained that legal matters should be resolved in court and emphasized adherence to constitutional rights.
This ongoing dispute highlights the polarized views on immigration policy between the two major political parties in America.
