This individual was a known human smuggler, a MS-13 gang member, an individual who was a wife-beater, and someone who was so perverted that he solicited nude photos from minors. And even his fellow human traffickers told him to knock it off, he was so sick in what he was doing and how he was treating small children, Noem said in her original, full answer.
I want to emphasize that President Trump and our Attorney General Pam Bondi and the vice president of the United States are lying when they say that Abrego García has been charged with a crime or is part of MS-13; that is a lie. And this is a lie to cover up what they did.
As absurd as was Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele's commentary about the Abrego Garcia case in the Oval Office on Monday, he was matched whopper-for-whopper by Trump administration officials.
