A Democrat Congressman spent Memorial Day attempting to visit a deported illegal alien with ties to MS-13 who stands accused of beating his wife and trafficking other illegal aliens.
Democrat Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) attempted to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien with ties to MS-13 who was deported to his home country of El Salvador, on a day reserved for honoring America’s fallen soldiers.
Ivey even referred to Abrego Garcia, who was erroneously dubbed a “Maryland man” by much of the media despite being an illegal alien, as “my constituent” in a post on X. “Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia,” the Maryland Democrat wrote in the post. “Let his lawyer and I check on him.”
Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

“I’m the Congressman who represents Kilmar,” Ivey said in a video. “I came all the way down from the United States,” he went on to say before complaining that he was unable to visit with the Salvadoran citizen.
Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador, where he remains imprisoned in the country’s Terrorism Confinement Center, a prison for members of violent gangs that have plagued the Central American nation. Multiple courts found that Abrego Garcia is connected to MS-13, a vicious gang that the Trump administration designated as a foreign terror organization.
Abrego Garcia also stands accused of beating his wife. Abrego Garcia’s wife even filed a request for a protective order against him, claiming that he bragged that he could kill her and get away with it. The wife of the illegal alien claims that Abrego Garcia “told my ex-mother-in-law that even if he kills me no one can do anything to him.”

“Me and my kids are afraid now. He kicked me, pushed me, slapped me in the face and threatened me,” she said, according to the legal document.
Abrego Garcia is also suspected of trafficking other illegal aliens into the United States. Body-camera footage from the Tennessee Highway Patrol reveals that one law enforcement agent suspected Abrego Garcia of trafficking illegal aliens after he pulled him over.
“He’s getting paid to haul these people, probably to Maryland, I would say,” an officer says on the footage after speaking with Abrego Garcia, who was driving a car full of men who claimed not to speak English or have driver’s licenses.
Ivey is only the latest Democrat to fly to El Salvador in hopes of visiting the illegal alien. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), who similarly claimed that Abrego Garcia is a “constituent” of his, visited the illegal alien last month. The Democrat did not, however, ask the man if he had any connections to MS-13.
Three more Congressman — Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL), Robert Garcia (D-CA), and Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ) — traveled to the Central American country, but were denied a meeting with Abrego Garcia. They instead met with the United States Ambassador to El Salvador and called on him to advocate for the illegal alien’s release.
Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele confirmed that he will not return Abrego Garcia to the United States during a meeting with President Donald Trump and administration officials in the Oval Office last month, which came on the heels of a Supreme Court order for the administration to “facilitate” the return of Abrego Garcia to the United States.
“The question is preposterous, how can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?” Bukele said in response to a journalist who asked if he would facilitate the man’s return to the United States. “I’m not very fond of releasing terrorists into our country … we just turned the murder capital of the world into the safest country in the western hemisphere and you want us to go back?” Bukele went on to say. “That’s not going to happen.”
