‘Maryland Man’ Democrats Rushed To Defend Called Human Smugglers At Least 500 Times, Docs Allege
Kilmar Abrego Garcia allegedly called a convicted migrant smuggler and another co-conspirator hundreds of times in a single year while running a human smuggling operation.
Federal prosecutors allege Abrego Garcia, an illegal migrant who has become one of the biggest names in the Trump administration’s national deportation agenda, used multiple phones to communicate with co-conspirators while smuggling foreign nationals across the U.S., according to court documents. The Salvadoran national purportedly called Jose Hernandez-Reyes, an illegal migrant previously convicted of alien smuggling, and another co-conspirator more than 500 times in 2022 alone.
Abrego Garcia became the face of the Trump administration’s hardline immigration enforcement agenda when he was deported to his home country of El Salvador earlier this year, despite a prior withholding of removal order that prohibited his repatriation. He was eventually flown back to the U.S. to face human smuggling charges in Tennessee, with Attorney General Pam Bondi accusing him of making over 100 trips smuggling illegal migrants.
A spokesperson for his attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The details were submitted in court as the Trump administration says it’s accumulated mounting evidence that Abrego Garcia participated in a years-long conspiracy to smuggle illegal migrants across the southern border while he lived unlawfully in the U.S. (Read more from “‘Maryland Man’ Democrats Rushed To Defend Called Human Smugglers At Least 500 Times, Docs Allege” HERE)
