This past week, the Trump administration revealed more incriminating evidence about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal alien recently deported to El Salvador despite a withholding of removal to that country. Yet liberal cable networks CNN and MSNBC have mostly ignored the latest developments, and instead have continued to obfuscate the truth about this so-called “Maryland man.”
CIUDAD JUÁREZ, Mexico— In this border city, large groups of migrants marching toward the U.S. have all but halted. Migrant encampments are disappearing, and few people are trying to sneak across remote desert areas to start new lives in the U.S.
“The door is closed,” said Yorman Briceño, a Venezuelan migrant staying at a church-run shelter in Ciudad Juárez, just across from the border from El Paso, Texas.
He had been waiting about six months for his Jan. 23 appointment to request asylum in the U.S. under a Biden-era program, until it was scrapped by President Trump on Jan. 20. Now, after watching how others have been rounded up in immigration sweeps and extradited by the U.S. to a notorious prison in El Salvador, he said he wasn’t even sure he wanted to go anymore.
A Massachusetts family is demanding answers from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), complaining its agents smashed a car window with a large hammer and detained a man whom they say had applied for asylum.
A lawyer for the family also claims agents were not looking for the man in the car, Juan Francisco Mendez, when they grabbed him on Monday in New Bedford while he was driving to a dental appointment. He is now believed to have been taken into Ice detention.
The lawyer, Ondine Galvez-Sniffin, told the Associated Press in an interview that the agents claimed they were looking for another man with a different name before they dragged Mendez and his wife out of the car.

On Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi released police records showing Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the “Maryland man” who was deported to his native El Salvador by the Trump administration, was in fact a member of MS-13 and was in the United States illegally.
Contrary to the assertions of Garcia’s lawyers (and many in the corporate press) that there’s no evidence he’s a member of MS-13 and that the cops just made it all up, the police affidavit from Garcia’s arrest in March 2019 shows that he was arrested with multiple other confirmed MS-13 gang members, was wearing clothing associated with the gang, and was identified by a confidential police informant as an MS-13 gang member with a rank and a moniker.
There are some things that just leave you speechless, and what happened in the White House Press Room today is one of them. And it didn’t just leave me speechless — it left the reporter pool stunned, too.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that she’d be holding an impromptu press briefing with a special guest on Wednesday afternoon, and if you missed it, it was a doozy.
In just 60 seconds, Karoline Leavitt SHREDDED the media straight to their faces for defending the so-called "Maryland father," a foreign illegal MS-13 gang member, over a real Maryland Mother, Rachel Morin, who was brutally murdered by a different illegal.

We here at American Thinker have noted that the current Democrat plan regarding illegal aliens is to force them into the legal system to run out the clock. Now, Vice President Vance has chimed in to make the same point. (And no, much as I’d like to think it’s true, he probably hasn’t been reading American Thinker. Instead, what he says is common sense.)
Chicago announced they’re not doing Cinco de Mayo this year. The parade has been canceled for the most obvious reason: ICE likely would’ve had a detention buffet. I’m not kidding. The city decided to close shop on the celebration to avoid their illegals being arrested and deported. It shows that state officials who declare they won’t help ICE is just empty talk—these are federal operations. Federal immigration officers can still arrest and detain illegals, and they’re doing it…
It’s worth reminding readers of the reasons the man being described as the innocent “Maryland father” was “mistakenly” deported from Los Estados Unidos.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is now cooling his heels in the most famous El Salvadoran prison in the world. He’s gotten more love from America’s left than, say, the 14-year-old girl MS-13 hacked up with machetes in 2019 in Maryland. It’s strange, isn’t it? Ariana Funes-Diaz was hacked with a machete and hit with a baseball bat, and her lifeless and bloodied body was left in a ditch, but nobody seems to remember or care.
The small boat whipped up spray as it swerved to avoid the pursuing US coastguard vessel.
Crashing over the choppy waters of the San Diego bay, it raced up the harbour, weaving and feinting, columns of smoke bursting upwards on its starboard side when a concussion grenade was hurled on board.
The ending, when it came, was sudden.
US officials are pleading for help at the Canadian border, claiming the “most dangerous people are coming through” the largely unchecked crossing.
The number of illegal entries from the often-overlooked northern border have plummeted since President Trump’s election in November, but the gains have mostly stalled in recent months as Customs and Border Patrol has turned its full attention to Mexico.
“They had to shift manpower to the southwest border which opened up an even greater opportunity for terrorists to come through our northern border,” said Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), who co-chairs the Northern Border Security Caucus.
President Donald Trump signed a memorandum authorizing a “military mission for sealing the southern border of the United States and repelling invasions,” giving the U.S. military the ability to occupy public land along the border in order to secure it.
The directive, released late Friday, allows the military to use federal lands for military activities, including constructing border barriers and using “detection and monitoring equipment” to deter would-be migrant invaders.
The globalists put us here. Nationalism and well protected borders are the way out and path forward. It just took a president with the balls to actually do it. pic.twitter.com/BlNIFPh1Kq

I am the clinical lead in an asylum hotel in the north of England. We’re right in the centre of town. Though we try to keep a low profile, that’s not always easy with 24-hour security guards in hi-vis patrolling the entrance. The building is modern, but it was never intended to house hundreds of people long-term. It’s starting to degrade quickly. My role is to provide a GP service within the hotel.
Vincent “Rocco” Vargas was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, California. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and went on to serve three combat deployments with the 2nd Battalion of the elite 75th Ranger Regiment. In 2009 Vargas became a Federal Agent with the Department of Homeland Security, and was a medic with the Special Operations Group. After temporarily leaving his federal career for film and television, he returned to the Border Patrol’s Strategic Planning and Analysis Directorate (SPAD) in March 2025—while continuing to work with veterans, and as a writer, entrepreneur and motivational speaker. He runs the popular Borderland and VinnyRoc podcasts.
Vincent Vargas is a giant of a man who fills the screen from his home ‘operations room’ throughout our interview. He refuels on protein bars as we talk, while making it clear just how plausible he was as an army sergeant (in real life) or as the Capitan Del Camino of a fictional outlaw biker gang (on Mayans M.C.). His fame acquired from appearing in films and on TV also guaranteed publicity for his SPAD appointment. While good-humoured—and slightly disappointed he can’t also offer me a protein bar—it’s clear he is entirely serious about going back into homeland security. Could he really be giving up acting to concentrate on a real-life role in Border Patrol?
John Ladd, a border rancher from Arizona, says that since Trump took office, illegals crossing through his property have gone from 50-200 per day to only 3 per day with no getaways.
