MS-13 thug and known abuser Kilmar Abrego Garcia appeared in a Nashville federal courtroom Friday, pleading not guilty to human trafficking charges—despite overwhelming evidence tying him to a nearly decade-long illegal smuggling operation.
Decked out in a red jumpsuit, the career criminal stood before the judge as he begged for pre-trial release, even while facing serious federal charges for transporting undocumented migrants across the U.S.—a human trafficking pipeline that stretched from Central America into American communities.
Abrego Garcia was indicted last week by a federal grand jury in Tennessee on one count of conspiracy to transport illegal immigrants and another count of unlawful transportation of undocumented migrants.
According to the unsealed indictment, he and his co-conspirators—spanning El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, and the U.S.—ran the smuggling operation from 2016 through 2025.
The scale of the crime is jaw-dropping. If convicted, Abrego Garcia could face up to 10 years in federal prison for every single person he trafficked. And there may be dozens—if not hundreds—of victims.
But the human trafficking charges are just the start for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
According to a federal motion for detention, one of Garcia’s co-conspirators told investigators that the MS-13 member was involved in the murder of a rival gang member’s mother—yet another brutal example of how this violent cartel wages war far beyond the borders of El Salvador.
What’s worse? We’re only hearing about this now because Fox News uncovered bodycam footage from 2022, showing Garcia being caught red-handed trafficking illegals in Tennessee. And yet—in an outrageous dereliction of duty—Biden’s FBI told officers to release him. Biden’s ICE? They didn’t even bother showing up.
Charlie Kirk exposed the video, asking what many Americans are now wondering: Why are violent criminals like this being released under Biden’s DOJ?
Meanwhile, former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi announced last week that Garcia will eventually be deported—but only after the DOJ uncovered that human trafficking was literally his full-time job. The DOJ also confirmed Garcia made over 100 smuggling runs into the U.S. and had a disturbing history of physically abusing women.
“THIS is the kind of monster that’s been allowed to freely operate under Biden’s broken immigration system,” said journalist Nick Sortor. “This is what ‘catch and release’ really means.”
If there’s ever been a clearer reason to shut the border, crack down on gangs, and deport foreign criminals on sight, this is it.
