What is overlooked in this case is that it was uncontested that he was, and is, an illegal alien. The gang membership was merely icing on the cake.

So why does our esteemed philosophy professor, Dr. Edward Feser, support such people on Twitter / X, constantly criticizing Trump, JD Vance, etc., for having done the common sense thing? Is the good Professor a never-Trumper?
Ed has my esteem as a philosopher and I mean that sincerely. When it comes to the law, not so much.
Why the big whoohaah about this one particular individual… It seems as though it was an excuse by the left to prove a point which ended up backfiring epically. I know we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but if it quacks…it’s a duck.
You understand that to the sorosphere lawfare artists and the Democratic operatives in robes, this hoodlum is an example of humanity to be preferred to the actual Maryland fathers working at and shopping at Home Depot.
Garcia also was charged for beating his common law wife on two different occasions. Why she would want him back is a question. She is being used IHO.
Senator Van Hollen is a grandstanding ass. All of a sudden he deems himself a knight in shining armor. Apparently there is a whole line of Congressional Dems that want to go to El Salvador.

Her Go Fund Me page had amassed upwards of $200k, that might be a factor contributing to the public narrative … But it’s my understanding that the restraining order she took out on him is still in effect.
It seems to me that, with their near-idolatry of illegals, the Left is committing the sin of Lot, elevating the demands of hospitality over the duties of a father, throwing his daughters to the Sodomite mob.
