From the Daily Caller: Democratic Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar suggested Democratic lawmakers made a strategic mistake by rallying around a deported illegal migrant accused of human trafficking and being affiliated with the MS-13 gang.
Cuellar, who represents a district bordering Mexico that is three-quarters Hispanic, criticized his Democratic colleagues’ decision to make their defense of reputed MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia a focal point in their disagreement with the administration’s deportation policies. Congressional Democrats have traveled to El Salvador to press for Abrego Garcia’s release from the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) prison and return to the United States despite his alleged ties to a criminal gang.
Though the Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to “facilitate” the return of Abrego Garcia, Trump officials have argued that they no longer have jurisdiction over the deported illegal non-citizen given his detention in El Salvador.
“This is not the right issue to talk about due process,” Cuellar told “The Brian Kilmeade Show” on Fox News Radio Friday. “This is not the right case. This is not the right person to be saying ‘We need to bring him back to the United States.’”
Cuellar added, “Democrats should not take [on] this issue. When you look at immigration is this the immigration case you want to take to fight on? In my opinion, absolutely no.”
While speaking with Kilmeade, Cuellar also praised the Trump administration for gaining control of the border, as he noted that apprehensions are now at record lows.
