DHS documents also show gang affiliation, accusations of domestic abuse

Democrats have chosen to fight President Donald Trump to have returned to the United States an illegal alien who was deported to a prison in El Salvador.

The El Salvadoran president has confirmed the inmate is not being released or returned to the U.S., so that end of the arguments appear to be nearing a conclusion.

But the details about the inmate still are being revealed.

A report from the Daily Caller, for example, explains that Department of Homeland Security documents show that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged member of MS-13, a terror organization, was stopped in 2022 on suspicion of human trafficking.

It was during a traffic stop by a Tennessee Highway Patrol officer that Garcia "was found to be transporting eight passengers across the country," according to sources for the Tennessee Star.

"He allegedly did not have a valid driver's license and was suspected of trafficking the passengers but was let go at the request of the Federal Bureau of Investigation," the report confirmed.

The traffic stop was triggered by "speeding" and the driver's difficulty maintaining a lane.

Garcia's ID was a temporary license from Maryland that is given to non-citizens.

He explained at the time he was driving the eight people from Texas to Maryland, the report said, and none of the passengers had any luggage. They all provided the same home address, Garcia's, the report said.

Garcia was given a warning.

Further in Garcia's background is the fact that DHS confirms he is on the "Threat Screen Center's Transnational Organized Crime Watchlist."

And the Department of Justice told the Daily Caller Garcia is identified as a member of MS-13.

He was subject to deportation when the Trump administration sent him to El Salvador, but the only glitch appears to have been a removal restriction he was not supposed to be sent to that country.

Further, reports confirm he had been the subject of complaints by his wife of domestic abuse.

The Daily Caller News Foundation said Jennifer Vasquez Sura sought a domestic violence restraining order against him in 2021.

Sura now is publicly advocating for his return.

DHS, in a statement, said, "Kilmar Abrego Garcia had a history of violence and was not the upstanding 'Maryland Man' the media has portrayed him as. According to court filings, Garcia's wife sought a domestic violence restraining order against him, claiming he punched, scratched, and ripped off her shirt, among other harm."

The facts that are being revealed are making it harder for Democrats to continue identifying Garcia as a "family man."

The Daily Caller News Foundation reported the DHS documents show, "Officers found Abrego Garcia loitering in a Home Depot parking lot on March 28, 2019, wearing 'a Chicago Bulls hat and a hoodie with rolls of money covering the eyes, ears and mouth of the presidents on the separate denominations,' the initial Prince George's County Police Department Gang Field Interview Sheet states. 'Wearing the Chicago Bulls hat represents that they are a member in good standing with the MS-13,' the document states. 'Officers contacted a past proven and reliable source of information, who advised Kilmar Armando ABREGO-GARCIA is an active member of MS-13 with the Westerns clique."
