The Atlantic, known for its anti-Trump bias and most recently the debunked “Signalgate” tale, tried to stir outrage with a sob story titled “An ‘Administrative Error’ Sent a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison.” The piece casts Kilmer Armado Abrego-Garcia as a tragic victim—an innocent dad yanked off the street by Trump’s immigration enforcers and sent off to El Salvador.
But that version of events didn’t survive long.
Senator-turned-Vice President J.D. Vance unloaded on the story as yet another manipulative smear job from the anti-Trump press. When POLITICO’s Kyle Cheney amplified the Atlantic’s narrative, Vance came in swinging.
“Kyle Cheney, a ‘legal affairs reporter’ is apparently unable or unwilling to look at the facts here. In 2019, an Immigration Judge (under the first Trump administration) determined that the deported man was, in fact, a member of the MS-13 gang,” Vance began.
So much for “innocent.”
Abrego-Garcia, according to multiple legal findings, wasn’t just an illegal immigrant—he was identified as a member of the notorious MS-13 gang, the same gang that has terrorized communities across the country. On top of that, he reportedly ignored court orders and racked up multiple traffic violations.
“He also apparently had multiple traffic violations for which he failed to appear in court. A real winner. It is telling that the entire American media is going to run a propaganda operation today making you think an innocent ‘father of 3’ was apprehended by a gulag,” Vance added.
That “father of 3” label has become the media’s favorite smokescreen—emotional bait to distract from the real story: the United States enforcing its laws.
Vance emphasized that Abrego-Garcia had been through the proper legal process before being deported.
“Here are the relevant facts: 1) The man is an illegal immigrant with no right to be in our country. 2) An immigration judge determined he was a member of the MS-13 gang. 3) Because he is not a citizen, he does not get a full jury trial by peers. In other words, whatever ‘due process’ he was entitled to, he received,” Vance said.
In short, the Trump administration followed the law. There was no shadowy operation. No gulag. Just the lawful removal of a criminal alien who should never have been in the country in the first place.
Vance didn’t hold back in his final takedown of the media’s twisted priorities.
“Joe Biden sanctioned an invasion of the United States. We have approximately 20 million illegal aliens in this country. Their victims are measured in longer wait times for hospitals, overwhelmed schools, and murder victims the media largely ignored. The media has determined the real victims are the gang members we’re trying to get out of the country,” Vance concluded.
In a time when journalism has morphed into propaganda, voices like Vance’s are rare—and crucial. The American people deserve the truth, not weaponized sob stories meant to score political points. And this time, the media’s mask slipped, big time.
