Leavitt describes Abrego Garcia as "hiding in Maryland" and says, "based on the sensationalism of many of the people in this room, you would think we deported a candidate for father of the year"

Everyone must decide how they can best resist. I am having a hard time dealing with advice to "Keep your head down" when I remember that my parents generation fought Fascism to the death. It is my turn. MAGA Fascism MUST be faced, fought, and defeated.
he wasnt HIDING either. he did sneak in, but he got busted and got a waiver from a judge. he had been doing the "right" thing since 2019 iirc. reporting to ICE regularly. he did nothing wrong.
Trump literally said he wants 5 more CECOT prisons for Americans who don't agree with him....so....it was built in less than a year. Like 7months. Let all that sink in 😭 we are for real in a constitutional crisis.
what are the odds they pick her up anyway... on a friday. even as an 'oopsie' they would keep her there until monday. thats fucked up.. they openly dont care what happens theres no telling what theyd do to set an example
I wouldn't bet against it. Pretty sure it happens all the time for other stuff as well.
I'm betting they are making it more and more regular and we just don't know it yet.
I mean if the other candidate was McCain or Romney, sure, sit this one out to try to pressure the Dems to get a more left leaning candidate, sure, sounds reasonable.
However, this time, the other candidate was Hitler.
They've done the same thing with every young black man summarily executed by police in the streets. Call them gangsters, mention they had THC in their systems, etc.
When Reagan took office, less than a week in, he had his press secretary go on air and say that nuns who were raped and murdered deserved it because they helped poor people.
Being a Republican press secretary requires you to be utterly evil.
Like she might be up for mother of the year. She should be up on charges of fraud, bad faith, malicious prosecution, slander, obstructing justice, witness intimidation, suppression of evidence, falsely testifying, and all other crimes associated with being a notorious propagandist. #CriminalMinds
Except even if he was a shitty father, he is still innocent of any crime in either country. And yes he was hiding from the gang violence in El Salvador and with our nation's blessing in the form of an order to not deport to El Salvador. This is why the world is reevaluating their positions with us.
There are so many people who live here who are scared to leave it. Thinking of my French mom and my Filipino coworker. Who knows what will happen when they try to get back into the country…
I know for a fact that he’s a much better father than the convicted criminal in the Oval Office who had his goons kidnap this innocent man and send him to a prison camp without due process.
THAT'S. NOT. THE. POINT. And she knows it. If she believes this is ok because of what he's accused of, she doesn't believe in the very idea of America. She should ask what JC would do. He certainly wouldn't do this shit.
They love to demonize or diminish someone’s character so their cult members can justify/deny the fact that freedom in America is being eroded right in front of our eyes.
That man was a union apprentice, learning a trade to support his wife and children. I retired from the same local where he worked. If he belonged to MS13 (or whatever) he would have been weeded out of the program. His employer and his co-workers would have driven him away.
So he was now supposedly hiding in Maryland, yet he was regularly checking in with ICE as he was required to do? Which is it? Was he hiding or was he following the terms set by ICE for him to check in?
I got him mixed up with the other people who were illegally funneled to El Salvador, and with the fact that Trump would like to start shipping American Citizens there.
If being a terrible father means you should be sent to die in a prison in El Salvador, then I can think of a ton of Republican politicians that need to be on the next plane. Starting with Donald Trump.
(1 of 3)Is there any purpose in suggesting that all immigrants are murderers? The intent is to increase fear and to provide a smoke screen from understanding that this man was perhaps an illegal immigrant but was designated as able to stayby a court.It's inhumane to put someone in a place
(2of 3) potentially that might include torture for any human.. This is America where generally we try to adhere to some modicum of human concern of others rights.If fear exists facts can be ignored and the actors in this administration can then elicit more great of doing anything or designated
(3 of 3) idiosyncratic way which might result in removal without due process to a scary country that one left because of internal abuses of its citizens. Remove to one's country, but not a prison if an illegal immigrant. If it is a mistake, ask to be released from prison.
Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, entered the US illegally sometime around 2011, but an immigration judge in 2019, after reviewing evidence, withheld his removal. That meant he could not be deported to El Salvador but could be deported
to another country. A gang in his native country, the immigration judge found, had been “targeting him and threatening him with death because of his family’s pupusa business.” (CNN , APRIL 14, 2025)

This is the weakest, most pathetic, whimpy ass administration ever, that they can’t even figure out how to negotiate a return. biden could do that in his sleep.
They absolutely should sue for libel and defamation. Make her show proof that what she says is true which is something this administration has been unable to do so far.
She works for a convicted felon, rapist, traitor, grifter, liar, draft dodger, adulterer, and all around amoral rotten to his core poor excuse of a man....so Leavitt making a statement like that shows how fucked up she is. Sit the fuck down and STFU dimwit.
She actually has the audacity to be all pissy because people haven’t moved on from this. I truly believe this administration didn’t think we would make this an issue for more than a few days.
It seems like he'd qualify for that honor, given the fact that he lived with, cared for, provided for, and was once present for his kids. Now, can we say the same of those who took him?
Too bad the administration failed to bring Garcia before a judge to prove their allegations.
He reported each year to immigration authorities - how is that "hiding"?
He wasn't deported, assuming that means a legal method of removing someone from a country. He was abducted, physically abused, and,put at risk of being murdered. There was nothing legal about it
The law isn't making a moral judgement about Abrego Garcia's parenting skills. Or even if he may be or was ever a gang member. Under the principles of due process as outlined in the 5th & 14th amdts, Abrego Garcia has the right to face his accusers, see the evidence against him & defend himself.
I don’t think he was alive for more than a day or two after arriving in El Salvador. The only way out of this is to continue to lie, deny, distract and defy until people forget.
It makes sense. They are trying so hard to paint him as a criminal, someone whose life others shouldn’t be concerned about. I just hope he is still alive.
It's the other way around. Public officials have a higher threshold that they must meet to sue citizens for defamation if the citizen only speaks of their public official acts.
It's both. The federal government has sovereign immunity except where it has waived that immunity and courts agree it hasn't waived immunity for defamation.
Also, New York v Sullivan established a higher standard when public figures sue for defamation.
I hope there's a kind and compassionate team of lawyers willing to work pro bono to represent this family and sue the asses off of each and every individual who is spreading lies and defamation about this man.
He wasn't "deported." He was trafficked into a maximum security prison with no trial or criminal conviction whatsoever, in the country where he had a standing non-removal order. It violates several laws and multiple constitutional amendments.
I still don’t understand how the press accepts this as “deported”… deported is removed to your original country. What they’ve done is put them in a concentration camp. Period.
She is literally covering up state sanctioned human trafficking. She should likely be charged with accessory to murder. Why are we talking about defamation?
“Mr Ábrego García's wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, a US citizen, has said the Trump and Bukele administrations "continue to play political games with his life".
What the fuck does she know about his parenting!!! Take a look in the mirror Karoline and you’ll see a mother who willingly goes to her job where she repeats lies to the American people day after day.
Sad thing is as you were listing that I couldn’t tell if you were talking about Trump or Hegseth, then tweak some more details and you’ve got RFK Jr and who else in that administration?
They need to be with other people who will take pleasure in inflicting suffering on others. What I find most sickening about this administration isn’t their indifference to suffering caused by their policies, but the fact that the policies are intended to cause suffering, and they love it.
It’s as though all of those years on this earth, that could have expanded their worldview and make them care more about other people, instead allowed them to grow smaller and give less fucks about anyone who isn’t part of their circle.
it really depends on the list. if it included "fucking a dead animal" i'd know for sure rfk is on it.. tho maybe hegseth too. that wild turkey really gets him going.
RFK Jr: Freezer full of road kill.
Hegseth: Freezer full of Jager.
Both: addicts, rapey, 3 wives, serial cheater, racist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic, eugenicist, publicly called out by family to dissuade Senate appointment, I could go on.
RFK Jr: Brings home putrid, chainsawed whale on roof minivan
i know RFK Jr cut "special" holes in that whale corpse. he sampled the blowhole for sure. his midsection smelled like it for weeks. he probably bragged about it, too. how it was "totally zeppelin, seattle" or something. god hes fucking gross. he looks like what would happen if 2 prunes could fuck
Barbie has no argument. No facts, just lies. Her "father of the year" is a slur, invoking the idea that Garcia doesn't deserve any assumption of humanity as if by nature of who he is (a brown person) he could not possibly be the caliber of a man who could be father of the year.
What has to happen in life to make someone such a hateful, evil person as these people? I’ve endured some serious shit and been in dark places in my life, but it’s never destroyed my ability to have empathy for another human being, if anything it’s enhanced it. These are defective, disgusting people
Leviticus 19:33-34:
"When an alien is residing with you in your land, you shall not mistreat him. The alien residing with you shall be treated as the native among you; you shall love him as yourself…..".
Send the cherry-picking Christians to El Salvador for a few weeks.
The one that killed everybody on earth by flood because his perfect creation, an image of himself, was too evil to deal with.
That’s the one I’m guessing.
It isn't just deporting. It's sending people to a prison where the suffering is incredibly horrible and prisoners are treated like animals. And it isn't just about Abrego Garcia.
What so enraging it that they’re the ones that admitted they had mistakenly deported him. Now they are trashing him and leaving him to rot. I always wondered as a kid how people could do the holocaust. Now I’m seeing it firsthand. I’ve never been so angry and disgusted.
First he was in this country legally second were supposed to have a constitution that requires due process and thirdly we don't send anyone to an El Salvadorian prison and fourthly when the courts order you to return him your supposed to obey the order!!!
Ms. Leavitt is married to a multi-millionaire who is 33 years her senior. Someone should tell her that "Father of the Year" is not the same as "Sugar Daddy of the Year."
She's such trash. Mocking a man they wrongfully deported- who’s now sitting in a Salvadoran prison & instead of taking accountability-- throws out a ‘father of the year’ jab. Nothing says shitty leadership like sarcasm aimed at the collateral damage of their inhumane & unconstitutional system. 🗑️

Shame on Karoline Leavitt.
A man that your own DOJ *confirmed* was innocent.
That's all that should matter here.
She should see how the rest of us feel!!!
Yes,for that's what the cross shows.
The Chief Justice(Pilate)knew Jesus was innocent&washed his hands; letting the baying, bloodthirsty haters of the day have their way
Pick a team
💙 or 👺?
For Americans who don't agree with him.

Shame on us for allowing them to get back into power :(
However, this time, the other candidate was Hitler.
That's what makes it insane.
She’s ugly all over

She knows god damned well that she’s lying.
"He who acts to save his country from tyranny, domestic terrorism, Project 2025, and radical right wing criminals, violates no laws.”
Well, maybe this spite house spokescunt has more chutzpah than I'm giving her credit for: that's all this presidency is.
What part of that is in doubt, Malibu Goebbels? That he lived in Maryland? Or that he’s a father?
I got him mixed up with the other people who were illegally funneled to El Salvador, and with the fact that Trump would like to start shipping American Citizens there.
I just didn't want to spread misinformation about the man.
Nice try, but you were pretty easy to track down.
Not that it’d be ok if he was, but she’s lying.
Vile bitch.
Clearly. This administration doesn’t care. This is performative for the base and the 1,500 J6 domestic terrorists he pardoned for his personal army.
Fuck this. Dox
Or is it all from a "confidential informant" with no other proof? Or (likely) just made up completely?
He reported each year to immigration authorities - how is that "hiding"?
Who will they come for next?
It's the other way around. Public officials have a higher threshold that they must meet to sue citizens for defamation if the citizen only speaks of their public official acts.

How about we deport her husband and see how that goes.
He also raped a woman.
He also said he'd probably try sleep with hia daughter if she wasnt.
a) certain people are disposable, and
b) they’re the only correct arbiters of who those people should be.
The rest of us only survive by trying to figure out how to stay alive around them.

Had sex with women who looked like his daughter.
Sometimes in HER bed.
Posed for many pictures with her draped across him.
According to Mary Trump, when she visited, he often had Ivanka on his lap.

Lying Leavitt just piling on the crap, as the poor man man's wife and children go through psychological torture.
And to think of her praying before she does it??
Allegedly.
We know you're breaking the law by not complying with court orders.
Don't think you won't be on their list one day Baghdad Barbie.
Kilmar was in an apprenticeship for sheet metal working.
Loathe them.
IF HE HAD DUE PROCESS WE WOULD KNOW THAT.
Isn't that literally what they say a good dad would do? Honest hustle to provide for his family?
