President Donald Trump isn’t mincing words when it comes to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien with gang ties who got exactly what he deserved: deportation. And now, the same Democrats who let the border bleed want to bring him back. Why? Because apparently, tattoos spelling “MS-13” across your knuckles don’t count as evidence anymore.
On Friday, President Trump posted a photo to Truth Social showing Abrego Garcia’s tattoo-covered hand, complete with symbols decoded to spell out “MS-13.” One knuckle has a marijuana leaf for “M,” another a smiley face for “S,” a cross for “1,” and a skull for “3.” To anyone with a functioning brain, the message is loud and clear: this guy is MS-13. But Democrats? They see a misunderstood artist.
“This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back to the United States, because he is such ‘a fine and innocent person,’” Trump wrote. “They said he is not a member of MS-13, even though he’s got MS-13 tattooed onto his knuckles, and two Highly Respected Courts found that he was a member of MS-13, beat up his wife, etc.”
Trump’s post came after investigative journalist Andy Ngo flagged a photo on TikTok where Abrego Garcia’s wife conveniently covered his hand—strategically hiding the incriminating tattoos while promoting her GoFundMe campaign to get him back into the U.S.

Let’s be crystal clear: Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not some harmless migrant. He’s a Salvadoran national who lived in this country illegally for years before being deported back to El Salvador under Trump’s lawful, no-nonsense immigration policy. Two separate judges ruled there was credible evidence that he was part of the infamous MS-13 death cult. He was arrested in a Home Depot parking lot while engaging with known gang members, and his presence in this country posed a danger to every American citizen.
But thanks to liberal activism and weak judicial rulings in 2019, Abrego Garcia was granted a temporary stay because he might face “persecution” from rival gang members if sent back home. That’s right—our legal system protected a gang-banger from other gang-bangers instead of protecting American citizens.
Now the Left is in full meltdown mode after Trump finally deported this thug to El Salvador’s CECOT supermax prison, a facility designed for exactly this kind of monster. Salvadoran Justice Minister Gustavo Villatoro confirmed that tattoos like the ones on Abrego Garcia’s hands are a major identifier of gang affiliation. “If you are not a member, you are not able to use any tattoo,” he said. Prison director Belarmino García agreed, saying these markings are no different than a gang uniform.
The idea that Democrats are defending this man—accused of gang activity, domestic abuse, and fraternizing with criminals—should tell every American exactly where their priorities lie. Not with the law. Not with the safety of U.S. citizens. But with radical open-border ideology.
President Trump is doing what Joe Biden never had the guts to do: putting Americans first and unapologetically cleaning up the mess at our border. He’s deporting thugs like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, cutting through the nonsense, and backing up law enforcement with real action.
The Trump Doctrine is back: If you come to this country illegally, break the law, and pledge allegiance to a gang of killers—you’re going back. No apologies. No exceptions. No “activist judge” is going to stop it this time.
