Gee, why did the cops think that Abrego-Garcia was a human smuggler when they pulled over his car, loaded to the roof with immigrant men, none of whom had any luggage?
It wasn't just those circumstances, which are already highly suspicious.
It also turned out that Abrego-Garcia was driving a car owned by a known human smuggler used for human smuggling.
Who Abrego-Garcia admitted was "his boss."
Reported El Salvadoran stopped in car owned by alien who pleaded guilty to human smuggling charges
The owner of the car in which Kilmar Abrego Garcia was stopped by police is Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes, who pleaded guilty to smuggling illegal aliens into the United States in 2020, two years before Garcia's deportation. Reyes himself was deported after the guilty plea and returned to the country illegally.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the deported El Salvadoran at the center of the Trump administration's immigration battle with the courts, was stopped by police in an SUV owned by a man who was himself deported after pleading guilty to smuggling illegal aliens in 2020, according to court and Homeland Security Department intelligence documents reviewed by Just the News.
These new details follow Just the News reporting last week that Abrego Garcia was flagged in 2022 by the Biden administration as a "suspect alien" who was possibly involved in "human smuggling/trafficking" after a traffic stop in Tennessee raised the suspicions of a state trooper, according to internal Homeland Security documents.
The Trump administration alleges Abrego Garcia is a member of the notorious El Salvadoran gang MS-13 based on Maryland police identifications and deported him last month back to his home country.
Family and lawyers deny any connection to the gang and are fighting the deportation, arguing it violates a 2019 order that protected Abrego Garcia from being sent back to El Salvador. Meanwhile, a growing body of evidence suggests the illegal immigrant wasn't the peaceful, law-abiding father "from Maryland," as his wife and lawyers have claimed in the news media.
When Abrego Garcia was stopped in 2022 by the Tennessee state trooper, Homeland Security intelligence created a record of the encounter, Just the News reported. The El Salvadoran was driving a black 2001 Chevrolet Suburban and said he was transporting his passengers to Maryland from Texas for construction work, although the state trooper found no luggage in the SUV.
Just one of those spur-of-the-moment Maryland-to-Texas group taxi rides.
Homeland Security documents identified the owner of the vehicle as Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes. Abrego Garcia told the state trooper that the owner was his boss. However, that SUV was flagged separately by the Homeland Security Investigations Baltimore field office as belonging to a target they suspected of human trafficking or smuggling, the documents show.
"Vehicle is used by HSI Baltimore target in human smuggling/trafficking operation. Vehicle makes trips to southern border to pick up non-citizens," the record reads. The memo says the Baltimore HSI case agent should be notified if the vehicle is encountered.
The car itself was on the DHS "watch list" for vehicles used in human smuggling.
It was just a misunderstanding, could've happened to anyone! Anyone!
I don't know whose crack this is. Someone must have put this crack in my crack-pipe, officer, because I've never seen this crack before.
Why do I have a crack-pipe? Funny story. I got sick of restaurants making you use those paper straws and so I thought, "Hey, a crack pipe is shaped like a straw." So that's why I have it. For drinking soders. Caffeine free soders.
But there's no crack in this crack pipe, except whatever crack someone else put in it.
I bet it was the same guy who smuggled Hunter Biden's cocaine into the White House. Maryland is near DC, you know.
