Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a fiery defense of American safety by calling out Senator Chris Van Hollen’s shameful decision to meet with an illegal immigrant MS-13 gang member. During a Senate hearing, Rubio blasted Van Hollen for visiting Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador after the violent criminal was rightfully deported. “We deported gang members — including the one you had a margarita with,” Rubio declared, exposing the Democrat’s reckless betrayal of law-abiding citizens.
Rubio shut down Van Hollen’s whining about “regretting” his confirmation vote by firing back: “Your regret confirms I’m doing a good job.” True patriots cheered as Rubio refused to apologize for protecting communities from murderous cartel thugs. Meanwhile, Van Hollen looked weak and out of touch while defending a man accused of human trafficking and domestic violence.
Photos surfaced showing Van Hollen grinning at a hotel table with Garcia — a margarita glass placed in front of them by Salvadoran officials. Though Van Hollen claims it was a “setup,” the image says it all: Democrats would rather sip cocktails with criminals than secure the border. This is the same party that labels ICE agents as villains while coddling gangbangers.
The White House mockingly branded Van Hollen “MS-13’s favorite U.S. Senator” for prioritizing a deported felon’s “rights” over public safety. Rubio stood firm against activist judges trying to force Garcia’s return, stating: “No judge can tell me how to conduct foreign policy.” Conservatives know strong leaders don’t let courts dictate national security.
Van Hollen and his allies keep crying about “due process” for a man who already had multiple immigration hearings. The feds released documents proving Garcia’s gang ties and history of abusing his wife. Yet Democrats still treat him like a victim instead of the predator he is.
Rubio exposed the left’s dangerous agenda: open borders, weak enforcement, and endless excuses for lawbreakers. While Democrats fight for criminals, Republicans are deporting violent illegals and keeping neighborhoods safe. The choice is clear — safety or chaos.
This clash proves Rubio won’t back down from the America First policies that protect our families. He’s standing up to globalists, activist judges, and spineless politicians who care more about illegal aliens than U.S. citizens. The Biden-era migrant crisis taught us what happens when Democrats dismantle border security.
Patriots across Maryland and beyond are rallying behind Rubio’s unapologetic defense of sovereignty. Meanwhile, Van Hollen’s stunt proves Democrats have abandoned common sense — and forgotten who they’re supposed to serve. November can’t come soon enough.
