White House Defends Abrego Garcia Deportation, Calling Return "Out of the Question"
UPDATE: Kilmar Abrego Garcia and MS-13 allegations Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an immigrant from El Salvador, is at the center of a heated debate following accusations by the White House linking him to the notorious MS-13 gang. While the government has declared that Abrego Garcia will "never live" in the United States again, the man himself has denied any affiliation with the gang and has not been convicted of any crime. Despite the public and political uproar, many questions about his alleged ties to MS-13 remain unanswered. According to court documents, Abrego Garcia entered the U.S. illegally in 2012. His first brush with law enforcement occurred in March 2019 when he and three others were detained in a Home Depot parking lot in Hyattsville, Maryland. Officers claimed the group was loitering and identified Abrego Garcia and two others as MS-13 members. The basis for this identification came from a “Gang Field Interview Sheet,” which noted that Abrego Garcia was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat and a hoodie featuring presidents with rolls of money covering their eyes, ears, and mouths. Police wrote that such attire was “indicative of the Hispanic gang culture,” asserting that the Bulls logo specifically suggested membership in MS-13. Steven Dudley, a journalist and expert on MS-13, offered a more cautious interpretation. While acknowledging that the Chicago Bulls logo had, at times, been adopted as a symbol by the gang, he stressed that this doesn’t prove membership. “Any assertions about gang affiliation would need to be corroborated with testimony, criminal history, and other corroborating evidence,” Dudley explained. Police also claimed that a “proven and reliable source” had informed them that Abrego Garcia was part of MS-13’s “westerns clique,” holding the rank of “chequeo.” However, Dudley clarified that “chequeo” is not an actual rank, but a term used for recruits who have not yet been initiated. Nevertheless, the judge presiding over Abrego Garcia’s 2019 case found enough evidence—based on the confidential source—to conclude that he was affiliated with the gang, a finding later upheld by another judge. This resulted in his being denied bail. During this time, he filed for asylum to avoid deportation to El Salvador, claiming his family had been targeted by Barrio-18, a rival gang. In October 2019, he was granted a "withholding of removal" order—an immigration status that stopped his deportation due to the likelihood of harm if returned to El Salvador. His legal team stated that this was based on a “well-founded” fear of persecution, citing previous threats and extortion attempts by Barrio-18. Since then, Abrego Garcia has remained in the U.S. under this protective status, attending all required check-ins with immigration authorities without any reported issues. Separate allegations have also surfaced. In 2021, his wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, filed a protective order alleging domestic abuse. However, she later stated that she chose not to pursue legal action and that they worked through the matter privately, including attending counseling. Most recently, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt accused Abrego Garcia of being involved in human trafficking. This claim appeared to stem from a report by the conservative news outlet The Tennessee Star, which stated that he was stopped by a Tennessee highway patrol officer in December 2022 while transporting seven passengers. The report, citing unnamed sources, said the FBI was contacted, but Abrego Garcia and the passengers were later released. The BBC has not independently verified this report and has reached out to authorities for comment. Based on a report by BBC Verify 2025-04-18 -

Dramatic Police Chase in Nakhon Phanom as Drunk-Driving Fears Spark Panic
Picture courtesy of Khoasod. A man sparked a dramatic police pursuit in Nakhon Phanom province after speeding through a checkpoint and running a red light, all because he feared being caught driving under the influence. As it turned out, his blood alcohol level was within legal limits. The incident occurred in the town of Na Kae when officers from Na Kae Police Station, led by Pol. Col. Kanaphot Phanomchai, set up a routine checkpoint to monitor traffic and conduct random breathalyser tests following Songkran festivities. At around 21:00 on 16 April, a silver Isuzu pickup truck ignored officers’ signals to stop at the checkpoint and proceeded to run a red light at a major junction. Fearing the vehicle may be transporting illegal goods or narcotics, police quickly mobilised to pursue the. Vehicle, with 10 officers used to finally stop and surround the vehicle. After a tense standoff, the driver finally exited the vehicle and was taken into custody. Inside the truck were his wife, a resident of Wang Ya District in Nakhon Phanom, and a relative, both visibly shaken and frightened. The driver was identified as Mr. Tum 40, from Soi Dao District in Chanthaburi province. He was visiting his wife’s family in Nakhon Phanom and had been preparing to drive back to Bangkok for work. He admitted that he had consumed alcohol with friends before hitting the road and panicked upon seeing the checkpoint, fearing he would fail a breath test. Police later confirmed that his blood alcohol level was within the legal limit. However, Mr. Tum was charged with running a red light and obstructing police officers in the course of their duties. He was fined and formally warned against repeating such behaviour. His wife, visibly distraught, scolded him at the scene, tearfully urging him to stop putting others at risk and creating unnecessary chaos. -- 2025-04-17 -
