New Police Document Confirms MS-13 Ties of Deported Gang Member Kilmar Abrego Garcia
Explosive Evidence Contradicts Media Narrative of “Maryland Man”
Newly released law enforcement documents have obliterated the mainstream media’s narrative surrounding Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the deported Salvadoran national described affectionately by some outlets as a “Maryland man.” The document, a Gang Field Interview Sheet dated March 28, 2019, from the Prince George’s County Police Department, confirms Garcia’s deep ties to MS-13, one of the world’s most violent transnational gangs.
Despite this evidence, left-leaning news organizations and Democratic lawmakers continue to portray Garcia as a sympathetic figure — a victim of deportation rather than the foreign terrorist he has been legally designated as by the United States.
Four Key Revelations from the Gang Field Interview Sheet
Attorney General Pam Bondi released the document to the public Wednesday, stating, “We are releasing additional information on Kilmar Abrego Garcia,” in an effort to cut through the “intentional misinformation campaign” from legacy media sources.
The report includes several critical pieces of information:
1. Arrest in Gang Activity Hotspot
Garcia was arrested by Hyattsville police in the parking lot of a Home Depot alongside three other known MS-13 members. Officers reported seeing two suspects reaching into their waistbands to discard items under a parked vehicle. Marijuana was recovered, and all four men were taken to District I for further questioning.
2. Accompanied by Known Gang Members
The arrest sheet names two individuals taken into custody with Garcia:
- Christhyan Hernandez-Romero, known by law enforcement as an “Observacion” ranked member of MS-13’s Sailor’s Clique with a criminal history including assault and gang participation.
- Jose Guillermo Dominguez, identified by distinctive gang tattoos, including a devil’s horn symbol reserved for high-ranking MS-13 members. He held the rank of “Chequeo” with the moniker “Maniaco.”
3. Gang-Indicative Clothing
At the time of his arrest, Garcia was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat and a hoodie adorned with money symbols covering the eyes, ears, and mouths of U.S. presidents. Officers documented this as MS-13 “uniform” symbolism, representing the phrase “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”, a concept deeply embedded in Hispanic gang culture to promote silence among members.
4. Confirmed Rank and Moniker in MS-13
A confidential informant, described in the report as a “past proven and reliable source,” explicitly confirmed Garcia’s gang affiliation, stating he was an active member of MS-13’s Westerns clique, held the rank of “Chequeo”, and went by the alias “Chele.”
Domestic Violence History Further Undermines Sympathetic Portrayal
As previously reported by TGP, Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Vasquez, filed two separate protective orders against him in 2020 and 2021, citing repeated physical abuse. Court records reveal Garcia scratched and beat Vasquez multiple times — a far cry from the media portrayal of a doting father of three.
Nonetheless, Democratic lawmakers, including Senator Chris Van Hollen, continue to lobby for Garcia’s return, claiming he is a victim of wrongful deportation and referring to him as a “Maryland dad” without acknowledging the clear evidence of gang affiliation, domestic violence, and illegal immigration status.
Bukele and Bondi Remain Firm: He’s Not Coming Back
El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele has refused U.S. requests to return Garcia, calling him a danger to public safety. Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi remains unyielding:
“He is an illegal alien, affiliated with a foreign terrorist organization, and he is not coming back to our country. Hard stop.”
A Sobering Reminder of the Stakes
This case highlights a growing disconnect between political rhetoric and public safety realities. While liberal lawmakers push humanitarian optics, frontline law enforcement officials continue to confront the brutal consequences of transnational gang infiltration.
The March 2019 Gang Field Interview Sheet is a stark reminder that America’s immigration policy must prioritize national security and the rule of law—especially in the face of calculated misinformation campaigns that attempt to rewrite criminal records as compassion cases.
