Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) suffered an epic double humiliation during a fiery House Homeland Security Committee hearing after going to bat for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a confirmed MS-13 gang member, and lashing out at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)—only to be brutally put in his place by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN).
The hearing, focused on the 2026 DHS budget, came just one day after a federal judge cleared President Trump’s administration to resume deportations of violent gang members to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act—a ruling that triggered the pro-open borders Left and lit a fuse under the hearing.
Goldman Interrupts, Screams, and Gets Shut Down
When MTG attempted to enter official documentation linking Garcia to MS-13, Goldman exploded with rage, repeatedly interrupting, shouting over colleagues, and trying to block evidence from being submitted to the record.
“Mr. Goldman, the floor is not yours right now!” Chairman Green fired back. “She has the floor!”
Despite Goldman’s repeated disruptions, MTG held firm:
“A Maryland county gang unit agreed he’s MS-13. A reliable confidential informant agreed he’s MS-13. An appellate board agreed that Kilmar Abrego Garcia—your Maryland man—is MS-13.”
Goldman, visibly panicked, demanded to “review” the document. Green denied his request with a sharp “no.”
When Goldman tried one more time to interrupt, Chairman Green unleashed:
“Do not interrupt me again! It’s got to be extremely discouraging to be one of your constituents. To see you fight for a terrorist like this and not fight for them is extremely alarming.”
Kristi Noem Drops the Mic
The final blow came when DHS Secretary Kristi Noem weighed in with a devastating quip aimed squarely at Goldman:
“If the Congressman spent as much time protecting Americans as he does protecting gang members, we wouldn’t be having this hearing in the first place.”
The room fell silent.
MS-13: The Democrats’ New Cause?
That Goldman would go to the mat for a known MS-13 operative—at a time when Biden’s border crisis is flooding U.S. cities with violent criminals—shows just how far the Democratic Party has drifted. Whether it’s defending cartels, excusing terrorists, or targeting whistleblowers, the left’s priorities are increasingly unrecognizable to everyday Americans.
Meanwhile, Republicans are on offense, exposing the dangerous reality of Democrat-aligned open borders policies.
Bottom Line: Goldman Embodies the Democrats’ Collapse
This week’s hearing revealed the ugly truth behind Democratic border policy: it’s not about protecting Americans—it’s about political theater, identity politics, and siding with the enemy if it scores points against Trump.
In defending an MS-13 gangster, Dan Goldman didn’t just lose an argument—he revealed his party’s moral bankruptcy. And thanks to MTG and Kristi Noem, the country got to watch it happen in real time.
