Trump’s Ugly New MS-13 Ramblings Wreck His Case Against Abrego Garcia
As Trump accidentally exposes the weakness of his own arguments in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, an expert on MS-13 takes us inside what this gang really is—and why tying this man to the group is implausible.

President Donald Trump’s case for leaving Kilmar Abrego Garcia to rot in an El Salvadoran prison continues to collapse. In bizarre, rambling remarks to reporters in which Trump talked about Abrego Garcia’s alleged ties to MS-13, Trump revealed the profound weakness of his own arguments. In particularly ugly fashion, Trump basically admitted he knows little about the supposed evidence linking him to the gang—even though this notion is central to the rationale for refusing to bring him back. Today’s guest has done deep research into MS-13: Eric Hershberg, a professor of government at American University and a leading contributor to a major report on the gang. He takes us inside this organization—and explains how implausible the case tying Abrego Garcia to it truly is.
