The most critical issue facing America is an illegal alien gang member being sent back to El Salvador. At least, that's what Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) act as if the fate of democracy hangs on. I'm sure you, an American, can think of at least five things more important, up to and including it being WrestleMania week. What most likely happened is that a progressive NGO funded by progressive billionaires settled on the gang member to be what progressives have to care about this week, and CNN said, "Sure, we have no self-respect."

It's not surprising that CNN's Kaitlin Collins, when allowed to speak for some reason, would ask about the Democrat talking point du jour. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an illegal alien under a deportation order who had been staying in Maryland. He was removed and sent back to El Salvador. Democrats and CNN want him brought back to America. Collins asked Trump why he is being so mean.

Trump, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, Marco Rubio, Pam Bondi, and Stephen Miller all took turns responding. They ran out of time for JD Vance to have his turn, so he shared his thoughts on Twitter.

Later on in the day, CNN assembled a team of progressive activists and Scott Jennings to discuss what happened. Jennings made a valiant attempt to be the sole voice of reason. Three key points:

“[Garcia's] an illegal alien from El Salvador—with a deportation order—and in the view of some immigration courts, has an affiliation with MS-13.”

“The American people want [The Trump Administration] to be as aggressive as possible and pull all the levers they can pull to solve a crisis that has festered for years.”

“We keep calling this guy a Maryland man in the press. Nobody seems to worry about the Maryland mother, Rachel Morin, who was murdered by someone that the previous administration let out of jail!”

Egg prices are down. Gas prices are down. Illegal crossings are way down. Jobs are up. The media and the left (but I repeat myself) are stuck chasing whatever negative headlines they can find. They think this guy getting deported will resonate with the American people.

It will. Just not in the way they think.
