Democrat New York Rep. Dan Goldman became unglued Wednesday when Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene presented evidence that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13.
Greene cited an immigration judge and law enforcement’s assessment that Garcia, who illegally entered the U.S. in 2011, is associated with the brutal MS-13 gang. The New York Democrat then accused Greene of “misstating” the evidence she presented, and attempted to prevent her from submitting the evidence into the congressional record.
“A Maryland County Police gang unit agreed that is MS-13, a reliable confidential informant agreed that he’s MS-13, ICE officers agreed that he’s MS-13, an immigration judge agreed that he is MS-13, an appellate board agreed that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, your Maryland man, is MS-13,” Greene said during the House Homeland Security committee hearing.
“I object because she is misstating the record and the facts,” Goldman said. “That is not accurate and therefore I object to that being introduced … There is no final court order establishing that he’s a member. Maybe he is, so you should put all that evidence before a judge and if he’s MS-13, he should be deported. That’s what we’re talking about, but you’re misstating what all of that evidence is.”

Republican Tennessee Rep. Mark Green, the chairman of the House Homeland Security committee, said Greene has a right to submit the documents into the committee’s record.
Garcia was found loitering in a Home Depot parking lot in March 2019, wearing “a Chicago Bulls hat and a hoodie with rolls of money covering the eyes, ears and mouth of the presidents on the separate denominations,” which represents a “good standing” with MS-13, according to documents released by the Department of Justice on April 16. In December 2019, the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissed Garcia’s challenge to an immigration judge’s finding that he is “a verified member of MS-13.”
