Kilmeade Has To Remind Democratic Strategist That Alleged MS-13 Illegal More Than Just A ‘Maryland Father’

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade reminded Democrat strategist and “The Five” co-host Jessica Tarlov on Friday that alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was living in the U.S. illegally, is more than just a “Maryland father.”

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the Trump administration must work to bring Garcia back after deporting him to El Salvador in March. As Tarlov argued that President Donald Trump was struggling in the polls on issues like the economy, she said that the Supreme Court had delivered the president his first blow over the deportation.

“He’s still above water on immigration. But he had his first major rebuke from the Supreme Court yesterday, who said that they have to return the man, the Maryland father, who was sent to the El Salvadoran prison camp,” Tarlov said.

Fellow Fox host Jesse Watters then chimed in, asking if she was talking about the “illegal El Salvadorian.”

“He’s an illegal. It doesn’t mean that he’s a criminal and belongs in a labor camp,” Tarlov said.

Kilmeade could then be heard saying that Garcia was an alleged gang member. Tarlov attempted to say that the Department of Justice “doesn’t even know where he is,” before Watters jumped in again.

“Why can’t he just stay in El Salvador if he’s an illegal from El Salvador?” Watters asked.

“What is wrong with you?” Tarlov asked. “He’s not from the prison. Do you read anything? It was the biggest story. He wasn’t MS-13.”
