During the April 4 hearing, US District Judge Paula Sinis for the Maryland District ordered the Trump administration to return Abrego Garcia, a suspected MS-13 member, to the United States. However, the Supreme Court ruled that she had exceeded her authority to request his return. The Supreme Court also said that if the United States is released by El Salvador, it should “promote” his return. O’Brien asked McLaughlin what evidence the administration has that Garcia is a member of the group. (Related: “Fake SOB Stories”: Lights the lights to “mainstream media” for DHS SPOX to “bid” gangs)
“I think what really matters to Americans is the members of this MS-13 gang, unfortunately Jay, you, and many of my colleagues call the ‘Maryland guy’.
“In reality, there are two separate immigrant judges from Jay who confirmed he is a member of MS-13 and sentenced him,” McLaughlin told O’Brien.

“I can do this all day,” Jay said after an exchange with O’Brien. “He is a member of the MS-13. I don’t think you want to be his neighbor. I’m sure I don’t think many Americans want to be this individual’s neighbor. He is involved in human trafficking. He is involved in labor trafficking, and he should not be in this country.”
“So, whether he’s in an El Salvador prison or in a US detention facility, I’m just as happy as millions of Americans.
El Salvador President Naive Buquere rejected the notion that Garcia would be returned to the United States when he was questioned by the press in his elliptical office on Monday with Trump.
“You and I saw an oval office yesterday where President Bukele said they didn’t plan to bring this terrorist back to US soil,” McLaughlin mentioned how Bukele answered a question from CNN host and former color White House correspondent Catelan Collins. “This man was illegal in our country. He is a citizen of El Salvador and President Bukere can decide what to do with him.” (Related: “There’s nothing I can’t do”: CNN Legal Analysts tell panelists “will not return” to deported MS-13 members)
McLaughlin also said O’Brien’s Line, who interrogates victims of MS-13 and TDA bystanders.
“The media should really care about, what really matters is, like this ‘Maryland guy’, these victims of Tren de Aragua and MS-13,” McLaughlin said. “It’s scary what happened to these people. And all you know is the number of media enquiries I get every day. But one of them isn’t about these individual American victims. Instead, they’re just bidding for these gang members.”
