White House photo bluntly shows where parties stand on immigration amid Abrego Garcia deportation

Published

on


The White House released a splitscreen image overnight to underscore the stark contrast between where Republicans and Democrats stand on illegal immigration.

One image featured distraught Angel Mom Patty Morin being comforted by President Trump in the Oval Office. Morin’s daughter, Rachel Morin, was savagely beaten, raped and killed in Maryland by an illegal migrant from El Salvador in 2023.

The other image showed Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., sitting and talking with deported illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia, 29, in El Salvador.

Abrego Garcia was deported last month by the Trump administration, which says that he was an MS-13 gang member who also violently beat his wife. 

Van Hollen, who called the deportation «absolutely unjust,» flew to El Salvador to advocate for Abrego Garcia’s release.

«We are not the same,» the White House captioned the image while tagging Van Hollen.

The image of Morin was taken on Wednesday when she visited the White House and spoke to reporters from the White House briefing room, where she called out Van Hollen’s trip to El Salvador. 

She noted that Van Hollen, who represents her state, had never once reached out to her since her daughter was killed.

«To have a senator from Maryland who didn’t even acknowledge – barely acknowledged my daughter and the brutal death that she endured, leaving her five children without a mother, and now a grandbaby without a grandmother, so that he can use my taxpayer money to fly to El Salvador to bring back someone that is not even an American citizen,» Morin said. «Why does that person have more right than I do for my daughter or my grandchildren? I don’t understand this.» 

Following Martinez-Hernandez’s conviction, Van Hollen issued a statement vowing to bolster border security while also «supporting our immigrant communities.» 

Patty Morin appealed to the media to «tell the truth» about violent illegal aliens who were let into the country. Rachel Morin’s killer, Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, allegedly committed a murder in his home country. He was also linked to a home invasion and assault in Los Angeles before moving to Maryland.

Van Hollen flew to El Salvador this week to meet with Abrego Garcia and was denied multiple times. He was granted his request on Thursday night and met with Abrego Garcia on Friday.

«I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar,» Van Hollen wrote on X, along with the picture the White House posted. «Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love.»

Van Hollen previously said that it was «absolutely unjust and illegal to have this Marylander detained one more day in a notorious prison in El Salvador.»

Garcia who was living in Maryland with his wife and children, was deported to the El Salvadoran megaprison «Terrorism Confinement Center» (CECOT) last month, and officials acknowledged in court that his deportation had been an administrative error, although now some top Trump officials say he was correctly removed and contend he’s a member of the notorious MS-13 gang.

Both a federal district court and the U.S. Supreme Court have ordered the Trump administration to «facilitate» his release and return to the U.S. for proper deportation proceedings.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said that Abrego Garcia would not be allowed back into the U.S. unless El Salvador were to decide otherwise. «He is not coming back to our country.»

Acuerdo Israel-Hamas: las familias de los rehenes celebran su inminente liberación en el centro de Tel Aviv y convocan a Donald Trump

Published

on


A primera hora de este jueves, la Plaza de los Rehenes, en el centro de Tel Aviv, se convirtió en un estallido de emociones desbordadas. Las familias de los rehenes israelíes celebran con júbilo su próxima liberación.

«¡Matan vuelve a casa!», gritó Einav Zangauker, uno de los rostros más conocidos de la campaña de dos años por liberar a los cautivos, refiriéndose a su hijo. Con los brazos alzados al cielo, exclamó «¡Gracias!», mientras simpatizantes, familiares y rehenes liberados llenaban la plaza.

«Quiero olerlo. Si tengo un sueño, es ver a Matan dormir en su cama«, agregó en diálogo con la prensa.

Tras el secuestro de sus seres queridos durante el ataque de Hamas sobre el sur de Israel el 7 de octubre de 2023, que desató la guerra en Gaza, las familias se embarcaron en una lucha ardua por recuperar la libertad de sus allegados. Viajaron por todo el mundo para reunirse con líderes internacionales, enfrentaron la incredulidad de políticos israelíes y suplicaron incansablemente por un final a la pesadilla que parecía interminable. Hasta hoy.

Después de que Donald Trump anunciara el acuerdo entre Israel y Hamas para liberar a los cautivos restantes, la tensión en la plaza comenzó a disiparse. De los 250 capturados inicialmente, Israel asegura que alrededor de 20 de los 48 que permanecen en Gaza siguen con vida.

El contador que marcaba los días, minutos y segundos desde aquella angustiante mañana de octubre seguía iluminando a los presentes, pero ahora cada segundo los acercaba más a la liberación.

«Durante dos años he luchado por la vida de mi esposo», escribió Rebecca Bohbot en Instagram sobre su marido, Elkana. «Este es el momento en que un niño pequeño volverá a abrazar a su padre, un instante en que mi familia recobra la vida», agregó.

«Siento escalofríos de pies a cabeza», contó Omer Wenkert, rehén liberado anteriormente, sobre la noticia del acuerdo. «No puedo ni imaginar la alegría que sentiremos, como nación, por fin», sumó.

En el corazón de las celebraciones estuvo la figura de Trump, a quien muchos familiares e israelíes atribuyen el mérito de haber presionado al primer ministro Benjamín Netanyahu para aceptar el acuerdo. Una persona se disfrazó del presidente republicano y ondeó banderas estadounidenses; las familias expresaron su agradecimiento y algunos corearon que merecía el Premio Nobel de la Paz, como mencionó Javier Milei en X.

Invitación de los familiares a Donald Trump

El Foro de Familias de Rehenes y Desaparecidos, que representa a los allegados de la mayoría de los secuestrados en Gaza, invitó a Trump a reunirse con ellas en Israel tras impulsar el acuerdo de alto el fuego.

«Ya sea un discurso en la plaza, un lugar que se ha convertido en símbolo de esperanza y resiliencia, una visita privada a las familias o cualquier reunión que se ajuste a su agenda, haremos lo posible para que suceda«, indicó el Foro en un comunicado.

«Solo necesitamos mirarle a los ojos y expresar lo que las palabras no pueden transmitir: que nos devolvió a nuestras familias y con ellas, nuestra esperanza«, añadieron.

El líder de la Casa Blanca llegará a Israel el domingo, según informó el diario Yedioth Ahronot, tras la firma del alto el fuego. La liberación de los 48 cautivos se producirá el lunes, según Washington. Israel y Hamas aún deben acordar quiénes conformarán los 1.950 prisioneros palestinos que serán liberados a cambio de los rehenes: 250 condenados a cadena perpetua y 1.700 detenidos en la Franja de Gaza, según un miembro del buró político de Hamas.

Israel inicia los preparativos de su retirada

Antes de la liberación, el Ejército israelí deberá retirarse hasta la «línea amarilla» estipulada por EE. UU., marcando la primera fase de su retirada del enclave. Esto permitirá que las tropas permanezcan en un perímetro de 1,5 kilómetros en su zona más estrecha y 6,5 en la más amplia, garantizando presencia militar en cerca de la mitad del territorio.

Según Haaretz, esta retirada facilitará que las milicias gazatíes, encabezadas por Hamas, localicen a todos los cautivos. El Ejército ya inició los preparativos y estableció un protocolo de combate para avanzar «pronto» hacia la línea establecida, mientras mantiene la capacidad de responder a cualquier desarrollo operativo.

«Las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel han comenzado los preparativos operativos previos a la aplicación del acuerdo. Como parte de este proceso, se están llevando a cabo las tareas previas y un protocolo de combate para pasar pronto a unas líneas de despliegue modificadas», afirmó el ejército en un comunicado.

El acuerdo contempla que la primera fase de retirada se complete antes del lunes, cuando Hamas liberará a los 48 rehenes aún cautivos. La medida garantiza que los secuestrados sean localizados tanto por las Brigadas Al Qasam como por otros grupos, como la Yihad Islámica Palestina.

Aún no se han detallado las fases posteriores, pero tras llegar a la «línea amarilla», las tropas israelíes seguirán presentes en alrededor de la mitad del enclave, tras haber dominado hasta ahora más del 80%.

Liberal media darling in the hot seat after explosive interview goes viral

Conservatives on social media blasted California Democrat Katie Porter, widely seen by Democrats as a frontrunner in the state’s gubernatorial race, after she cut short a contentious interview over follow-up questions from a reporter.

The viral moment happened in a clip posted Tuesday night where Porter took issue with the line of questioning from CBS investigative journalist Julie Watts, who was pushing Porter on whether she can and needs to appeal to the millions of Trump voters in the state to become the next governor.

«I feel like this is unnecessarily argumentative,» Porter said, adding, «I don’t want to keep doing this, I’m going to call it.»…READ MORE.
