JUST IN: AG Pam Bondi Confronted Over Lack of Public Evidence Against Kilmar Abrego Garcia

Washington, D.C. – April 16, 2025 — During a tense press briefing on Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi was asked point blank to provide public evidence that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, currently imprisoned in El Salvador, is affiliated with the violent MS-13 gang. The question came after weeks of speculation and criticism regarding the administration’s lack of transparency in high-profile deportation cases.

Pam Bondi defended the administration’s handling of the case, stating unequivocally that Garcia is an “illegal alien” and a confirmed member of MS-13. According to Bondi, Garcia had been ruled an MS-13 member by both an immigration judge and an appellate court.

“ICE testified, an immigration judge ruled, and an appellate judge confirmed — he is a member of MS-13. Hard stop,” Bondi said during the briefing.

She added that Garcia was never going to remain in the U.S. and emphasized that he was properly deported, despite a bureaucratic delay in paperwork. The Attorney General also referenced that under the Trump administration’s reclassification of MS-13 as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), Garcia would not be allowed re-entry into the United States under any circumstances.

No Plans to Release Public Evidence

Despite mounting calls for transparency, Bondi was firm in her refusal to release further details or evidence to the public. Critics argue that without access to trial transcripts or supporting documentation, Americans are left to rely solely on government claims.

“We’re not going to release evidence. We have the court transcripts. That’s sufficient,” Bondi said in response to a reporter’s follow-up.

Her comments have raised concerns among civil liberties groups and immigration advocates, who say the administration owes the public more detailed information when labeling individuals as terrorists or gang members without a traditional criminal trial.

Who Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia?

Garcia, a Salvadoran national, was arrested in Maryland and later deported to El Salvador. U.S. officials have repeatedly described him as a “high-value” target in the administration’s crackdown on MS-13, a gang known for brutal violence across Central America and parts of the United States.

He is now reportedly incarcerated in El Salvador under the direction of President Nayib Bukele, who has pledged to keep Garcia detained. According to AG Bondi, there was never any possibility of Garcia remaining in the United States.

Critics Demand More Transparency

Opponents of the administration’s immigration policy argue that the American public deserves full transparency, especially when individuals are deported without criminal trials and are branded as gang members based on classified or sealed evidence.

Civil rights organizations are now calling on the Justice Department to declassify documents and provide the American people with more clarity.
