Republicans Once Again Show No Understanding Of ‘Family Values’
HuffPost
The word "family" appears 18 times in the Republican 2024 party platform, yet they spent all week making anti-family moves.
After a Maryland father was mistakenly deported to an El Salvadoran prison famous for its abuses, the Trump administration admitted that it was an error — but refused to do anything to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back.
In fact, government officials scoffed at the notion that Abrego Garcia deserved to return from the Salvadoran supermax prison the Trump administration has been busy deporting people to. The institution is known for disturbingly harsh conditions and lack of contact: Last month, the administration shared a glossy propaganda video of immigrant men getting their heads shaved and marched into cells, held bent-double by two masked guards each.
“You’re acting like he’s father of the year,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at a press briefing on Wednesday when questioned about Abrego Garcia.
Vice President JD Vance echoed her comments during an interview on Fox News. “He had committed some traffic violations. He had not shown up for some court dates,” Vance said. “This is not exactly father of the year here.”
Abrego Garcia was arrested at an Ikea parking lot in front of his 5-year-old son, his lawyers say — even though he was granted protection from deportation by a judge in 2019. On Friday, a federal judge ordered the U.S. to return the 29-year-old by 11:59 p.m. Monday. When reached for comment, the White House pointed HuffPost to comments Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin made on Fox News on Friday.
