'Mind-boggling': White House shames Democrats for defending illegal immigrants instead of US citizens

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt tore into Democrats during Tuesday's briefing for continuing to demand that an illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador be returned to the United States.

Democrats and the mainstream media have been outraged that Salvadoran national Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was deported to the Central American country even though he had a deportation stay after claiming he was in fear of a rival gang. The Trump administration carried out the deportation because Abrego Garcia was in the United States illegally and violent gangs are no longer an issue in El Salvador.

When the Washington Reporter's Matthew Foldi asked Leavitt about Democrats like Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland advocating for illegal aliens like Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States, she said Democrats' priorities have been "mind-boggling."
