A smirking Donald Trump tonight shared ‘proof’ that a deported illegal migrant who has become a martyr to liberals is a member of the notorious MS-13 cartel.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has become a flashpoint for polarized politics, with Republicans labeling him a terrorist and pointed out allegations made by his own wife of beating her who should never have been in the country in the first place.

Trump seemed to offer a rebuttal to the left by posting what he said were photos of knuckle tattoos representing MS-13 and belonging to Abrego Garcia on Truth Social Friday night.

‘This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back to the United States, because he is such ‘a fine and innocent person,” Trump wrote.

It features tattoos on his fingers that officials have previously described: a marijuana leaf, a smiley face, a cross, and a skull. ‘MS-13’ is now spelled across the knuckles in the photo Trump posted.

However, those letters and numbers are digitally added on and Pam Bondi made no mention of any tattoos representing the deadly gang in documents accusing Abrego Garcia of being a member.

Still, some have alleged that the tattoos are meant to be code, a marijuana leaf representing the letter M, a smiley face representing the letter S, a cross being a cover up for the number one and a skull meant to be covering up the number three.

Trump sees it as proof that he’s found out Abrego Garcia as a member of the infamous gang.

‘They said he is not a member of MS-13, even though he’s got MS-13 tattooed onto his knuckles, and two Highly Respected Courts found that he was a member of MS-13, beat up his wife, etc.’

Liberals were furious at Trump on social media.

‘This is why you don’t send people to prison without due process. Unscrupulous politicians cannot be the final word,’ wrote one.

Another wrote: ‘This is the guy you want to trust to send people to a gulag without judicial review: a guy who tells blatant lies about the people he’s doing that to.’

Abrego Garcia’s lawyers have denied any links to MS-13, the notorious prison gang that Trump insists he is affiliated with, and stated he has no criminal convictions.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Senator Chris Van Hollen – who visited with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador – and representatives for Abrego Garcia for comment.

The post came as Trump got a legal victory Friday, with a divided appeals court in Washington halted Judge James Boasberg’s contempt proceedings against the Trump administration for the deportation flights to El Salvador.

It is not a ruling on whether those proceedings should take place but gives the court a chance to hear the Trump administration’s appeal against Boasberg’s ruling.

Van Hollen met Thursday in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man who was sent there by the Trump administration in March despite an immigration court order preventing his deportation.

Van Hollen posted a photo of the meeting on X, saying he also called Abrego Garcia’s wife ‘to pass along his message of love.’

The lawmaker did not provide an update on the status of Abrego Garcia, whose attorneys are fighting to force the Trump administration to facilitate his return to the U.S.

A spokesman for the Trump administration remained on message, claiming Van Hollen was worried more about a ‘terrorist’ illegal migrant than his own constituents.

‘Chris Van Hollen has firmly established Democrats as the party whose top priority is the welfare of an illegal alien MS-13 terrorist. It is truly disgusting. President Trump will continue to stand on the side of law-abiding Americans,’ Kush Desai told DailyMail.com

The tweet ended with emojis of the U.S. and El Salvador flags, with a handshake emoji between them. A spokeswoman for El Salvador´s presidency said she had no further information.

The meeting came hours after Van Hollen said he was denied entry into an high-security El Salvador prison Thursday while he was trying to check on Abrego Garcia’s well-being and push for his release.

The Democratic senator said at a news conference in San Salvador that his car was stopped by soldiers at a checkpoint about two miles from the Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, even as they let other cars go on.

‘They stopped us because they are under orders not to allow us to proceed,’ Van Hollen said.

Abrego Garcia entered the US illegally in 2011. A judge blocked his return to El Salvador in 2019, citing the fact that gangsters were after him, but said he could be deported elsewhere.

In court filings this week, the Trump administration said he was deported to El Salvador in error. The Supreme Court has since ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his return to the US.

Late Thursday, a three-judge panel from the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously refused to suspend a judge’s decision to order sworn testimony by Trump administration officials to determine if they complied with the court’s instruction to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return.

The Trump administration´s claims that it can’t do anything to free Garcia from an El Salvador prison or return him to the US ‘should be shocking to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear,’ the court said Thursday in a blistering order that ratchets up the escalating conflict between the government’s executive and judicial branches.

Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, who was nominated by Republican President Ronald Reagan, said: ‘It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter. But in this case, it is not hard at all.’

He added that he and his two colleagues ‘cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos.’

Trump officials insist Garcia is not an innocent American, as claimed. They say he’s an MS-13 gangster who deserves to be sent back to El Salvador.

Additionally, a 2021 petition for protection from domestic violence filled out by Abrego Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Vasquez, which was obtained first by DailyMail.com, states that the alleged MS-13 member beat his wife multiple times over the years.
