The FBI told police in Tennessee who had stopped Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the MS-13 gang member the Trump administration deported to El Salvador last month, to release him even though he was suspected of human trafficking and smuggling of illegal immigrants at the time, according to sources who spoke with Fox News.
In a show segment on Thursday, host Jesse Watters played a video clip of Abrego Garcia’s interaction with officers, which showed them questioning the suspect who was traveling with a vehicle full of people. Watters said his show is the first to air the clip.
During the traffic stop, Abrego Garcia told officers that he and the others were traveling for work in Missouri, while also informing them that he lived in Maryland. Officers began to get suspicious when they discovered that Abrego Garcia and the others were traveling without any luggage or belongings.
