A veteran Democratic strategist is warning his party against aligning too closely with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran deported last month, whom the Trump administration describes as an MS‑13 member and violent domestic abuser.
During a Friday appearance on CNN’s The Arena with Kasie Hunt, strategist Mo Elleithee reminded Democrats that they “don’t know all of the details about this guy,” and warned against making him a “martyr.” Rather, he advised party members to focus more on how President Donald Trump is allegedly “chipping away at our rights.”
