Conflicted justice

The case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia roils the nation. Mr. Garcia made headlines when the Trump administration expelled him from the U.S. to his native country of El Salvador. Compounding the controversy: he was sent to an El Salvadoran prison crowded with gang members.

Senator Elizabeth Warren characterized the issue as a “disappearance” (a term used in 3rd world countries indicating the government stealthily rounds up dissidents who are then never heard from again). Said Senator Warren:

“We do not disappear people in the United States because here’s the thing, if they can disappear Mr. Abrigo Garcia, then they can disappear you.”

Mr. Abrigo Garcia wasn’t a U.S. citizen. He was in the U.S. illegally. In fact, he was, and is, a citizen of El Salvador.

Police records indicate he was a wife beater.

He appears to have gang affiliations with MS-13.

He lied to our immigration courts to game our system.

The controversy centers on whether or not the Trump administration gave Mr. Abrigo Garcia due process when deporting him, which is not the point of this blog.

Puzzlement

Rather, we’re puzzled by the Abortion Party’s fury at the Trump administration for deporting such an obviously bad apple.

Our puzzlement heightens when we consider the treatment the previous administration dished out on a Pennsylvania dad who protected his 12 year old son from the profane slurs of a bully.

We’re referring to Mark Houck, of course. Here’s a quick recap: The pro-abortion Biden Justice department executed a dawn raid on Mr. Houck’s home. Here’s how his wife described the incident:

“A SWAT team of about 25 came to my house with about 15 vehicles and started pounding on our door. They said they were going to break in if he didn’t open it. And then they had about five guns pointed at my husband, myself, and basically at my kids.” 

Houck’s crime? While praying at an abortion clinic with his 14 year old son, he had an altercation with an abortion proponent, whom Houck said verbally harassed his son. Houck acknowledges he shoved the man twice to get him away from his son. The man sustained no injuries. Watch the video above for a recap.

The Philadelphia DA declined to take up the case. A follow up private criminal claim was also thrown out. But that wasn’t good enough for the Biden Justice Department who arrested Houck.

The jury found Mr. Houck not guilty of assault charges related to violating the FACE Act, (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act). Presiding Judge Gerald Pappert was surprised the Justice Department had even pursued the case, wondering aloud to the prosecution whether the FACE Act didn’t “seem to be stretched a little thin here.” 

Had Houck lost the case, he could’ve received 11 years in prison … for shoving a man who harassed his young son.

We don’t understand why the abortion party considers a God-fearing, pro-life family man to be a bigger threat than a wife-beating gang member, who entered our country illegally.
