Three Key Takeaways:
- Vice President J.D. Vance slammed Democrats for their outrage over the deportation of MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, accusing them of prioritizing illegal immigrants over the victims of violent crimes.
- Vance emphasized that Garcia was a known gang member with a criminal record, including traffic violations and failure to attend court dates, which justified his deportation under U.S. immigration law.
- He criticized Democrats for caring more about the deportation of gang members than about the deaths of U.S. citizens, highlighting the stark contrast in their reactions to the safety of American citizens versus illegal immigrants.
J.D. Vance isn’t taking any prisoners when it comes to the illegal immigration debate.
Democrats are furious at the Trump administration’s latest move.
And J.D. Vance just destroyed Democrats with these six brutal words about illegal immigrants.
Vice President calls out Democrats’ “disgraceful set of priorities”
Vice President J.D. Vance ripped into Democrats and their media allies on Fox News’ Fox & Friends after they melted down over the Trump administration deporting alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
The Vice President didn’t mince words during his sit-down with Lawrence Jones on Thursday.
“We do not ask permission from far-left Democrats before we deport illegal immigrants. We do the American people’s business,” Vance fired back when asked about the controversy.
The former Ohio Senator then dropped a truth bomb that left Democrats sputtering.
“This is such a weird, mistaken placement of priorities. . . What is it about Congressional Democrats that they get more angry at deporting violent gang members than they do at the victims of those violent gang members?” Vance asked.

“I don’t even understand where they’re coming from. They’ve gone off the deep end, and they’ve got to come back to reality,” he added.
Democrats have been in full meltdown mode since The Atlantic reported that federal attorneys acknowledged an “administrative error” in sending Garcia to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison.
The facts about the MS-13 deportation speak for themselves
Vance shut down the left-wing narrative that Garcia was just an innocent man caught up in Trump’s deportation machine.
“Back in 2019, an immigration judge looked at all the evidence, looked at the data and concluded that this allegedly innocent person that we sent to El Salvador was actually a member of an MS-13 gang,” Vance explained.
The Vice President pointed out that Garcia’s record was far from clean.
“He had also committed some traffic violations. He had not shown up for some court dates. This is not exactly ‘Father of the Year’ here. This is a person that we don’t think should be in our country,” Vance said.
Even the left-wing press couldn’t dispute the basic facts, Vance noted.
“Whatever the argument is, whatever the justification is. . . Not even the crazy left-wing media criticized the idea that we could deport this person. They just took issue with the reasoning for why we deported this person,” he said.
“This [is] unquestionably a person an immigration judge had found had zero right to be in the United States of America,” Vance concluded.
Democrats care more about illegal MS-13 members than murdered Americans
Democrats’ outrage over Garcia’s deportation stands in stark contrast to their silence about Americans killed by illegal immigrants.
Vance hammered them for showing more sympathy toward illegal immigrants than for murdered U.S. citizens like Georgia nursing student Laken Riley and Texas native Jocelyn Nungaray.
Court filings show Garcia came to the U.S. in 2011 at age 16, claiming he fled gang threats in El Salvador. Eight years later, a judge granted him protected status known as “withholding of removal.”
But the Trump administration isn’t backing down.
During the interview, Vance also swatted away rumors that Elon Musk might soon leave his role in the administration, calling such reports “total fake news.”
The Vice President’s forceful defense of deportation policies sends a clear message that the Trump White House won’t be swayed by left-wing outrage as it continues implementing its tough stance on immigration.
