Karoline Leavitt Tries to Tie Deported Dad to Murder He Didn’t Commit

The White House continues to defy the courts with a new scare tactic.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tried to defend the White House’s wrongful deportation of a Maryland father to El Salvador by linking it to the heartbreaking ordeal of a mother in an entirely separate case.

Just hours after the Trump administration was excoriated by a judge over its handling of a series of deportation flights and threatened with criminal contempt proceedings, Leavitt called a special media briefing with a “special guest.”

Ignoring the Supreme Court’s order for the U.S. to facilitate Garcia’s return, Leavitt doubled down, insisting that he had tattoos worn by the feared MS-13 gang, was with gangsters when he was arrested in March and, in a new development, revealed he had been accused of two counts of spousal abuse in 2021.

“He will never live in the United States again,” she said.

In what appeared to be a new tactic by the administration declaring all-out war on illegal immigrants whether or not they have been accused of any crimes, Leavitt then introduced the “special guest” as Patty Morin, whose 37-year-old daughter, a mother-of-five, was murdered by a monster who brutally beat and raped her in August 2023.
