J.B. Pritzker Chomps on El Salvador for Taking Their Own Citizen Back

If that isn’t a frightening mental image, I don’t know what would be.

J. B. Pritzker, hotel chain bazillionaire and Illinois’s massive snapping-turtle Turk governor, has decided to place his marker down. His meaty hamfist laid it atop the incomprehensible vanity bonfire of current progressive Democrat posturing over the deportation of a rumored wife-beating, human-trafficking, gangbanging illegal immigrant to the tiny Central American country of El Salvador.





Oddly enough, and most baffling as far as these hysterical public objections to the case of Kilmar Abrego-Garcia go, El Salvador is the very same country from which the border-jumping illegal alien *checks notes* started his journey north to cross into our country.

Abrego Garcia is a Salvadoran ‘citizen.’ He is a ‘criminal illegal alien’ in the United States.

Couldn’t be simpler…and yet, here we are.

FATHERS IN SALVADORAN GULAGS! MARYLAND MAN! UNION MEMBER!

DOGS AND CATS, LIVING TOGETHER!

Maryland man has nothing to hide, living quietly as he has with his loving wife. 

His life is an open book.

Seriously. 

Who among us is so pure that they can cast the first stone?





If it wasn’t for progressives, there’d be no Maryland man at all – think about that.

And they’re hard at work trying to convince the American public that we need this gem of a Latin male right back here where he doesn’t belong. 

For all the virtue-signaling trips to El Salvador, weeping at the prison wailing walls when denied access to see their martyr of the moment…

 …and the constant spew of vicious, inflammatory invective directed at the administration, you wouldn’t think there was much space left for anyone else to muscle in on airtime.

Au contraire, mon frere.

The super-sized ego of the Illinois governor has found a way.

Pritzker has declared economic war on El Salvador and President Nayib Bukele and directed his state to immediately cease and desist doing business there.

Also, Trump sucks, like Hitler or something.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker acts against El Salvador over Kilmar Abrego Garcia

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker announced the state will take punitive actions against the country of El Salvador for holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia in custody.

“The United States Constitution guarantees due process. We are witnessing Donald Trump erode our fundamental Constitutional rights in real time, and we must fight to restore the balance of power,” said Pritzker. “The State of Illinois will stand up for the Rule of Law and do everything in our power (to) stop the Trump Administration from ripping apart our most basic rights.”





‘Do this right now,’ decreed the snapping-turtle Turk.

…Pritzker has asked the Illinois State Board of Investment, the State Universities Retirement System and the Teachers’ Retirement System to review any investments in companies controlled by El Salvador, with the purpose of withholding investments in those companies.

The governor is also directing the Illinois Department of Central Management Services to identify state contracts with companies controlled by El Salvador, with the purpose of stopping them.

Additionally, Pritzker wants the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Office of Trade and Investment to send in an analysis of the scale of trade El Salvador has with Illinois.

I will concede that while Gov. Pritzker is shaky on who he should be defending, he’s also an expert when it comes to ‘criminal’ matters, both the kind you lock up and what he’s done to the state. 

President Bukele, on the other hand, has proven to be adept at cleaning out the refuse, some of which was also the excuse for Maryland man’s continued presence in the United States. Bukele’s reforms have eliminated the gang that supposedly threatened Abrego Garcia’s existence in his home country.





As they were no longer a threat, President Bukele was kind enough to welcome home his errant Salvadoran citizen.

…NPR leaves out a couple of facts in its passing reference to his being “granted protection by an immigration judge.” Abrego Garcia already had a hearing at which the judge found evidence that he was an MS-13 member. It was not only based on his being arrested with MS-13 gang members and wearing clothing associated with the gang. It was also based on a confidential source connected to the gang. After losing at his hearing, Abrego Garcia then lost on appeal.

The only reason that Abrego Garcia was not removed is that he said that he was being threatened by a gang that could harm him in El Salvador. That gang, however, reportedly no longer exists.

More importantly, President Trump has declared MS-13 a Foreign Terrorist Organization, which bars the use of the justification for his not being removed. In other words, he has little factual or legal foundation under his original claims to remain in the country.

A good deed for which the state of Illinois now wants to punish the little country, or at least the rotund IL chief executive wants to make a fine public show of ‘doing something, something, outrage, outrage.‘

I choose Door Number Two.

Getting a leg up on Spartacus, Van Hollen, the fool AWFL who is insisting on staying in El Salvador until she wins her hero’s freedom, etc., is more to the point, I believe, for a governor of national aspirations.

Plus, he beat Gavin Newsom to a press release.

*sigh*





The progressive Greek chorus performance of The Ballad of Maryland Man dirge wails on.

Looks like it’s gonna be a while.

BYOB
