Hollywood liberal Jon Cryer claims that President Donald Trump kidnapped and tortured a convicted criminal who entered the United States illegally.

Cryer turned to BlueSky, a fringe social media platform heavily used by progressives, to voice his support for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an El Salvadoran national with a long history of violence and gang ties.

Despite Garcia’s extensive record, Cryer chose to attack Trump, writing, “Trump and Stephen Miller basically kidnapped the wrong guy and are now moving heaven and earth to torture him and pretend they had a reason other than bigotry.”

Garcia’s rap sheet spans years of criminal activity. He has been connected to the notorious MS-13 gang, operated as an illegal labor trafficker in 2022, and was accused of repeatedly abusing his wife, Jennifer Vasquez, who sought multiple restraining orders to protect herself.

Garcia has lived in the U.S. for 15 years, yet still requires an interpreter to address reporters.

Even with such a troubling background, Democrats and left-leaning activists have championed his case.

Among his most prominent supporters is Maryland Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen, who personally traveled to El Salvador to meet with Garcia.

Garcia recently reunited with his family after 160 days apart when he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador.

But his legal battles resumed almost immediately. He was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during a mandatory Baltimore check-in, though a federal judge ruled that he cannot yet be deported.

One of Garcia’s attorneys, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, blasted the decision to detain him.

“There was no need to take him into ICE detention. … The only reason they took him into detention was to punish him” for attempting to fight deportation proceedings.

Sandoval-Moshenberg confirmed that Garcia was transferred to a Virginia detention facility.

His client had already been deported in March but returned to the United States in June after being indicted for transporting individuals unlawfully present in the country.

Garcia denied those charges and his legal team filed a lawsuit demanding he not be removed until all due process avenues are exhausted.

The legal filing also challenged the Trump administration’s move to deport Garcia to Uganda.

Sandoval-Moshenberg called the effort nothing more than “a very inconvenient layover to El Salvador.”

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis intervened, temporarily halting deportation to Uganda.

She raised concerns that the country had not offered credible guarantees regarding Garcia’s legal protections or refugee status.

“Several grounds” may allow her to exercise relief, she said, pointing out that Uganda had not agreed to prevent his potential re-deportation to El Salvador.

Before being detained, Garcia made a public appearance alongside family members, activists, and faith leaders, declaring in Spanish, “My name is Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and I want you to remember this, remember that I am free and I was able to be reunited with my family.”

“This was a miracle. Thank you to God and thank you to the community,” he added.

“I want to thank each and every one of you who marched. Lift your voices, never stop praying and continue to fight in my name.”

Court filings revealed that the Trump administration had offered Garcia a plea deal.

If he pleaded guilty to charges in Tennessee, he could serve time and then be deported to Costa Rica, where authorities reportedly would allow him to live freely.

Garcia refused the deal, with his lawyer insisting he “will not accept charges of which he’s not guilty.”

Still, the same lawyer said deportation to Costa Rica “would be a perfectly reasonable option” compared to Uganda.

Garcia is also seeking asylum in the United States. It is his second attempt after a prior denial in 2019.

If granted, it could place him on a path to citizenship. Judge Xinis, however, reminded attorneys that she cannot decide asylum claims.

“We have the understanding that the asylum process is of no moment to me. I don’t have jurisdiction over that,” she clarified.

She reiterated that her role was to guarantee Garcia’s due process rights, ensuring his case proceeds through proper immigration channels.

“There could be shades of that,” she added, noting her authority extended only to whether Garcia receives an appropriate trial process.

Meanwhile, Garcia’s attorneys filed a motion to silence top administration officials, seeking a gag order against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi.

The motion accused the officials of launching “highly prejudicial, inflammatory and false statements” that could damage Garcia’s right to a fair trial.

His lawyers demanded that “all DOJ and DHS officials involved in this case, and all officials in their supervisory chain, including [Bondi and Noem], refrain from making extrajudicial comments that pose a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing this proceeding.”

The administration has not backed away from its stance. The Department of Homeland Security posted on social media, “He doesn’t belong here. He won’t be staying here. America is a safer nation without this MS-13 Gangbanger in it.”

One DHS official went further, stating, “If Kilmar Abrego Garcia did not want to be mentioned by the Secretary of Homeland Security, then he should have not entered our country illegally and committed heinous crimes.”
