I guess we're just calling him "Kilmar" now — we're so familiar with the Maryland man, and photos seem to show there's a love connection between Kilmar Abrego Garcia and Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen.
The White House posted a picture Saturday of President Donald Trump holding up a close-up photo of the tattoos on Abrego Garcia's knuckles. There have been a lot of people pointing out that the picture has been Photoshopped — these are the same people who called Pete Hegseth a white nationalist because of his tattoos and fellow Trump nominee a Nazi for having the word "Panzer" tattooed on his arm (not mentioning the had Jäger tattooed on his other arm).

Yes, the photo has been altered. If you zoom in, you can see they added "MS-13" over the symbols on Abrego Garcia's knuckles to translate their meaning.
MAZE notes that The Independent published a piece about the "altered image."
OMG. The Independent just published an article claiming that Trump photoshopped the image and used this post as its main source. Higgins apparently doesn't understand that the M S 1 3 were added as labels. 🤣 https://t.co/7GRBw9IoN6 pic.twitter.com/jrNJeJQ9Gg

If he wasn't an illegal alien gang member criminal, the left would never be supporting him in the first place.

It’s all fake. He actually has hearts tattoos on his knuckles pic.twitter.com/T5FAbkfLzq
His wife allegedly added those after his deportation.
Here’s a photo of Kilmar’s hand President Trump just showed this pretty sure that says MS 13 liberals the media blurred out the picture of Van Holland shaking his MS 13 hand. You can’t see it on that because good old lying liberal media smudged it out. pic.twitter.com/OL07XCx3Vb

Word is that MSNBC blurred out the tattoos in its coverage of his rendezvous with Van Hollen.
I'm posting this just because it's hilarious.

Even if he's a gang member, he didn't do anything wrong by entering the U.S. illegally and possibly doing a little human trafficking.
I remember back when Trump, during his first term, called MS-13 "animals," and it set off a two-week news cycle. Nancy Pelosi asked if they didn't have the "spark of divinity" in them? Others claimed he called all illegal immigrants animals.
It's truly amazing what hills the Democrats have chosen to die on.
