The Department of Defense is experiencing significant upheaval, with Secretary Hegseth removing four staffers in a single day [3].

The deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador has become a major political flashpoint.

DHS has released what it calls “hard evidence” supporting Garcia’s alleged MS-13 ties [3], while police records characterize him as a “violent” repeat domestic abuser [4]. Media coverage has been criticized, with police records reportedly undermining characterizations of him as being “wrongly deported” [5]. Garcia was previously detained during a 2022 traffic stop on suspicion of human trafficking [6]. The White House has questioned Senator Van Hollen’s advocacy for Garcia [7].
