The WSJ is getting progressively more anti-Trump by the day. I can understand them taking an adversarial view of anything Trump does that affects market returns, but they seem to be attacking on all fronts. To run a front-page headline: “US, El Salvador Won’t Budge on Mistakenly Deported Man” is bowing to the left-wing narrative that this guy is somehow living the American dream, mowing his lawn and coaching youth soccer while raising a family in the suburbs. Baloney! Only recently has it come to light that he impregnated his girlfriend and only married her on the advice of his attorneys when he was picked up on charges of being an MS-13 gang member. Charges that appear to be true, incidentally, including human trafficking. The fear of “rival gangs retaliating against him” narrative is also full of holes, with fantastical reports of his grandmother’s taco stand getting muscled by a gang that exists on US soil, not in El Salvador.
Further, as Marco Rubio points out, he is a citizen of El Salvador and has been rightly returned to his home soil after illegally entering the US. Full stop. He is not a “Maryland Dad,” as the grandstanding Senator Van Hollen would have you believe, and he is, therefore, not your constituent, making his pending PR stunt to Central America particularly annoying to those who are. The judge never said he couldn’t be deported; he said he would not go to El Salvador, making Gaza and Ukraine favored destinations. So, let’s waste more tax dollars on this miscreant and send a jet to pick him up. We can allow him to get off at any Central American country he likes, preferably at 30,000 feet, because this administration is not going to import another illegal immigrant with ties to a terrorist organization into our country. Been there, done that. Those days are over. And the Wall Street Journal should know better. Your conservative readership will demand it.
