Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a documented MS-13 gang member and suspected human trafficker, is now freely posting videos on TikTok in the United States following his release from immigration detention by an activist judge.

Meanwhile, officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) find themselves muzzled by a gag order imposed by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, an Obama appointee.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, has long been on the radar of U.S. law enforcement for his affiliations with the notorious MS-13 gang, also known as Mara Salvatrucha.

Originating in Los Angeles in the 1980s and spreading across the U.S. and Central America, MS-13 is infamous for its involvement in violent crimes, including murder, extortion, and human trafficking.
