The moment Kilmar Abrego Garcia — the suspected MS-13 gangbanger booted from the US and into El Salvador’s “hellhole” mega-prison — was accused of human trafficking during a 2022 traffic stop in Tennessee was revealed in a new bodycam video.
One trooper can be heard saying that the 29-year-old Salvadoran “was hauling these people for money,” according to footage obtained by Fox News Thursday.
“He’s getting paid to haul these people, probably to Maryland, I’d say if I had my guess,” the trooper said.
There were eight people in the vehicle with Abrego Garcia in the driver’s seat.
A source told the outlet that in a redacted portion of the video, troopers talked about calling immigration enforcement officials.
While a phone call was made, federal authorities didn’t show up, Fox News reported.
Controversy erupted last month when Abrego Garcia was deported from the country and sent to a hellhole jail in his native El Salvador.
