Texas Lawmaker Breaks Ranks with Fellow Democrats on Immigration


U.S. Rep. Henry Cueller, a Texas Democrat and a Mexican American, says his party is losing credibility with its advocacy of an illegal immigrant the Trump administration alleges is a violent MS-13 member.

“This is not the right issue to talk about due process,” Cuellar told the Brian Kilmeade Show on Fox News Radio. “This is not the right case. This is not the right person to be saying that we need to bring him back to the United States.”

The Texas lawmaker is speaking of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the 29-year-old illegal immigrant deported in March to a prison in El Salvador.
