Exclusive | Alleged MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia told ICE he wasnt afraid to go back to Central America before deportation to megaprison

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the alleged MS-13 member who was deported to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT megaprison last month, told ICE officers he didn’t fear returning to Central America before being loaded onto a one-way flight to his home country, sources tell The Post.Abrego’s Garcia’s admission undercuts a statement he gave to the feds in 2019 expressing that he did in fact fear returning to El Salvador due to the threat of gang violence.In March of that year, ICE took Abrego Garcia into custody after local cops found him socializing with confirmed MS-13 soldiers in a Maryland Home Depot parking lot and he was found to be in the US illegally, according to documents released by the Department of Justice Wednesday.A “past proven and reliable source” told a Hyattsville City Police Department detective that Abrego Garcia was a member of MS-13’s Western clique who carried the rank of “Chequeo” and the moniker “Chele,” according to a gang field interview sheet.Cops also noted Abrego Garcia was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat and hoodie with rolls of money covering the eyes, ears and mouth of the presidents on the different denominations, which is “indicative of the Hispanic gang culture.”“Wearing the Chicago Bulls hat represents that they are a member in good standing with the MS-13,” the police report read.However, an immigration judge blocked the feds’ ability to deport Abrego Garcia to El Salvador in October 2019, accepting the Salvadoran’s claim he was at risk of retaliation from gangs like Barrio 18, MS-13’s chief rival.Abrego Garcia was shipped off with 260 other reputed gang members March 15 under the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act, which President Trump invoked to deport them rapidly and without a hearing.Attorneys for Abrego Garcia insist their client has no criminal record in the US that would justify his removal, while the government says his illegal crossing of the US-Mexico border in 2011 forfeits any right to stay in America....
