                             ABREGO GARCIA

  (Mr. BURCHETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURCHETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise this afternoon to speak to America 
about Abrego Garcia, the alleged MS-13 member and illegal alien who the 
Trump administration deported back home to El Salvador.
  I would like to ask my Democrat colleagues this question: Where was 
your outrage when the Biden administration allowed millions of 
undocumented illegals into our country? Where was your outrage when my 
own constituents, the Corcoran family, were crying over the body of 
their child who was killed at the hands of an illegal? Where were you 
when Laken Riley and many other Americans were slaughtered by illegal 
aliens who were allowed into our country under your open-border 
policies?
  Now you want to go on TV and act outraged about Abrego Garcia being 
deported? Give me a break.
  Here are the facts. He was pulled over by the Tennessee Highway 
Patrol for speeding with an expired license. He was detained. He had 
folks in his vehicle that were apparently not American citizens. Then 
he was ordered by Biden's FBI to be released.
  In court documents, his wife even said: ``At this point, I am afraid 
to be close to him.'' She goes on to say: ``I have multiple photos, 
videos of how violent he can be . . . ''
  When Democrats grandstand on the deportation of a wife-beating El 
Salvadorian, MS-13 gang member and chant ``Bring him home,'' I have 
good news for you. He is home, and he will never be able to call 
America home.
