NEW VIDEO: Gabe Vasquez Puts Criminal Illegal Aliens over New Mexicans
Gabe Vasquez is once again pandering to the radical left, with new video capturing Vasquez claim, “I’m not going to rest until we bring Abrego back” and brag about his vote against the Laken Riley Act saying, “I did, I voted against the Laken Riley Act.”
Kilmar Abrego Garcia has become the new new poster child for out of touch Democrats: a confirmed criminal illegal immigrant, MS-13 gang member, and alleged domestic abuser.
The bipartisan Laken Riley Act was passed and signed into law following an illegal immigrant brutally murdering 22-year old Laken Riley.
These extreme comments follow Vasquez’s rich history of being soft on crime and weak on border issues, leading to chaos in New Mexico.
“Time and time again, out of touch Democrat Gabe Vasquez chooses to prioritize criminal illegal aliens over the well-being of hardworking New Mexicans. He’s completely abandoned common sense, pandering to the radical left while betraying the very people who will vote him out of office next year.” – NRCC spokesman Zach Bannon

In his speech, Vasquez claimed some said it would take “courage” to vote against the Laken Riley Act, to which the Democratic congressman exclaimed, “I did. I voted against [the bill],” leading the audience to cheer. “Because due process is a fundamental part of who we are as Americans,” he continued.

Vasquez went on to bash the Trump administration for deporting illegal migrants, including Abrego Garcia, claiming U.S. citizens aren’t safe from being removed from the country if the Trump administration gets “their way.”

Abrego Garcia, who has been the focus of Democratic talking points criticizing Trump’s immigration policies, was one of many illegal immigrants who were deported to the El Salvadorian “Terrorism Confinement Center” (CECOT) in March.
It was most recently revealed that the 29-year-old illegal migrant and suspected member of the violent MS-13 gang was pulled over while driving an SUV that belonged to another illegal immigrant who confessed to human smuggling in 2020.
