Jessica Tarlov vs. Jeanine Pirro: The Debate Over Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s Deportation

The heated debate surrounding the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, took center stage on The Five during a fiery exchange between co-hosts Jessica Tarlov and Jeanine Pirro. At the heart of the debate was the Trump administration’s controversial decision to deport Garcia to El Salvador, a move that the White House admitted was an “administrative error.” While Pirro defended the administration’s actions, Tarlov passionately countered, focusing on the lack of evidence for Garcia’s gang affiliations and the broader implications of wrongful deportations.

The Context of Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s Deportation
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had lived in Maryland for over a decade, was deported to El Salvador in March 2025, despite being legally present in the U.S. with a work permit. Garcia had entered the U.S. illegally in 2011 but had been allowed to remain in the country under the protection of a work visa. However, his deportation was triggered after accusations surfaced that he was affiliated with the MS-13 gang, a claim that has been widely contested.

The Trump administration justified Garcia’s deportation by labeling him a dangerous gang member with ties to MS-13, which the U.S. government had recently designated as a terrorist organization. However, no formal charges were brought against Garcia, and he had never been convicted of being a member of the notorious gang.
