Tennessee authorities have released damning body camera footage from a 2022 traffic stop involving illegal alien and suspected MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego-Garcia — a man tied to domestic violence, gang activity, and human trafficking who was ultimately let go at the direction of Joe Biden’s FBI.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) pulled over Abrego-Garcia on November 30, 2022, for speeding and swerving. When troopers approached his vehicle, they were shocked to discover eight male passengers packed inside.
Initially claiming he was driving from St. Louis to his Maryland residence, he later said he was headed to another town for “construction work.”
All passengers gave the same address as Abrego-Garcia, yet there was no luggage in the vehicle—a red flag for human trafficking. The trooper noted $1,400 in cash on Abrego-Garcia, likely payment for smuggling, and an invalid Maryland driver’s license.
“He’s hauling these people for money,” one trooper said in the bodycam footage, obtained by Fox News Digital through a public records request.
When the trooper asked whose vehicle he was driving, Abrego-Garcia replied that it belonged to his “boss.”
Turns out, that so-called “boss” was none other than Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes—a convicted human trafficker. Reyes pleaded guilty to conspiring to smuggle illegal aliens across the country and was sentenced in 2020. This bombshell was confirmed after The Tennessee Star got its hands on damning court documents.
Despite the overwhelming evidence — the cash, the fake Maryland driver’s license, the contradictory statements, the gang affiliation, and a pattern matching known trafficking operations — ICE failed to respond when contacted, according to Fox News.
After THP took Abrego-Garcia into custody, they contacted the FBI for guidance. In a move that defies logic, Joe Biden’s FBI ordered THP to release him.
THP complied, and Abrego-Garcia walked free—until his eventual deportation to El Salvador’s Terrorist Confinement Center (CECOT) last month, long after he should have been locked away.

Prior to this event, on March 28, 2019, Abrego-Garcia was arrested along with three other men by the Prince George’s County Police Department for loitering.
Abrego-Garcia was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat and a hoodie with imagery of rolls of money covering the eyes, ears, and mouth of U.S. presidents, which police claimed was “indicative of Hispanic gang culture” and associated with MS-13.
The phrase linked to the clothing, “ver, oir y callar” (see no evil, hear no evil, say no evil), was noted as symbolic of MS-13 membership.
A confidential informant, described as “past proven and reliable,” identified Abrego-Garcia as an active MS-13 member with the “Westerns clique,” holding the rank of “Chequeo” and the moniker “Chele.”
Two of the men in the group were found in possession of marijuana, and some discarded items under a vehicle, though specifics of the items were not detailed.
One of the men, Christhyan Hernandez-Romero, was identified as a known MS-13 member with the “Sailors Clique” and an extensive criminal history.
Another man, Jose Guillermo Dominguez, had tattoos described as indicative of higher-ranking MS-13 membership.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that two protective orders were filed by Jennifer Vasquez Sura against her husband, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, for domestic violence. The first protective order was filed in August 2020, and the second in May 2021.
According to the detailed account from August 3, 2020, Garcia took her phone, attempted to seize her car, locked their children in a room, shut off the stove while she was cooking, and ultimately physically assaulted her when she sought help.
The wife managed to call 911 only by retrieving her phone from the car—only for Garcia to break the phone in front of officers when they arrived.
Sura wrote in the report, “This is not the 1st time. It has been a couple of occasions he takes my phone and car & I’m left without being able to call anyone. I have photos of all the houses he’s left on my body. In my house is broken TVs, my son’s tablet, my car windshield, phones. Me & my kids are afraid now. He kicked me, pushed me, slapped me in the face. Threaten me, I also have a recording that he told my ex-mother-in-law that even if he kills me, no one can do anything to him.”
According to the 2021 protective order against Abego Garcia, the court found that he “punched and scratched” and “ripped off the shirt, grabbed, and bruised” Vasquez.
Abrego Garcia was also prohibited from contacting or attempting to contact Vasquez, from entering her residence, and ordered to vacate the residence. He was further ordered to “stay away from” Vasquez’s mother’s home.
Also, according to a 2018 emergency custody petition first obtained by Fox 45 News, filed by Edwin Trejo Ramos in Prince George’s County Circuit Court, outlined disturbing allegations, including concerns over Jennifer Vasquez Sura’s unstable behavior, a suicide attempt, and her decision to leave their children with an 11-year-old babysitter.
“She is dating a gang member,” Ramos explicitly said in his plea for an emergency hearing, which was ultimately denied and dismissed in early 2019 on jurisdictional grounds, according to The New York Post.
