They are MS-13,” White House spokesman Kush Desai told Fox News Digital on Wednesday when asked about other photos that appear to not display the “MS13” in Abrego Garcia’s hands. “The ice investigations, local police investigations, and the Salvadoran government all determined that he was an illegal foreigner of the MS-13 terrorist who gave birth to a wife who should not be in the United States. There is no controversy over these facts.”
