Kilmar Abrego Garcia allegedly worked for convicted human smuggler to transport illegal migrants - report | 7 May 2025 | Accused MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia allegedly worked as a "taxi service" for a convicted human smuggler to transport illegal migrants from Texas to various locations across the United States, according to a report. Jose Ramon Hernandez-Reyes, who was convicted of smuggling illegal migrants in 2020, told federal investigators that he previously operated a smuggling service based in Baltimore -- and hired Abrego Garcia on "multiple occasions" to transport border crossers across the country, ABC News reported. The Department of Justice sent federal agents to a prison in Talladega, Alabama, late last month to question Hernandez-Reyes, 38, about Abrego Garcia, the alleged gangbanger at the center of a high-profile court battle over his [so-called] mistaken deportation from Maryland to El Salvador by the Trump administration.
