Trump's counterterrorism czar says Kilmar Abrego Garcia's supporters could be charged with ‘aiding and abetting'
2025-04-17
[Independent] Donald Trump’s counterterrorism czar Sebastian Gorka claims Americans who don’t support the president’s anti-immigration agenda and deportations policy are "on the side of the terrorists."

He suggested advocates for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran father living in Maryland who was mistakenly deported to a brutal prison in his home country, could be prosecuted for "aiding and abetting."

"It’s not left and right, it’s not even Republican or Democrat. There’s one line that divides us: Do you love America, or do you hate America? It’s really quite that simple," Gorka told Newsmax on Wednesday.

“We have people that love America, like the president, like his cabinet, like the directors of his agencies, who want to protect Americans. And then there’s the other side that is on the side of the cartel members, on the side of the illegal aliens, on the side of the terrorists,” he added. “And you have to ask yourself: Are they technically aiding and abetting them? Because aiding and abetting criminals and terrorists is a crime in federal statute.”

Gorka, who serves as a deputy secretary to the president and the White House senior director for counterterrorism, is tasked with developing the Trump administration’s approach to combating domestic terrorism.
