Video: Fox News Reporter Caught Off Guard by What Maryland Locals Say About Deported MS-13 Gangbanger
Baltimore, MD – A Fox News segment on Jesse Watters Primetime aired on April 21, 2025, left reporter Kevin Corke visibly stunned as Maryland locals expressed fierce support for the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran with alleged MS-13 ties, directly contradicting the narrative pushed by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD). The clip, shared on X and viewed over 700,000 times, captures a woman in a park telling Corke, “He’s not a Maryland dad—he’s a gang member who needs to go!”—a sentiment that has conservatives cheering and exposing what they see as Democratic disconnect.
The woman, wearing a white shirt with cartoon characters, spoke passionately outside a Baltimore community center, saying, “We don’t want him here—deport him!” Her words echo a broader backlash against Van Hollen, who has advocated for Garcia’s return to the U.S. after his March 15, 2025, deportation to El Salvador, despite a Supreme Court order to facilitate his return, per Reuters []. Garcia’s alleged MS-13 ties, evidenced by a 2019 DOJ report and a knuckle tattoo, per Politico [], have fueled local outrage, especially after President Trump released a photo of the tattoo on April 18.

Conservatives on X, like @MAGAForce2024, celebrated the woman’s bluntness: “Maryland locals aren’t buying Van Hollen’s BS—Garcia’s a thug, not a ‘dad’!” @PatriotPulse added, “Fox News thought they’d find sympathy for Garcia, but locals shut that down quick!” The segment aired the same day another Salvadoran migrant was convicted of murdering Maryland resident Rachel Morin, per The Baltimore Sun on April 15 [], amplifying local frustration with Van Hollen’s focus on Garcia, whose wife Jennifer also filed protective orders against him, per RedState [].
Watters himself has been vocal, previously arguing on April 16 that Garcia’s Chicago Bulls hat signaled MS-13 affiliation, per The Independent []. The woman’s comments, delivered at 6:13 MT as shown on the broadcast, caught Corke off guard, with his expression shifting as she continued, “He doesn’t belong here—send him back!” For conservatives, this moment on Fox News is proof that Maryland residents align with Trump’s hardline stance—88,763 deportations since January 2025, per DHS []—and reject Democratic efforts to bring Garcia back. @America1stMAGA wrote, “Locals are speaking—Van Hollen’s out of touch, but Trump’s got their back!”
Maybe this is one of the reasons why locals support the deportation:

I’m shrewd, passionate, learned and energetic, God-fearing and patriotic. I’ve done a fine job reintroducing good old American conservatism to a new generation of Americans. I’ve earned the love and friendship of many, the hatred of some, but the respect of all.
If you came into this country without following due process, we can send you back to where you came from without due process. That’s how it works. It’s called the law. ACLU should be ashamed of themselves, these judges should be ashamed of themselves. It is clear who’s in charge. The cartels have been running parts of the US for decades. And they’re behind this as much as George Soros is. If they love this guy so much they want him back here then they need to open up their guest room and let him live there.
I’m making over $13k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is where I started
