Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) picked the wrong hill to die on during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing this week — and that hill’s name was Kilmar Abrego Garcia, one of the most notorious MS-13 gangbangers in the Western Hemisphere. Yes, you read that right. While the rest of the country wants thugs like Garcia on the first plane out, Goldman decided to go full White Knight for an El Salvadoran gang member with a rap sheet and reputation that makes your skin crawl.
The fireworks started during a committee hearing with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who was there to discuss the fiscal year 2026 budget. But things quickly spiraled when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) attempted to enter evidence into the record proving Garcia’s MS-13 affiliation — evidence backed by gang units, ICE, and even an appellate board. You’d think this would be open and shut, but no — enter Dan Goldman, who erupted like a woke volcano.
Things are getting heated in the House Homeland Security Committee with Sec. Noem. Rep. MTG wanted to enter into the record a post from the U.S. AG stating Abrego Garcia is a MS-13 member.

“She’s not answering the question!” he yelled, interrupting MTG mid-sentence. Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) wasn’t having it: “Mr. Goldman, the floor is not yours!” he snapped. The back-and-forth only got more heated from there as Goldman whined about “misstating the record,” objected to every shred of evidence MTG cited, and even tried to hijack the process with, “Can I review?” The answer: a flat-out no.
And that wasn’t even the most embarrassing part.
When Goldman doubled down on defending Garcia — who, by the way, isn’t just a confirmed MS-13 member according to multiple law enforcement sources, but also a credibly accused wife-beater — Secretary Noem unloaded the truth bomb he’d been begging for all morning: “It’s got to be extremely discouraging to be one of your constituents. To see you fight for a terrorist like this and not fight for them is extremely alarming to me.”
HOLY CRAP! Kristi Noem just torched Dan Goldman!
"It's gotta be extremely discouraging to be one of your constituents."

Oof. That’s going to leave a mark.
Goldman’s grandstanding didn’t just blow up in his face — it exposed what today’s Democrat Party has become: defenders of violent criminals, gangbangers, and foreign nationals with zero respect for our laws. Meanwhile, they ignore hardworking, law-abiding Americans and refugees who actually want to contribute.
This is the hill Democrats have chosen: MS-13 over Main Street. And if they keep it up, Republicans might not even need a strategy for the midterms. The left is doing all the heavy lifting — straight off a political cliff.
