What the hell is it with communist Democrats and illegal alien gangbangers? We all know about Chris Van Hollen, popping off to El Salvador to have margaritas with an MS-13 gangbanger named Kilmer Abrego Garcia.. Now we have this guy, Don Beyer from Virginia meeting with 18th street gangbanger Ricardo Hernando..
A Democratic congressman “personally requested” to meet with a criminal gangbanger and several other illegal migrants with serious rap sheets during a detention facility tour, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Amid a Friday visit to the Farmville Detention Center — an immigration detention center in central Virginia — Democratic Virginia Rep. Don Beyer personally requested to meet with several illegal migrant detainees with heinous criminals rap sheets, DHS exclusively shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. One of the individuals Beyer asked to meet with was Ricardo Hernando, an 18th Street gang member previously convicted of parental kidnapping, abduction by force, burglary to commit armed larceny and a slate of other crimes.
The 18th Street gang, also known as Barrio 18, is a massive criminal syndicate originating in Los Angeles that boasts tens of thousands of members across the U.S., Mexico and Central America, according to the Department of Justice. The gang largely takes in revenue from drug distribution, and its members have been convicted of an endless number of crimes, such as homicide, drive-by shootings and robberies.
“Congressman Beyer personally requested to meet with an 18th street gang member, drug trafficker, and repeat DUI offender who are in our country illegally,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated in a public comment shared with the DCNF. “He continues to do the bidding of dangerous criminal illegal aliens that endanger his own constituents.”
A spokesperson for Beyer’s office did not respond to a request for comment from the DCNF.
