Donald Trump on Sunday called for Democrats and members of the media who have defended a wrongly deported man to be "held responsible" by the courts.
Trump earlier in the day lashed out at businessmen who criticized his tariff policies. After that, he commented on the case involving a Maryland man, Kilmar Ábrego García, who was purportedly sent to El Salvador in error.
"Radical Lunatic Democrats and their Comrades in the Fake News Media are falsely making Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia out to be a very sweet and innocent person, which is a total, blatant, and dangerous LIE," Trump said. He then claimed, "Garcia has been found by two separate Courts to be a member of the violent, killer gang MS-13, was in our Country illegally, and is under a Deportation Order."

The president added, "It is despicable and unAmerican for Liberals and the Mainstream Media to hate our Country so much, and be obsessed with protecting criminals, instead of working to keep our Border, streets, and families safe."
"Those lying to the American People on behalf of violent criminals have to be held responsible by the Agencies and the Courts. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" he concluded.
