(DCNF)—Democratic strategist James Carville urged Democrats on Wednesday to strongly prioritize efforts to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia — an illegal migrant and alleged MS-13 gang member deported to his home nation of El Salvador.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested Garcia, who illegally entered the country in 2011, on March 12, according to court records. Carville, on his “Politics War Room” podcast, suggested Garcia’s deportation was a slippery slope and that Democrats should not shy away from focusing on it.
“People say, ‘Well, should we really fight on this turf or should we fight more on ordinary people?’ And this we should fight on — you can’t pivot to an economic issue,” Carville said. “Wait a minute, this is why we think we’re a country. And if they do this to him, it’s an old saying: ‘First they came for the you know, whatever, and then whatever and then they came for me.’”
“You know why you remember that saying? Because there’s wisdom in it. There’s real wisdom in it. And history has taught us that,” he continued. “And first they came for him and then we’re going to say no right there. And we gotta keep fighting this. I think this is worthy of being at the top agenda of things that we’re going to fight over is get this guy back home.”
Co-host Al Hunt responded that he “completely agree[d]” with Carville.
Democratic Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen, with the backing of others in his party, requested a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele to advocate for Garcia’s return. Van Hollen arrived in El Salvador on Wednesday but said the government did not permit his request to meet with Garcia, Axios reported.
He also met with El Salvador Vice President Félix Ulloa rather than Bukele, according to Axios.
CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings criticized Democrats Tuesday for their plans to travel to El Salvador to bring Garcia back to the U.S.
“Our opposition is apparently currently organizing congressional delegations to go to El Salvador to try to bring illegal aliens back to the United States,” Jennings said. “It’s politically crazy! … It’s political malpractice to send Democrat members of Congress to El Salvador to retrieve illegal aliens.”
President Donald Trump has faced pushback from Democrats for deporting Garcia. The Supreme Court ruled that the U.S. should “facilitate” his return, but the Trump administration is arguing it is not required to, saying he should remain in El Salvador due to his alleged links to MS-13 and previous deportation orders from 2019.
Bukele also asserted Monday during a White House meeting with Trump that he will not return Garcia to the United States.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
I agree with Carville and I think Kamala is the best candidate in 2028. They just need to hone their messaging on trans athletes competing in womens sporting events, trans-athletes sharing womens’ locker rooms, bringing as many foreign immigrants into the country as possible, healthcare as a right and free healthcare for all. That should insure a record turnout of voters in 2028. (all sarc.)
