Noem spoke out about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom she said is a "known MS-13 gang member, human trafficker and serial domestic abuser."

The grand jury found that Abrego Garcia made the trips as part of a ring that trafficked guns, drugs, children and women, Bondi said. She said co-conspirators alleged that he abused women he was transporting and played a role in the killing of a rival gang member’s mother.
