What the Trump Doctrine Says About Conservatives Who Are Against MS-13 and Open Borders

There was more going on than just a campaign speech when President Donald J. Trump spoke to the brave men and women of law enforcement on Long Island. He laid out a national philosophy. A set of rules based on common sense, patriotism, and a firm determination to keep American families safe from the violence of foreign gangs like MS-13. His words were clear, honest, and necessary: MS-13 must be wiped out in the United States.

It wasn’t about politics on this mission. It had to do with life and death. President Trump stood firm where other presidents had wavered. He gave police more power, increased ICE activities, and stressed how important it was to deport criminal aliens. An important part of the country that really heard him was Suffolk County, New York, where MS-13 had already taken root.

Heriff Errol Toulon Jr. has been at the front of that fight. Toulon, who is a police officer, has seen the damage that MS-13, a gang whose motto is “kill, rape, control,” has done. The horrible killings by cutting up bodies, attacks with machetes, and ritualistic murders are not urban legends; they are brutal facts.

Americans are once again being hit hard with the reality that the gang has not gone away with the case of Kilar Abrego Garcia. Slowed down and spread out, but not killed. The leftist media, progressive politicians, and activists who support illegal immigration are doing everything they can to play down the danger and change the truth.

Being in a gang and the tattoo that the left wants to get rid of

If you’re not part of the liberal media industrial complex or an open-borders leader more interested in virtue signaling than national safety, the facts about Kilar Abrego Garcia are scary and can’t be argued with.

The picture in question shows a stylized and coded finger tattoo. If you haven’t seen it before, it might look unclear. But Sheriff Toulon and other police officers who have spent years figuring out gang symbols can see right away: the tattoo is MS-13 branding.

It was broken down by Trump himself: marijuana leaves for “M,” a smiley face for “S,” a cross for “1,” and two Ys for “3.” These aren’t just random. They are part of a scary language that MS-13 uses all over the Americas.

But critics say the picture was changed, even though it looks pretty much the same in all of the sources. Why are you so quick to say no? Liberals have supported or ignored a known gang member in their fight against border enforcement because if they accepted the tattoo as real, they would have to face the uncomfortable truth.

What’s more telling is how Garcia’s own family reacted. In a social media post by his wife, the tattoos were covered up with love emojis. This was likely done on purpose to make the picture look better for the public. Why keep something secret that isn’t true?

The picture that shouldn’t have happened: political bias and Democratic collusion

The now-famous picture of Abrego Garcia shaking hands with Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen makes things worse. Conservatives will remember this picture for a long time. This man has tattoos that connect him to one of the world’s most dangerous gangs. He is shaking hands with a U.S. Senator who has consistently fought against stricter border enforcement.

Not only does it look bad, but it also shows how disconnected the Democratic Party is from reality today. As they wax lyrical about “compassion” and “human rights,” they never talk about the rights of American victims of MS-13 violence.

That picture not only hurts Senator Van Hollen’s character, but it also shows how the Democratic establishment refuses to see how dangerous criminal illegal immigrants are. The left calls it “racism” or “xenophobia” when police officers or conservatives sound the alarm instead of looking at the facts.

Sheriff Toulon’s Mission: A Conservative’s Example of Bravery and Working Together Around the World

It was more than just a show when Sheriff Toulon went to El Salvador in 2018 and 2023. They were part of a growing movement of conservatives who wanted to work together to fight foreign crime. At the same time that the Biden administration continues to appease international elites and weaken immigration enforcement, leaders like Toulon are making bridges that save lives.

During his trip in 2023, Toulon met with officials from El Salvador who were working for President Nayib Bukele, who is another conservative reformist whose tough war on gangs has caught the attention of people around the world. The rise of Bukele shows that good leadership works. It took him less than five years to turn El Salvador from a murder city to a country that took back its independence.

SECOT, the famous mega-prison built to hold the worst of the worst, is at the center of this change. The building of SECOT, which cut off the country’s supply of concrete for nine months, is a strong metaphor for how sacrifices are needed for a country to survive.

Inside SECOT: A Plan for Deterrence from the Conservative Side

SECOT isn’t a fancy getaway. It’s not a rehab place that talks a lot of progressive talk. It’s a prison for criminals who have given up their right to routine.

In SECOT, there are 60 to 70 people in each cell. There are no visits, phones, commissaries, or easy rules. Not much clothes. Not many rights. There are only bars, concrete, and results.

There are liberals who think this is “inhumane.” It is justice for those who have lost sons, daughters, and friends to MS-13 violence.

Conservatives who know that being soft on crime only makes criminals more likely should study, copy, and respect SECOT. Sheriff Toulon’s support for the jail and its goals is very different from the Biden administration’s support for “community-based alternatives to detention” and early-release programs for people who are not citizens of the United States.

The war on symbols is between law enforcement and liberal stories

When it comes to fighting gangs, tattoo recognition is not a matter of personal taste; it’s a scientific method. Icons are used by all of the world’s big gangs. MS-13 is the same. Their scars aren’t just for looks. They are pledges of allegiance, rage, and purpose.

The standards that Suffolk County and other law enforcement agents use are very clear. It doesn’t mean nothing that a sign is controversial. It becomes more important, especially when it’s used to find criminals who are hiding in our neighborhoods.

Because they know what’s at stake, liberals try to water down these views. If people see the tattoos as proof of being in a gang, the left’s story about safe cities starts to fall apart.

The Emoji Cover-Up: How Social Media Became a Way to Change the Truth

Garcia’s wife’s post on social media is more than just a show of love. It’s been worked out. Heart emojis right on top of the tattoos on the knuckles of people in gangs? That’s not a mistake. That is selection.

Images go viral before facts are checked in this age of digital action. Emotions are being used instead of facts by the family and those who support them by cleaning up the visual proof.

Conservative minds need to stay alert. Now the next big thing in the war against truth is changing visual proof. The left doesn’t just want to reject facts; they want to erase them before people can even understand them.

Why the Left Won’t Tell the Truth

The truth about Kilar Abrego Garcia’s gang membership could show how hypocritical liberals are in general. Conservatives have been saying for years that criminals can get into the country through weak borders and blind charity. The claims are going crazy now that the tattoos are out in the open as physical proof.

The Democrats won’t admit that they have ties to gangs because they want to look good. It’s to keep up the false idea that all illegal immigrants are good people who follow the law. It’s about keeping alive a story that puts philosophy ahead of safety.

But Republicans are smarter than that. People in the US who live in MS-13 areas know better. Sheriff Toulon is smarter than that. And President Trump knew this when he took a strong stand in 2017 that woke up the whole country.

Getting back law and order: the conservative mandate

There is a simple idea at the heart of the right movement: America is worth protecting.

It needs to protect its borders, its people, and its future. It means refusing the idea held by globalists that open borders lead to peace. It means admitting that bad things happen and that bad things often have tattoos.

There should never have been a fuss over Kilar Abrego Garcia’s case. It should have been easy: find, examine, and deport. There was some liberal meddling, though, and it turned into a political hot potato.

Sheriff Toulon’s work, which is supported by President Trump’s impact and the growing support for conservative leaders like Bukele, shows what the future will be like. In the future, criminals won’t get safe haven; they’ll face results. A future where police aren’t viewed negatively but are instead given more power. In the future, fairness will be more important than showing morals.

In conclusion, the conservative way to move forward

It’s not just one man or one tattoo. For the soul of the country, it’s a fight. A fight between those who lie and those who protect. In the middle of law and chaos. Between telling the truth and lying.

The conservatives need to stick to their plans. We have a long way to go in our fight against MS-13. We can win, though, if we stay alert, get strong, and have bold leaders.

Emojis may be a way for the left to hide. But as Americans, we tell them the truth, even if it makes them feel bad.
