Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland has traveled to El Salvador to advocate for the return of his constituent, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported due to an administrative error. Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident, was wrongfully deported by the Trump administration and is currently held in El Salvador's CECOT prison. The U.S. Supreme Court has ordered his safe return to the United States. El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has declined to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return, prompting Van Hollen to take direct action. The senator aims to meet with Salvadoran officials and check on Abrego Garcia's well-being. Van Hollen expressed his commitment to bringing Abrego Garcia home and emphasized the importance of adhering to court orders. He plans to hold discussions with government officials to secure his constituent's release.

Senator Chris Van Hollen is flying to El Salvador to fight for an illegal MS-13 gang member who was rightfully deported. @ChrisVanHollen calls him a “Maryland man.” He’s not. He’s a violent foreign criminal, and your taxpayer dollars are being used to try and bring him back. https://t.co/18pWqEZrgw
