Sen. Chris Van Hollen was denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia at a Salvadoran prison where Garcia, an alleged MS-13 member, is detained. Van Hollen recently met with El Salvador's vice president to lobby for Garcia's release, declaring the situation unsustainable. His efforts have drawn criticism, especially with rising concerns regarding migrant-related crimes back in Maryland. Notably, Abrego Garcia's wife had previously sought a restraining order against him, raising questions about his character. The Trump administration and other critics have pointed to local crime incidents, including a recent high-profile murder, as reasons for questioning Van Hollen's priorities.
I promised them [Abrego Garcia's family] that I would do everything I could to get him out. I won't stop trying. This is an unsustainable and unjust moment.
The criminal illegal immigrant is already home - he's a Salvadoran citizen. Where was his [Van Hollen's] concern for Maryland constituents put at risk by the many other illegal immigrants allowed to roam free until now?
