Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen has arrived in El Salvador to advocate for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man deported under a contentious immigration policy despite a court order against his deportation. Van Hollen aims to meet Abrego Garcia and U.S. embassy officials during his visit. The case highlights concerns regarding Trump administration's deportation policies and perceived court disrespect. The senator has pledged to fight for Abrego Garcia's return to his family as other Democratic lawmakers consider similar visits to El Salvador.
"I told his wife and his family that I would do everything possible to bring him home, and we're going to keep working at this until we're successful."
"The goal of this mission is to let the Trump administration, to let the government of El Salvador know that we are going to keep fighting to bring Abrego Garcia home until he returns to his family."
"Democrats have seized on the case to highlight what they say is President Donald Trump's disrespect for the courts and overcome their position in the minority in both the House and Senate."
"The Trump administration and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele said this week that they have no basis to send him back, even as the U.S. Supreme Court has called on the administration to facilitate his return."
