Van Hollen: El Salvador Vice President Says US Paying to Imprison Abrego Garcia
Briefly

Senator Chris Van Hollen revealed that the Salvadoran Vice President Félix Ulloa claims that Kilmar Abrego García, a wrongly deported Maryland resident, is detained due to a contractual obligation with the U.S. government. In an interview, Ulloa stated that El Salvador has no role in deciding the legality of García's imprisonment, indicating their only reason for holding him is the payment received from the U.S. for hosting detainees. Van Hollen's communications with Ulloa underline El Salvador's lack of independent legal basis for García's detention and emphasize the contractual dynamics between both governments.
The ball is in your court... We have a deal with the U.S. government. They send people. We host them.
My conversation with Vice President Ulloa demonstrates that the Government of El Salvador has no independent legal basis for imprisoning Mr. Abrego Garcia.
