Abrego Garcia's Senator Vows to Go to El Salvador If He Isn't Released
Briefly

Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen is taking action regarding the detention of Kilmar Abrego García, a Maryland father, following his illegal deportation by the Trump administration. Van Hollen has threatened to visit El Salvador to negotiate García's release, as the current administration continues to ignore court orders mandating his return. Despite claims from El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, that he cannot facilitate García's return, critics argue otherwise. The situation highlights the intersection of immigration policy, political action, and individual rights amid a backdrop of administrative oversight and error.
Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia never should have been abducted and illegally deported, and the courts have made clear: the Administration must bring him home, now.
If the father of three, Van Hollen's constituent, is not returned to the U.S. by midweek, the senator plans to travel to El Salvador this week to check on his condition.
However, since the Trump Administration appears to be ignoring these court mandates, we need to take additional action.
Bukele claimed that he is powerless to return Abrego García, which immigration experts criticized as an absurd lie.
