Senator Chris Van Hollen is traveling to El Salvador to advocate for Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident who was mistakenly deported and remains imprisoned despite a court order for his return. U.S. and Salvadoran authorities have not complied with the Supreme Court's directive for his release. Van Hollen aims to visit Abrego Garcia in prison and engage Salvadoran officials about his return, emphasizing U.S. responsibility to secure his safe reintegration. The trip follows a lack of response from Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele regarding the situation.
Mr. Van Hollen emphasized the importance of his mission, stating, 'This trip is to let both the Trump administration and El Salvador know we will keep fighting to bring Abrego Garcia home.'
The senator expressed his concerns about the situation, saying, 'It should be a priority of the U.S. government to secure his safe release, following the Supreme Court's directive for his return.'
