Alright, so check it out — Senator Chris Van Hollen from Maryland is down in El Salvador on a mission. He’s trying to figure out why the Trump administration deported this guy from Maryland by mistake. Crazy, right? Before he hopped on that plane, he made a video saying he’s been planning this trip for a hot minute. He’s hoping to meet up with Kilmar Abrego Garcia in person, see how he’s holding up. Apparently, Abrego Garcia ran from some political mess in El Salvador and got sent back to CECOT prison in a mix-up.
Van Hollen’s all about making sure Abrego Garcia gets back home safe and sound. He’s not messing around. He even tried to chat with El Salvador’s President, but no dice. He did manage to talk to the vice president, though. And get this — they’re keeping Abrego Garcia at CECOT because, wait for it, the Trump administration is paying them to. Like, what in the world?
The senator is out here, trying to make things right, you know? He’s throwing shade at Trump and his crew, saying this isn’t about MS-13 or any of that noise. He’s been fighting those guys longer than Trump’s been in the game. Van Hollen’s all about justice, making sure the right people face the music. He’s all about giving Abrego Garcia his day in court, no ifs, ands, or buts.
Later on, Van Hollen’s still grinding, meeting with all kinds of folks in El Salvador, trying to make moves. He even called out the government there to show some proof about Abrego Garcia and MS-13. Spoiler alert — they had nothing. Nada. Zilch. This whole circus isn’t about gangs, it’s about a dude who got caught up in a crazy mix-up.
Now, of course, the White House had to chime in, throwing shade back at Van Hollen. But he’s not backing down. He’s standing his ground, fighting for what he believes in. Meanwhile, the Attorney General is out here talking smack, saying Abrego Garcia isn’t coming back. But, like, wait a minute — the Supreme Court already said his deportation was a mistake. So, what’s the deal?
Van Hollen’s not giving up, though. He’s out here, still pushing to get Abrego Garcia back home where he belongs. It’s a wild ride, but he’s not backing down. You gotta hand it to the guy — he’s not gonna stop until he gets some answers.
ABC News’ Alexander Mallin and Meghan Mistry are on top of this whole situation, bringing you the latest scoop. It’s a rollercoaster, folks, but Van Hollen’s not gonna let up. Stay tuned for more updates because this story is far from over.
