WATCH: The Salvadoran government rebuffed Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s (D-Md.) request to meet or speak with a wrongfully deported Maryland man, the senator said, accusing the Trump administration and others of lying about Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s gang ties. https://t.co/R1RLrmN1hN
Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen just met with El Salvador’s Vice President Félix Ulloa. Van Hollen asked Ulloa why they are holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia in prison if he hasn’t committed a crime, the US Supreme Court found he was illegally taken from the United States, and the government of El Salvador has no evidence that he’s a part of MS-13, why are they still holding him in prison.
El Salvador’s VP told Van Hollen they are still imprisoning Abrego Garcia because the Trump Administration is paying them to do so.
