Summary

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) traveled to El Salvador to seek the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident wrongfully deported in March.

Abrego Garcia, married to a U.S. citizen with three children, was legally allowed to stay under a 2019 court order.

The Trump administration admitted his deportation was an “administrative error” but refused his return. The Supreme Court ruled against the administration 9-0.

In response, the White House launched a smear campaign against Van Hollen, framing Garcia as a gang member despite no charges or convictions.

    The White House also brought Morin’s mother to Leavitt’s press conference today, while launching into a tirade against Abrego Garcia

    Wow, that mother must be a real proud Mamma Hen, using her daughters death to politically justify abducting a human without convictions who was in Maryland legally. What a fucking disgrace.
