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.

    That is what I’ve been thinking. Guy has been dead from almost day one, and in fact that is likely the point of these prison camps.

    They want to be able to disappear people, and it’s a lot more effort and money to keep them alive. El Salvador is just an off site extermination facility, and they are playing “Well, we can’t bring him back” cause they won’t admit what they have done.
