Sen. Chris Van Hollen recently met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration in March. Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador to advocate for Abrego Garcia’s release following a Supreme Court ruling ordering his return to the U.S. Van Hollen was denied entry to the prison where Abrego Garcia is being held and was unable to speak with him or arrange a phone call with his wife. Maryland officials have demanded proof of Abrego Garcia’s well-being as his family has not heard from him since his transfer. Abrego Garcia migrated to the U.S. in 2011 and was protected by a 2019 court order preventing his deportation to El Salvador. The Salvadoran president has refused calls to return Abrego Garcia to the U.S. Van Hollen has been working with human rights groups, embassy staff, and Salvadoran officials to advocate for Abrego Garcia’s release and ensure his well-being. More updates are expected as the situation continues to develop.
