A Democrat senator has been blasted for traveling to El Salvador to free a deported illegal migrant routinely being referred to as a ‘Maryland man’.
Senator Chris Van Hollen flew to El Salvador in an attempt to ‘rescue’ Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who was deported by the Trump administration earlier this week.
Garcia entered the US illegally in 2011. A judge blocked his return to El Salvador in 2019, citing the fact that gangsters were after him, but said he could be deported elsewhere.
In court filings this week, the Trump administration said he was deported to El Salvador in error. The Supreme Court has since ordered his return to the US.
However, Trump officials insist Garcia is not an innocent American, as claimed. They say he’s an MS-13 gangster who deserves to be sent back to El Salvador.
Democrats, furious about his deportation, are up in arms.
Van Hollen is among them. Determined to save Garcia, he flew to El Salvador in an effort to get him out of jail and back in America.
But when he showed up asking for a meeting, he was denied.
He is now being mocked by Republicans and Conservative Americans, including the mother of a woman who was murdered by an illegal migrant.
‘Senator Van Hollen has done more to bring a MS-13 gang member, human trafficker and illegal alien back to Maryland than he has to help keep his American constituents safe or advocate for the victims of these vicious gangs like MS-13.
