Chris Van Hollen Meets With Abrego Garcia in El Salvador

Senator Chris Van Hollen met with Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia in San Salvador, following an initial denial of entry to the prison where Abrego Garcia was held. The meeting occurred at a hotel and was documented by photos shared by both Van Hollen's office and El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele. These images were the first public sightings of Abrego Garcia since his wrongful deportation in March, which the Trump administration has acknowledged as an error. The Supreme Court has ordered the government to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return, but a federal judge has criticized the government for lack of progress in complying with this order.
