Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been charged in the United States with transporting undocumented immigrants into the country, nearly three months after the Trump administration mistakenly deported him to his native El Salvador.
The Trump administration has so far denied a unanimous U.S Supreme Court order to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s return, and the president has called Chris Van Hollen a “fake” and a “grandstander” for confronting his administration’s sweeping deportation efforts with a congressional fact-finding mission.
Sen. Van Hollen is the first person Kilmar Abrego Garcia has spoken to see being unlawfully deported and imprisoned in El Salvador. He told the senator he wants to talk to his wife.
