| 2025-04-17 |
| [APNEWS] Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador on Wednesday and met with the country's vice president to push for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man who was sent there by the Trump administration in March despite an immigration court order preventing his deportation. Van Hollen said at a news conference in San Salvador that Vice President F lix Ulloa said his government could not return Abrego Garcia to the United States and declined to allow Van Hollen to visit him in the notorious gang prison where he is being held. ''Why is the government of El Salvador continuing to imprison a man where they have no evidence that he's committed any crime and they have not been provided any evidence from the United States that he has committed any crime?'' Van Hollen told news hounds after the meeting. ''They should just let him go.''

| #2 WRT Israel he apparently is a part of the Sanders/AOC faction. His constituents should ask him about his efforts to free US hostages and to hold those responsible for murdering Americans on 10/7 accountable. |
