Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen says he has met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who immigration officials say was deported by error, in El Salvador on Thursday.
The senator shared a photo with Abrego Garcia at what appears to be a restaurant.
“I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar,” Sen. Van Hollen said. “Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.”
Why did he leave without him?
I’m absolutely shocked that he’s still alive. Amazing.
Never been so happy to be so wrong. I’m glad he’s alive and functional, more Democrats need to follow up on the realities on the ground level.
Van Hollen has joined the ranks of Dems worth a shit, and Garcia needs to be brought home pronto
The hell, they can take him out of the concentration camp for a restaurant interview but can’t just, yah know, let him out?
Neither country can even articulate anything he’s charged with. They just say he’s MS-13 and a terrorist, but the US officer that testified years ago that he was MS-13 has been barred from further court testimony because he’s unreliable.
If anything Kilmar should be free in El Salvador, just because Trump wants him in prison doesn’t mean he should be. One man isn’t running the world. Right?
He actually came to the US on asylum from M-13, who were threatening him and his family. El Salvador is the one country on Earth he can’t legally be sent to.
Kidnap him back. Then go for another. No one belongs in that shit hole.
So Trump starts a trade war with the whole damn world, demands the resources of a country ravaged by war, threatens to annex the territory of our allies and an entire ally, but when he “accidentally” deports someone who’s supposed to be here to a foreign prison in fucking El Salvatore he’s suddenly powerless to bring this one guy back?
Yup. I believe you have it.
Happy to see that guy is still breathing.
For now. But once the media attention fades, who knows?
Multiple sources across the internet are posting this google earth satellite image of this Prison in El Salvador. 60 minutes reported that 75% of the 200 people Trump sent to this prison have no criminal record. Monday trump told the El Salvadorian president to build more prisons because he’s sending homegrown Americans next
Thank god he’s alive
It’s probably the first time in weeks that he was given water that didn’t taste kinda nasty.
Are visits even allowed at the prison where he’s being held? If so, I guarantee that they don’t take place in a room as nice as this.
Do you think those are even his own clothes, or did somebody go out and buy some at the last minute? Did they force him to wear a hat in order to cover his prison haircut? I imagine he was wearing a prison jumpsuit not long before this photo was taken, and was ordered back into it as soon as the meeting was over.
They really went out of their way to stage something nice looking. It’s almost as if they don’t want the general public to dwell on what a horrific situation he’s in. Then you might start to think about the incompetence, injustice, and cruelty that’s keeping him there - and the system responsible.
“Subject has no criminal history.”. Fuckers.
So someone with a 1/8 oz weed conviction deserves this treatment because they have a “criminal history”?
How the hell did you make that enormous leap from saying this guy had no criminal record?
This is reactionary. They go to meet with the person who was clearly wrongly imprisoned, but where are the calls for impeachment and removal from the Presidency? Oh wait… there are none. Cowards.
The House should be filing impeachment charges every week and adding to the list of charges each time. There’s plenty to add every damn week.
Not world news worthy article
I know that hating America is cooler than ever, but if you genuinely can’t see how a global superpower heading down a shockingly similar trajectory to nazi germany is absolutely a world news story, you’re being willfully ignorant
