Sen. Chris Van Hollen Has Face-To-Face Meeting With Abrego Garcia

After days in El Salvador, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) says he finally got a face-to-face meeting with Kilmar Abrego Garcia (above), who was wrongfully deported last month. “I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar,” Van Hollen shared on his social media accounts. “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.” From the New York Times:

Mr. Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat and a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, shared a photo of the two men speaking on Thursday evening, hours after the senator had been denied entry to the prison where Mr. Abrego Garcia was being held.

The unexpected meeting took place at a hotel in San Salvador, according to photos shared by the senator’s office late Thursday.

El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, said on social media that Mr. Abrego Garcia would remain in his country’s custody.
