Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen, and possible 2028 Presidential contender, went above and beyond the standard sharply worded social media posts or firmly worded official statements and actually GOT ON A PLANE and went straight down to El Salvador to see wrongly deported (ie, kidnapped) Maryland father, Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
A reminder, the Trump administration actually admitted in court that Garcia should not have been sent to El Salvador and was ordered to facilitate his return by the Supreme Court. This far, they have blatantly ignored this ruling…and have actually raised the temperature by claiming, without evidence, that Garcia is a MS-13 member.
Van Hollen made the rounds on the Sunday news shows:
- Fox News Sunday — Van Hollen
- NBC’s Meet the Press — Van Hollen
- CNN’s State of the Union — Van Hollen
- CBS’ Face the Nation — Van Hollen
- ABC’s This Week — Van Hollen
He said pretty much the same thing in all interviews and everything he said was fact-based, unbiased and stressed the importance of DUE PROCESS.
Here is a bit of what he said during some critical exchanges with Shannon Bream, host of FOX News Sunday:
BREAM: One law enforcement source I talked to said, if you don’t want to be associated with the gang, you’re not gonna wear the indicative clothing, you’re not gonna hang out with them. This is the report of the police department from 2019.
