President Donald Trump reacted to the questionable pictures of Democratic Sen Chris Van Hollen with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland person whom the Trump presidency calls a crew chief and refuses to bring back’ house’. the picture sparked off a controversy as El Salvador leader Nayib Bukele commented that the Dem lawmaker was sipping cocktails with the MS-13 part. Trump said Hollen ‘ looked like a stupid ‘ sitting in El Salvador ‘ begging for focus’ from the Fake News Media.
” Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland looked like a foolish yesterday standing in El Salvador begging for attention from the Fake News Media, or people. GRANDSTANDER!!”! Trump posted on Truth Social.
” I said my primary aim of this journey was to join with Kilmar. Now I had that possibility”, Van Hollen said in a blog on X. ” I have called his wife, Jennifer, to go along his message of love”.
The meeting took place time after Van Hollen claimed that he was denied entrance into the high-security jail while he wanted to check on Garcia’s well-being. The Democratic lawmaker said at a news conference in San Salvador that his vehicle was stopped by men at a station about two kilometers from the Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, yet as they let other vehicles come on.
Maryland man or MS-13 gang member?
Garcia has been living in Maryland illegally but there was a court order stopping his deportation as he fled El Salvador to save his life from a gang war. Trump administration admitted in the court that Garcia was wrongly deported following which the judge ruled to bring him back. But that could never take place as US administration said it depended on the Salvador administration tpo release someone from jail. Bukele earlier said he could not just release a gang member and sneak him into the US.
Garcia’s wife Jennifer Vasquez Sura Friday said it was overwhelming to see her husband on television screen with the senaor. ” The most important thing for me, my children, his mom, his brother, his sibling, was to see him alive, and we saw him alive”, she said.
