Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., was denied a visit with a Salvadoran migrant and accused MS-13 member who was deported to El Salvador, after flying to the country on Wednesday morning.
Van Hollen intended to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia, 29, who was deported to the El Salvadoran mega prison "Terrorism Confinement Center" (CECOT) for being an alleged MS-13 gang member, though his attorneys maintain he does not have any gang ties.
Van Hollen spoke to reporters from El Salvador on Wednesday afternoon, when he vowed to continue pressing for access to Abrego Garcia.
He met with Vice President Félix Augusto Antonio Ulloa Garay because President Nayib Armando Bukele Ortez was out of the country, though Van Hollen said he was grateful to speak about the case of Abrego Garcia.
When Van Hollen asked if he could come back next week to see Abrego Garcia, Ulloa told him he could not promise that, either. Ulloa also told the U.S. senator that he could not even arrange for him, or Abrego Garcia’s family, to speak with the inmate over the phone.

C’mon man! He knew before he got on the plane that the would be no way he was going to see anyone other than a low level government official t6elling him “Adios Cabron!”. this whole thing was about attention whoring and trying to gin up animosity against Trump and sympathy for a wife beating, gangbanging, illegal alien who was sent home.
The Salvadoran president recently replied to Caitlyn Collins at the White House, “I suppose you are not suggesting that I smuggle a terrorist into the United States.”
Van Hollen seems to be eliciting an "asked and answered" from the Salvadorans.
They told him conjugal visits were on Saturday. Come back Sabado.
Headline should read: Democrat Idiot Wastes Both Time and Money!
Congratulations to FNC. This is the first article I’ve read about the Merrylander Father of the Year that didn’t try to identify him as a “Maryland Man” deported IN ERROR by the ICE MEANIES. Now he’s the Maryland Wife Beater of the Year.
Agreed!!
with everything happening in politics with this guy I am convinced they deported a high-level leadership members of MS 13 gang.
There is too much concerted effort in this guy’s behalf. I believe that means money, threat and black mail is moving the politicians to act in his behest. There are too many other MS gang members that this type of fuss is not being made of that are lying through their teeth about their situation for being in the country that no substantial effort is being made to protect.
Worse, the same Maryland senator never once tweeted about Rachel Morin, a Maryland mom of 5 who was raped and murdered by an MS-13 gang member who was in America illegally.
Should be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.
Has Judge Chitcan or Sourass issued an injunction to El Salvador yet?
Dem’s continue to double down on the same failed policies that lost them the election.
and everybody keeps giving them hits...
That's only for SDA folks.
All others is Sunday.
We need a meme of the Senator at the Wizard of Oz’s door being denied entry.
Look at CECOT online, the ‘cell’ is like Home Depot with no products.
He’ll hold his breath ‘til he turns...uh...blue?
