WASHINGTON — Sen. Chris Van Hollen flew to El Salvador on Wednesday to push for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia after the mistakenly deported man was not returned by midweek, one of the senator's conditions for embarking on the trip.

Van Hollen said in a video post from a U.S. airport that he was about to board a flight to the country's capital, adding that his goal was show the Trump administration and El Salvador's government "that we are going to keep fighting to bring Abrego Garcia home until he returns to his family."

An exchange: Van Hollen for Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I think we win in that scenario.

Just another example of Democrats not representing citizens
of their district or State. I have noticed since O’Bummer, Democrats go whole hog representing citizens of OTHER countries......

Those sob story sign being held up by “Honkies For Guilty Consciences” members crack me up. Especially the ones where the gangbanger is smooching somebody’s baby like he’s Joe Pedo.

Man, these people love advocating for non-Americans. Imagine if they cared this much about their law-abiding American citizen constituents?

He just wants an Eastern vacation in Central America courtesy of the the US taxpayer.

Who exactly is going to receive him there from the El Salvadoran government? Is just going to bang on the prison door? If so, I’d say let him in, but not back out.

“the only reason they weren’t supposed to send him back to El Salvador is that the rival gangs there might want to kill him.”

That’s the part that the Mainstream press never brings up. If he isn’t MS-13, why does he in danger from rival gangs? It makes it hard to portray him as an innocent family man.

Yes. The president of El Salvador should grant his wish only under one condition — he has to take the gang member into his home and must remain with the Senator’s wife.

I read somewhere that it took a year to get into that place to see someone.

I saw some dope on MSDNC or wherever say, “But he’s married to an American! He has every right to live here!”

Uh... No.

Ignorance reigns supreme on our “news” networks.

“… that the rival gangs there might want to kill him.”

Can’t Pres. Trump get the judge who issued that order to rescind it now that El Salvador has become peaceful since they rounded up all the gang members?

That would make this lib judge’s decision moot.

How much money did he bring to buy the freedom for the man? If he returns, how long will it be before he does some crime? One week? Two? How about a murder or rape? One month? Two?
Maybe he’s a changed man? Maybe? But can we risk that?
