They should deport him as an undesirable foreigner.

Surprised that El Salvador let this gasbag into the country. They should just kick him out.

I am amazed he was allowed out of the airport and not put on the next flight back.

If he does somehow succeed in getting the illegal back to the US, now long before he commits a serious or even deadly crime? I bet it wouldn’t be long. If that happens, Trump should criminally charge Van Hollen and when convicted, sentence to the maximum penalty.

Did these idiots not listen to this before they wasted a taxpaid trip?

 

"How can I return him to the United States? Like if I smuggle him into the United States?" Bukele said, sitting beside Trump in the Oval Office, when he was asked whether he’d return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. "Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous."

I remember when he was only member of congress fighting for release of J 6 “Maryland Men” who were denied due process.

If he stirs up enough trouble there, he might find himself in CECOT under circumstances he wasnt intending.

It would be nice if El Salvador found some criminal behavior here and tossed the rat in the same cell with his criminal buddy. Justice served and helps GOP margin in the senate. Trump team can work feverishly to “facilitate” his return.

Does Bukele have a price in mind? Van Hollen would surely pay to damage the Trump Administration.
Reposting this:

Francey Hakes explained it best
https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/francey-hakes-newsmax-abrego-garcia/2025/04/15/id/1207054/

When he was arrested or picked up in 2019, he had an immigration hearing. Lots of people are yelling online and on television that he hasn’t received any due process. And that is a complete lie, because he did get the due process to which illegal aliens are entitled,” Hakes said. “And at that hearing, the judge found that the evidence presented by DHS was credible, that he was a member of MS-13, which also made him deportable.

“Now, after that, he got an appeal. So that’s the second bit of due process that he got. He got appellate level … judge panel to look at his case and to agree with the initial federal judge who found that he was deportable,” Hakes added, setting up Abrego Garcia’s biggest problem.

“Now, when he went to court, the judge, however, had some sympathy for his claim that if he were sent back to El Salvador, he might face violence from a rival gang. Now, what I’ve read, Greta, suggests that what that means is, if he was worried about violence from a rival gang in El Salvador, that he’s effectively admitting he’s part of a gang himself,” Hakes said.

“And now that President Trump has designated MS-13 a foreign terrorist organization, he’s no longer entitled to that withholding of the deportation that a judge in some sympathy gave him in 2019 because he was no longer entitled to claim asylum,” she added.

This Congressional bozo won’t be allowed within 5 miles of CECOT.

Q: Can you visit prisoners in the CECOT prison?

A: Visiting prisoners at El Salvador’s CECOT prison is not allowed. The facility, designed as a maximum-security mega-prison for alleged gang members and other high-risk inmates, strictly prohibits any form of visitation, including family, friends, and even legal counsel in person. Inmates are denied communication with relatives and lawyers, and only appear before courts via online hearings, often in large groups. The prison does not permit recreational or educational activities, and prisoners are confined to their cells nearly all day, with only brief, highly controlled periods outside.

I hope El Salvador leadership does not hurt themselves from laughing so hard at this clown.

He is in their country trying to order them around.

This is classic Ugly American syndrome—should be fun to watch!
