Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen says he has met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who immigration officials say was deported by error, in El Salvador on Thursday.

The senator shared a photo with Abrego Garcia at what appears to be a restaurant.

“I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar,” Sen. Van Hollen said. “Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.”

    Lots of negative things to say about dems but Van Hollen did a good and difficult thing here. If more dems are willing to behave like him, we can get through this.

      Sure, but Garcia is still stuck in the death camp. What happened here was basicly just a photo op. Nothing was won here. Hollen just seems more sympathetic now without having accomplished anything. Garcia is no closer to surviving this than before.
