Maryland’s senator Chris Van Hollen says that Kilmar Abrego García, who was mistakenly deported, told him that he was transferred from the famous saving prison known as Cecot to a detention center with better conditions. Van Hollen says that the Salvadoran man told him in a meeting on Thursday that he had shared a cell with 25 prisoners and feared many of them. The senator who visited El Salvador told reporters that the case is more than only Abrego García.
“It’s about protecting the constitutional rights of all those residing in the United States,” said Van Hollen. Abrego García’s wife, Jennifer, cleaned her tears while Van Hollen talked about the comments of the man about the desire to speak with her wife.
Van Hollen flew home from El Salvador on Friday, April 18, after meeting with Abrego García. It is not clear what will happen later in the case. More Democrats have said that they will fly to El Salvador to boost their release, but partisan pressure has not given any results.
President Donald Trump and the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, have fallen to keep Abrego García out of the United States, even when Trump’s republican administration officials have called their deportation as an error and that the supreme United States has called has called Has called the Court.
Bukele published images of the Hollen meeting with Abrego García on Thursday and said that the prisoner in the notorious terrorism confinement center of the country, or Cecot, “receives the honor of staying under the custody of El Salvador.” The White House Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said “will never live again in the United States of America.”
The fight over Abrego García is the last point of partisan inflammation, since the Democrats have fought to make their way and push the entrance door for the first months of Trump’s second time in office.
Democrats say that the fight is not just the state of immigration of a man, but about Trump’s challenge to the courts that has repeatedly intervened in the case. A Federal Court of Appeals said Thorsday in an abrasing order that the statement of the Trump administration that can do anything to free Abrego García from prison in El Salvador and return it to the United States “should be shocking.”
Republicans do not move
But Republicans seem to have become more determined to keep Abrego García out of the country. They have abruptly criticized Hollen’s trip and said that Abrego García has links with the MS-13 gang. His lawyers say that the Government has not provided evidence of gang participation and that it has never addressed any crimes relationship with such activity.
The Democrats “have again and again the policy on the security of the Americans,” said Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas in a statement on Friday. “It is completely divorced from reality.”
Van Hollen said he won the arrest of the liberation of the Salvadoran citizen who lived in Maryland. “It’s about taking home to a man who admit that he should never have been kidnapped,” Van Hollen published in X.
The Democratic senator published a photo of his meeting with Abrego García in Thorsday Evening, but did not provide an update on his state. He said he had called Abrego García’s wife, Jennifer Vásquez Sura, “transmit a message of love” and would provide a complete update on his return. It is not clear how the meeting was organized, where with them or what will happen to Abrego García. Vásquez Sura said in a statement published by a defense group that “we still have so many questions, hopes and fears.”
After days of denying that he knew a lot about Abrego García, Trump said Friday that he knew that Abrego Garcia was “incredibly bad” and called him an “illegal foreigner” and a “foreign terrorist.”
The president also responded on Friday with a publication on the social networks he said of Hollen “seemed like a fool yesterday in El Salvador committed to his attention.”
