Maryland Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen has taken a lead role among Democrats opposing the Trump administration’s high-profile mistaken deportation of a migrant to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador, announcing on Tuesday he was flying to the country with the intent to pay the man a visit.
Van Hollen said in a video posted on social media that the goal of his trip is to put a spotlight on the Trump administration’s actions, which critics contend amounts to ignoring an order from the Supreme Court to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.
“We are going to keep fighting to bring Abrego Garcia home until he returns to his family,” Van Hollen said.
