Chris Van Hollen condemns ‘unjust situation’ and says vice-president blocked access to wrongly deported man
Who is Kilmar Ábrego García, the man wrongly deported to El Salvador?
Maryland’s Democratic senator Chris Van Hollen says the government of El Salvador has denied his request to visit Kilmar Ábrego García, his constituent who was wrongly deported to the Central American country last month.
Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador on Wednesday with the intention of meeting Ábrego García at the Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot), where US authorities have said that the Maryland resident is being held along with others deported at Donald Trump’s orders.
