Sen. Chris Van Hollen went to El Salvador to make progress in securing the discharge of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and to verify on his Maryland constituent’s well being and situation after he was illegally deported and despatched to an El Salvadorian jail.
What Van Hollen reported again to the American folks after assembly El Salvador’s vice chairman was deeply disturbing.
Video of Sen. Van Hollen (D-MD):
Van Hollen stated to the press:
I wish to emphasize that President Trump and our Lawyer Basic, Pam Bondi and the Vice President of the USA are mendacity once they say that Abrego Garcia has been charged with a criminal offense or as a part of MS 13, that could be a lie.
And this can be a misinform cowl up what they did. So what did they do?
So that they illegally kidnapped Mr. Abrego Garcia from Maryland and despatched him to Sect, which is a infamous jail right here in El Salvador.
Actually, it is a jail the place they are saying they ship the worst of the worst, proper? That is the place they ship the terrorists.
Now, the courts of the USA have stated there isn’t any proof to assist the cost that he’s a part of MS 13. So I requested the vice chairman. Whether or not or not El Salvador has any proof that he is a part of MS 13 or has dedicated a criminal offense,so I requested the vice chairman. If Abrego Garcia has not dedicated a criminal offense and the US courts have discovered that he was illegally taken to the USA, and the federal government of El Salvador has no proof that he was a part of MS-13. Why is El Salvador persevering with to carry him in Cecot?
And his reply was that the Trump administration, uh, is paying. El Salvador, the federal government of El Salvador to maintain him Cecot.
And I identified that neither the federal government of El Salvador nor the Trump administration has offered proof to assist the declare that he is dedicated any sort of prison acts.
The Trump administration is illegally abducting and deporting authorized residents, they usually aren’t being despatched again dwelling as a result of the administration doesn’t need the general public to listen to about their unlawful actions and what the situations are like within the jail in El Salvador.
Sen. Van Hollen promised that this story isn’t going away. Many different Senators and members of Congress are planning to return to El Salvador.
What the Trump administration is doing is prison, and Republicans in Congress want to face up and be part of the combat to cease this administration.
