Summary

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) traveled to El Salvador to seek the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident wrongfully deported in March.

Abrego Garcia, married to a U.S. citizen with three children, was legally allowed to stay under a 2019 court order.

The Trump administration admitted his deportation was an “administrative error” but refused his return. The Supreme Court ruled against the administration 9-0.

In response, the White House launched a smear campaign against Van Hollen, framing Garcia as a gang member despite no charges or convictions.

    I hope you’re not wrong, but political opposition was disappeared very quickly in Nazi Germany. It really didn’t take long: Hitler was appointed chancellor on January 30th, 1933 and the first “dissidents” were disappeared the day after the Reichtagsbrand, so February 28th, 1933.
