Sen. Chris Van Hollen demanded Wednesday that Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele open the doors of a notorious Central American prison and free a Maryland father who was wrongly deported by the Trump administration.
“I’m not asking him to smuggle Mr. (Kilmar) Abrego Garcia into the United States,” the Maryland senator said, standing at the side of a busy road not far from the U.S. Embassy in El Salvador. “I’m simply asking him to open the door of CECOT and let this innocent man walk out.”
Van Hollen, who traveled to El Salvador to discuss Abrego Garcia's case with Salvadoran officials, described the union sheet metal worker and father of three as “a man who was illegally abducted from the United States and charged with no crime.”
