Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen says he has met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who immigration officials say was deported by error, in El Salvador on Thursday.
The senator shared a photo with Abrego Garcia at what appears to be a restaurant.
“I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar,” Sen. Van Hollen said. “Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.”
Yep… It also puts pressure on Bukele - I mean, remember his comments to the media
“I can’t smuggle someone into the US, and I’m not willing to let them walk around my country, so I guess there’s nothing to be done”
The man didn’t say he wouldn’t return them, he made it very clear the ball is in the US’s court and he hasn’t been asked to give him back. He said it was impossible to see the victim, and yet when a US senator still showed up they arranged all this
America is the customer buying a service here…a customer known for having a huge crew of assassins with lots of experience overthrowing South American countries
Which is weird too, like he’s not charged with a crime so what makes him different from a random El Salvadoran citizen?
Bukele has been locking up random El Salvadorian citizens without charges…
Yeah, they chose El Salvador because they’ve literally abolished due process. It’s like Cambodia again - someone accuses you and you’re just instantly taken away. You MIGHT get to see a judge after you’re imprisoned for a month or two, likely after you’ve been beaten half to death so you’ll confess to anything just to make the pain stop. It’s a dressed up version of Duterte’s Philippines - we’ll kidnap you and let you die, rather than just some death squad rolling up to your door (because that doesn’t play well to the media and the other can be dressed up as “law and order”).
Hmm, reminds me of another dickhead 🤔
