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.

    At the current rate, that’ll happen within months; definitely before the end of the year.

      I’m gonna revisit this comment before New Years Eve. Let’s hope there’s something a bit more positive to discuss by then. But I’m not hopeful…

        Maybe heart disease will have finally come through for us and rid the world of Donald Trump.
