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.”

    He’s confirmed alive

    Unless Van Hollen brought back fingerprints or a DNA sample, or the family got to talk to the guy on the phone and confirm it was him, I have to keep open the possibility that Bukele put in an imposter.

      I mean you can believe whatever you want but that’s verging into conspiracy theory stuff if you ask me.
