Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., is drawing significant pushback for his visit to El Salvador seeking to free Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien deported from the U.S. who stands accused of being a gang member in MS-13.
Abrego Garcia, who entered the U.S. illegally, was deported in March to his home country of El Salvador, where he has since been imprisoned.
Maryland journalist Matthew Foldi pointed out on X that Van Hollen’s X account has not posted about Rachel Morin, a Maryland mother of five who was slain in August 2023 by another Salvadoran illegal immigrant. But Van Hollen has posted about other Americans who have died under controversial circumstances, as demonstrated by his tweet on what was then Twitter in 2019 about Freddie Gray, who died in police custody in Baltimore, and about the 2012 death of Trayvon Martin in Florida.
