Senator says trip to El Salvador was to support Kilmar Ábrego García’s due process

Chris Van Hollen says if we deny constitutional rights of this one man, it threatens constitutional rights of everyone'

Senator Chris Van Hollen, who travelled to El Salvador last week to meet Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man at the center of a wrongful deportation dispute, said on Sunday that his trip was to support Abrego Garcia's right to due process because if that was denied then everyone's constitutional rights were threatened in the US.

The White House has claimed Abrego Garcia was a member of the MS-13 gang though he has not been charged with any gang related crimes and the supreme court has ordered his return to the US be facilitated.
