A senator from Maryland tried to visit a deported person
US Senator Chris Van Hollen, who’s on a trip to El Salvador, said that he plans to ask the embassy to ask for the return of 29-year-old Abrego Garcia. Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen, was deported last month despite being granted protections by a judge years earlier over concerns for his safety if he were to return there.
A lawmaker tried to visit a man who was deported
US Senator Chris Van Hollen, who has travelled to El Salvador to visit his cousin Abrego Garcia who was deported to US despite being in the country legally, said El Salvador’s government declined his requests for both. The Trump administration designated the Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO), which it claimed Abrego was a member of, as a crime gang.
