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.

    ICE already admitted the man was deported in error. So why are you making up stuff? These facts are easy to check, I can only assume you’re either a troll or a foreign agitator.

      The Trump administration already admitted this was an administrative error. I said that as well. Perhaps you should re-read what I wrote.

        There is no deportation order for him you buffoon otherwise ICE wouldn’t have confirmed he was deported in error. Do you think the admin error was thinking there was an error? How do you make those leaps in logic?

          First, someone cannot be granted withholding of removal without having an order of removal. The immigration judge must first determine that the person is removable, and then the person can apply for withholding.

          Second, the withholding of removal is limited to El Salvador, which means he can be deported to other countries.

          As such, the error is the destination only
