Democrat Senator Denied Access By El Salvador Government To Visit MS-13 Gang Member

Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen arrived in El Salvador today but was denied by the government the opportunity to meet with the MS-13 gangbanger.

They said Sen. Van Hollen would need to go through the embassy, which is under the Trump administration.

The Hill:

The Salvadoran government on Wednesday rebuffed Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s (D-Md.) request to meet or speak with a mistakenly deported Maryland man, the senator said, accusing the Trump administration and others of lying about Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s gang ties.

Van Hollen said Salvadoran Vice President Félix Ulloa told him the government had no information connecting Abrego Garcia to MS-13 but could not accommodate a visit to the notorious CECOT prison, known by its acronym in Spanish.

“If the government of El Salvador has no evidence that he was part of MS-13, why is El Salvador continuing to hold him in CECOT,” Van Hollen asked.

“And his answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT.”

Ulloa told Van Hollen he would need more time to arrange a visit to CECOT and said even a phone call with the senator or with his family back in Maryland couldn’t be arranged swiftly, saying the request would need to come from the embassy, Van Hollen said.

He never even spoke to Rachel Morin’s family who was brutally raped and murdered in his state by an illegal alien.

This is all just a huge publicity stunt. Senator Chris Van Hollen knew damn well before he left that he would not get to see Abrego Garcia, let alone bring him back!
