El Salvador Blocks US Senator’s Visit To Wrongfully Deported Man Amid MS-13 Allegations | WATCH

U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen was denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a wrongfully deported Salvadoran man held in a notorious prison in El Salvador. Despite a Supreme Court ruling and official acknowledgment of error, El Salvador refuses to release him. The senator accused Trump’s administration of paying to keep Abrego imprisoned. President Bukele remains firm, defying diplomatic pressure. Abrego’s case raises serious concerns over the misuse of the Alien Enemies Act and wrongful deportations under false MS-13 allegations.
