Photos of Kilmar Abrego Garcia sipping margaritas in El Salvador with US Senator Chris Van Hollen have gone viral, days after his controversial deportation from Maryland. President Bukele confirmed Kilmar is healthy but said he wonât be released. Van Hollen, who flew to El Salvador to check on Kilmarâs well-being, says heâs working to restore his due process rights. While Trumpâs team called the deportation a mistake, they insist on criminal ties. Tensions mount as the U.S., El Salvador, and international observers monitor the fallout from the case.

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 Trumpâs administration of paying to keep Abrego imprisoned. President Bukele remains firm, defying diplomatic pressure. Abregoâs case raises serious concerns over the misuse of the Alien Enemies Act and wrongful deportations under false MS-13 allegations. Lawyers claim no trial, no charges, and no legal access.
