Sen. Chris Van Hollen said Monday morning that he would take matters into his own hands later this week.
Van Hollen, a Democrat representing Maryland, said in a statement that he had requested a meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, who is visiting the White House on Monday, to discuss Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release from an El Salvador mega-prison.
And if Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old Prince George’s County father, isn’t back by midweek, Van Hollen said he plans to travel to El Salvador “to check on his condition and discuss his release.”
They get their power from conservative news coverage. If a US senator got locked up in El Salvador and Fox didn’t cover it, who is to say he was missing at all? Even if they did cover it they’d point that he was trying to bring back an alleged criminal. And without any oversight of Fox News they’d get away with it. Shameless.

I don’t think it will amount to much, but it’s orders of magnitude more than anyone else is doing about it.
Well we can’t even be sure the guy is still alive at this point. Maybe the senator can at least find out more about that.
Sadly I don’t think he will learn much. Bukele knows who is buttering his bread and it ain’t this senator.
Whatever Garcia’s fate, I very much doubt they’d let this senator through border control.
$10 says they throw him in CECOT while he’s there
Gotta figure he’s considered that possibility. Imprisonment of an elected federal official would be distinctly tougher for Trump to just shrug off.

They need to bring cameras and show us the conditions.
Politics is all about gestures. I applaud everyone who stands up to Trump.
Good luck to him. Godspeed
