Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., slammed the Trump administration for claiming Democratic lawmakers who are railing against the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia "don’t want to fight gang violence," in his first news conference since returning from his trip to visit Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. The Trump administration has said publicly it will not facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return to the United States, despite the Supreme Court ordering it to do so after a DOJ prosecutor said in federal court that the Maryland man was deported due to an "administrative error."
"I say the president, the Trump administration, if you want to make claims about Mr. Abrego Garcia and MS-13, you should present them in the court, not over social media, not at press conferences where you just rattle stuff off," Van Hollen said.
