Sen. Chris Van Hollen was denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia during his diplomatic trip to the country this week, according to CBS News. Van Hollen said Vice President Félix Ulloa declined both a prison visit and a phone call with Abrego Garcia, who remains incarcerated in a supermax facility despite multiple U.S. court rulings ordering his return. Van Hollen accused the Trump administration of lying about Abrego Garcia’s alleged gang ties, which have not been substantiated by either Salvadoran or U.S. authorities. ICE previously admitted the deportation was an “administrative error." Van Hollen claimed El Salvador is being paid by the Trump administration to continue holding him.
