Blue state senator flies to El Salvador to visit deported migrant in prison, only to be denied​

Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., was denied a visit with a Salvadoran migrant and accused MS-13 member who was deported to El Salvador, after flying to the country on Wednesday morning.


Van Hollen intended to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia, 29, who was deported to the El Salvadoran mega prison "Terrorism Confinement Center" (CECOT) for being an alleged MS-13 gang member, though his attorneys maintain he does not have any gang ties.

Van Hollen spoke to reporters from El Salvador on Wednesday afternoon, when he vowed to continue pressing for access to Abrego Garcia.

He met with Vice President Félix Augusto Antonio Ulloa Garay because President Nayib Armando Bukele Ortez was out of the country, though Van Hollen said he was grateful to speak about the case of Abrego Garcia.

"I asked the vice president if I could meet with Mr. Abrego Garcia, and he said, ‘well, you need to make earlier provisions to go visit CECOT,’" Van Hollen said.

He told Ulloa that he was not interested in taking a tour of CECOT and that he just wanted to meet with Abrego Garcia.

"He said he was not able to make that happen," Van Hollen said of Ulloa.

When Van Hollen asked if he could come back next week to see Abrego Garcia, Ulloa told him he could not promise that, either. Ulloa also told the U.S. senator that he could not even arrange for him, or Abrego Garcia’s family, to speak with the inmate over the phone.....

This dirt bag of a Senator never personally called the mother a Rachael Morin. The Maryland mother of 5 that had her head bashed in and was raped by an illegal. Yet he flies all the way to El Salvador to bring a MS 13 gang member back to Maryland. Rachel was his constituent and a citizen of Maryland. Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador and was ordered to be deported from the USA.

One minor detail: no evidence he was a member of MS-13 gang.

Interesting that they are cheering for denial of due process.

Are you an expert on MS-13 tattoos?

The wrong tattoo can get you stopped by police. But artists in El Salvador say more people want their ink
By David Culver, Abel Alvarado, Evelio Contreras and Rachel Clarke, CNN
—
Gang tattoos were once a vital currency in El Salvador, just a few years ago when it was known as the “murder capital of the world.”

Some designs confirmed membership of MS-13 or 18th Street —ultra-violent street organizations that ruled with machetes and intimidation — and commemorated slain gang members while issuing warnings to the living.

Now, under the strict rule of President Nayib Bukele, suspected gang tattoos can be used as evidence of membership in an illegal organization, and lead to detention. Intelligence on those tattoos has also been shared by El Salvador with European countries dealing with gangs, and with the United States, where on Monday Bukele is set for a White House meeting with President Donald Trump.

Tattoos have been used as evidence to deport people from the US and while there are accusations the designs have been misread, El Salvador’s Security and Justice Minister Gustavo Villatoro said he could identify very specific meanings.

“We learn how to understand, how to give interpretation to each tattoo,” Villatoro said in an exclusive interview with CNN. Gangs have been a personal project for him in his work for 20 years. He even has a book with photographs and analysis of hundreds of different markings. “We know the importance for them to identify their members by the tattoos. If you are not a member, you are not able to use any tattoo.”

Inside the Cecot supermax prison, its director Belarmino García told CNN that tattoos had been a key way to identify suspects.

“In the past, they had to kill someone, kidnap someone, extort someone to be brought to trial. Now, having tattoos for these organizations is a crime,” García explained.

He has a MS 13 tattoo that is illegal to have in El Salvador. He beat his wife on at least two different occasions to the point that she took out two different restraining orders.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

This just keeps getting better and better. The Democrats backed the wrong horse in this race.

Seems Abrego Garcia also:

Had 4 outstanding bench warrants in Maryland for traffic violations
Was arrested and charged with domestic violence against his wife and beat her on multiple occasions
Had previous arrests for being with other MS 13 gang members along with repeated police involvement

Wonder if he went to visit Laken Rileys mother?

He had his due process 6 years ago when he was supposed to be deported. It's finally happened.

No, it points out the absurdity of defending him as the Left / Democrats are doing.

Who's defending domestic violence?

 

[T. A. Gardner]

Who's defending domestic violence?

The Left and Democrats indirectly by demanding that this gang banging thug and criminal be returned to the US so he can have another day in court.

 

[volsrocks]

Is that supposed to lessen the defense of him?

Why do you call a citizen of El Salvador a Maryland man?


If a citizen of the US from Maryland is in Paris France do they call him a Parisians or Frenchman?
