Let’s be clear: at a time when American families are struggling under the weight of crime, inflation, and open-border chaos, Democratic lawmakers like Chris Van Hollen are packing their bags and flying to Central America. Why? To try and bring back an illegal immigrant with alleged ties to MS-13. You can’t make this stuff up.
CNN’s Scott Jennings called it “politically crazy.” That’s putting it mildly. It’s not just bad politics—it’s an outright betrayal of the very people these lawmakers were elected to serve.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia entered this country illegally, got a reprieve under questionable circumstances in 2019, and now, after being detained and deported in March, has become the latest martyr for the left’s open-borders obsession.
“It’s political malpractice to send Democrat Members of Congress to El Salvador to retrieve illegal aliens”

Let’s talk facts. Garcia’s name shows up in Prince George’s County police records with a listed gang alias and rank. Immigration authorities didn’t pull this case out of thin air. He was arrested, processed, and sent back—just as the law and national security protocols demand.
Yet now, Van Hollen and a group of Democrats are making diplomatic overtures to get him released from El Salvador’s terrorism detention center. This, while El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele rightly says he won’t “smuggle” a suspected terrorist back into the U.S.
Meanwhile, on the home front, American citizens like Rachel Morin—murdered by another illegal immigrant from El Salvador—are becoming statistics in a pattern of avoidable tragedies. Where is the urgent delegation to protect American lives? Where is the round-the-clock political energy for victims of these policies?
Instead, we’re treated to grandstanding. “He’s from Maryland,” they say, as if residency equals citizenship, or allegiance. But Jennings nailed it: Van Hollen is not Garcia’s senator. He’s supposed to be the senator for law-abiding Marylanders, not foreign nationals with suspected gang ties.
This isn’t just political malpractice. It’s national disgrace.
