Trump’s White House attacks the senator who visited Kilmar Abrego García in El Salvador
President Donald Trump accused Senator Chris van Hollen of the great policy after the Maryland Democrat managed to meet this week with an immigrant who had gained a life in his state before being unfairly deported to El Salvador last month.
The case caused new fears that the Trump administration is not particularly interested in respecting the rule of law in the United States.
The president wrote on his social media platform that the senator “seemed a fool yesterday in El Salvador asking attention to the false media, or anyone.”
He threw an insult: “Grandfather!”
Trump also lashed out at the immigrant, Kilmar Abrego García, saying that “he was not a very innocent guy” on Friday while talking to journalists.
Abrego García was accidentally dragged when the Trump administration flew to the first immigrant groups to a Salvadoran megaprison called Cecot, which has a reputation for human rights abuse.
They had not seen or listened until Van Hollen shared a photo of himself sitting and talking to Abrego García on Thursday. The photograph caused a response from the president of El Salvadoran, Nayib Bukele, who made fun of concerns about the well -being of Abrego García.
Abrego García seemed carefully dressed in a short -sleeved picture button, jeans and a hat that probably masked the buzz that all prisoners occur when entering Cecot. In prison, men are given a simple uniform and are not allowed outdoors. Cells in the capacity of 40,000 can contain up to 70 people.
The White House also mocked Van Hollen’s trip in X, previously Twitter, marking a New York Times holder to label Abrego García in an “MS-13 Alien Illegal” that “never returns.”
Van Hollen was initially rejected by Salvadoran officials when he arrived in the country on Wednesday asking to meet with Abrego García, a father of El Salvador who is married to an American citizen and lived in Maryland.
The senator said he would share more information about the meeting on his return to the United States on Friday.

Abrego García had granted a special protection order by a federal judge in 2019 that avoided his deportation to El Salvador for fear of persecution. While immigration officials offered thin evidence that he was a member of MS-13, he argued that he would be attacked by violent gangs if he returned to his country of origin.
The Supreme Court of the United States agreed that the Trump administration had to “facilitate” the return of the immigrant, although the case has been sent back to a lower court for additional procedures.
At a press conference given before it was allowed to see Abrego García, Van Hollen said he came to El Salvador “to address the judicial system of the United States, which guarantees people the right to due process.”
“We must ensure that the judicial system works and due process works, because if you remove it for any individual, it is a very short path to take it all in the United States,” said Van Hollen.
“I must point out that this inability to communicate with its lawyers is a violation of international law. El Salvador is part of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,” he added, referring to the United Nations Treaty.

Abrego García’s wife, Jennifer Vásquez Sura, told “Good Morning America” on Friday that she has been “overwhelming” to know that her husband is alive.
“The most important thing for me, my children, his mother, his brother, his brother, was to see him alive, and we saw him alive,” he said in the air.
Speaking to the journalists of the White House, Trump read on Friday extracts from a statement that Vásquez Sura gave to the police while looking for an order of protection of her husband in 2021 for domestic violence. Vásquez Sura has expressed his support for Abrego García, and said in a statement to ABC News that his family had resolved the conflict in private.
