A U.S. Senator from Maryland is working from El Salvador for the release of a man mistakenly deported to that country.
NPR's Claudia Grisalos reports Senator Chris Van Hollen said Salvadoran officials refused his request to release the Maryland man.
Senator Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat,
said the Salvadoran vice president also refused his request to visit with Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.
Regardless, Van Hollen said more U.S. officials will travel to fight for his release.
I may be the first United States senator to visit El Salvador on this issue,
but there will be more and there will be more members of Congress coming.
Van Hollen argued against the administration's claims that Abrego Garcia has ties to gang activity.
He was granted protection from deportation by a judge in 2019.
The administration admitted in legal proceedings the deportation was a mistake,
but has since refused a Supreme Court decision upholding an order they must facilitate the man's return.
