Senator Chris Van Hollen sparked outrage after admitting his trip to El Salvador—to visit a man called an MS-13 gang member—was funded by taxpayers. Van Hollen traveled to check on Kilmar Ábrego García, deported after Trump administration officials called him a threat. Meanwhile, Americans brutalized by illegal immigrant crime wonder why their leaders ignore them.
Van Hollen used public money to meet García in a prison notorious for housing terrorists. The Salvadoran government initially blocked his visit, then staged photos showing García relaxed—a stark contrast to claims of “torture” conditions. Critics ask why a U.S. senator prioritizes a foreign gang affiliate over his own constituents.
The White House blasted Van Hollen’s stunt, noting García is a Salvadoran citizen already “home.” They highlighted Maryland’s Rachel Morin, a mother of five raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant. Van Hollen never contacted her family. His silence speaks volumes about twisted priorities favoring criminals over victims.
Maryland’s sanctuary policies let dangerous illegals roam free. ICE recently arrested a Chinese sex trafficker and a Salvadoran child predator in the state. These arrests came too late for victims. Van Hollen stays quiet about these failures while fighting for García’s return.
Taxpayers footed the bill for Van Hollen’s trip as families grieve preventable tragedies. The senator claims “human rights” concerns, but what about Americans’ right to safety? His party protects criminals while law-abiding citizens suffer. This isn’t compassion—it’s betrayal.
The Biden administration admitted García’s deportation was an “error,” but evidence suggests gang ties. Anonymous tips and past behavior justify scrutiny. Van Hollen dismisses these risks, trusting a foreign government’s prison over U.S. border security.
Conservatives demand accountability. Why fund foreign tours while communities face invasion? Every dollar spent on García’s case is a dollar stolen from schools, police, and healthcare. Americans deserve leaders who put them first—not last.
Van Hollen’s trip exposes the left’s agenda: open borders, closed prisons, and endless excuses. Real leaders protect their people. It’s time to stop coddling criminals and start defending citizens. The choice is clear—America or chaos.
