Democrat Maryland He published a picture from Abry Garcia on the Social Media Platform X.
“I said that my main goal of this journey (to Salvador) was to meet with Kilmar. Today I had this chance. I called his wife, Jennifer to convey his message of love. I can't wait for full update after returning,” wrote Van Hollen.
After arriving in Salvador on Wednesday, Van Hollen said that the authorities refused him access to Abry Garcia, who was detained in a well -known prison for gang members.
Van Hollen arrived at a meeting with senior officials and a lawyer of the release of Abry Garcia, but Vice President Salvador said that Felix Ulloa said that he could not allow a visit or a phone call from Abry Garcia.

It wasn't right at once, which allowed the senator to access the senator.
Trump and the President of Salvador Nayib Bukele said this week that they have no grounds to send abrego Garcia back, even when Trump's administration called his deportation, and the US Supreme Court called on administration to facilitate his return.
Trump's officials claimed that Abrego Garcia, a Salvadorian citizen, who lived in Maryland, has connections with the MS-13 gang, but his lawyers say that the US government did not present that Abry Garcia has never been accused of any crime related to such activities.
Van Hollen's journey became a biased inflammatory point in the US, because the Democrats occupied the deportation of Abry Garcia because they say they are a cruel consequence of Trump's disregard for the courts. Republicans criticized Democrats for defending him and argued that his deportation is part of a greater effort to limit crime.
