Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen said he has met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man wrongly deported to El Salvador last month.
Van Hollen, who traveled to the Central American country earlier in the week, wrote in an April 17 message on X, “I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance."
"I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love," he said. "I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.”
Moments before the lawmaker posted a message and image, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele posted three additional photos from the meeting. He quipped that the two were sharing a margarita together.
"Now that he’s been confirmed healthy, he gets the honor of staying in El Salvador’s custody," Bukele said.
