Overview

  • Senator Chris Van Hollen met Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador’s CECOT prison, confirming his safety and relaying messages from his family.
  • The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously rejected the Trump administration’s emergency stay request, reinforcing the Supreme Court’s directive to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return.
  • President Trump and El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele continue to resist compliance with U.S. court orders, citing sovereignty and public safety concerns.
  • The administration alleges Abrego Garcia is linked to MS-13, but his attorneys and court records show no criminal convictions or substantiated evidence of gang affiliation.
  • The case underscores broader tensions over immigration enforcement, human rights protections, and the balance of power between the executive and judicial branches.
