Van Hollen said El Salvador’s vice president told him he couldn’t see Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported on March 15 to El Salvador’s terrorism confinement center, known as CECOT, and that he might be able to arrange a phone call if the U.S. Embassy requests it.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen said there's no evidence the Trump administration is taking steps to release a Maryland man wrongly deported to El Salvador.

Van Hollen, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a video posted to X that he hopes to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
