Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen says he has met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who immigration officials say was deported by error, in El Salvador on Thursday.
The Democratic senator shared a photo with Abrego Garcia at what appears to be a restaurant.
“I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar,” Sen. Van Hollen said. “Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.”
Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele also posted photos of the meeting, but suggested Abrego Garcia will remain incarcerated by his government: “Now that he’s been confirmed healthy, he gets the honor of staying in El Salvador’s custody.”
