Van Hollen arrived in El Salvador on Wednesday to meet with senior officials and advocate for Abrego Garcia's release, but was told by El Salvador's Vice President Felix Ulloa that he could not authorize a visit or a call with Abrego Garcia.
“Why should the government of the United States pay the government of El Salvador to lock up a man who was illegally abducted from the United States and committed no crime?” said Van Hollen, a senator from Maryland, where Abrego Garcia lived.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Democratic senator was potentially using taxpayer dollars to “demand the release of deported illegal alien MS-13 terrorist.”
The U.S. Supreme Court has directed the Trump administration to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return, after Washington acknowledged he was deported due to an administrative error.
Abrego Garcia, 29, left El Salvador at age 16 to escape gang-related violence, his lawyers said. He was granted a protective order in 2019 to continue living in the U.S.and has never been charged with or convicted of any crime.
Along with Abrego Garcia, the Trump administration has deported hundreds of people, mostly Venezuelans, whom it says are gang members, to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 without presenting evidence and without a trial.
Neither government has released the names of the men incarcerated, and the men have not had access to lawyers or any contact with the outside world since arriving at the prison, lawyers have said.
