I've known Chris Van Hollen since the mid-90s when I worked with him at the General Assembly. He is the real deal. This is because he cares, and it's not a political stunt. The US government did something horribly wrong and he's trying to fix it.

Shame he didn’t fly to Iran when a US citizen from Maryland was held hostage there. That man spoke out today to ask why his case wasn’t given this attention.
The case where the executive branch actually took steps to return him?
The family is upset and coming forward because of Van Hollen’s different treatment. That guy got a statement - it’s a real shame Iran holding you. Garcia got a flight and attempted visit and media hoopla. Garcia is also not a citizen.
Maybe Van Hollen should treat everyone the same?
These are completely different fact patterns. If you can't see the difference, that's on you.

Wow. I just heard how he repeatedly beat his wife to smithereens.
This is who DEMOCRATS defend? WHY?
"Democrats" aren't "defending" him. Democrats and many other normal people are defending the rule of law and due process.

He's Salvadoran.
He's in his home country.
He's a citizen of El Salvador.
Yes, we know, you and your MAGA parrots keep on parroting the same line. Why don’t you write a letter to the Supreme Court and ask them why they voted 9-0 to have him returned?
I've heard from a few MAGA (live in MAGA-land, yay) and this thing is really starting to get under their skin a little bit. The nicer ones anyway.
This absolutely makes Trump look like a useless buffoon at best and at worst a despot.
It will be interesting to see if they can connect the dots.

But I guess the Senator was too busy looking out for other illegals like Garcia to worry about a dead US Citizen raped and murdered by someone just like the guy he’s currently visiting.
Shame…..
Exactly.
Hypocrites. What do you mean by “raped and murdered by someone just like the guy he’s currently visiting”? You think all Hispanics are rapists and murderers?
Men who abuse women. Just like him.
Sounds like Trump’s kind of men.

Yes they do. Or at the very least, they see no difference between a violent criminal and someone who entered without lawful status.
Both men have domestic abuse in common with each other. It’s a valid comparison.
Just like Trump!

Of all the things happening in the world right now, he's got time to fly to El Salvador to "free" a suspected Salvadoran gang member who was in the US illegally.
The Congress is on recess. He is using his time to try to get one of his constituents freed. Did you complain about the myriad GOP congresspeople who have been there this week and DiD gain access?
Why didn’t Van Hollen personally work to free his constituent from Iran? Why does he only care about the one that arrived in the US illegally?
What are you even talking about? The executive branch of the US government didn’t accidentally deport someone to Iran without any due process and then defy a SCOTUS ruling saying they were to facilitate his return, right?

Really? What do you think of the two Maga congressmen who flew over to El Salvador this week to pose with prisoners?
