Senator Chris Van Hollen’s trip to El Salvador blew up in his face this week. The Maryland Democrat tried to pressure El Salvador’s government to release deported MS-13 gang member Kilmar Ábrego García, but got shut down hard. While Van Hollen plays hero for a violent criminal, Maryland families brutalized by illegal immigrant crime are left wondering — when will their senator fight for them?
García isn’t some innocent “Maryland father” like liberals claim. Court records show his own wife accused him of punching her and ripping her clothes off in 2021. He wore gang symbols when arrested and ran with known MS-13 thugs. Yet Van Hollen jets off to Central America demanding special treatment for this deported criminal instead of protecting Americans from Biden’s border chaos.
Where was Van Hollen’s outrage when illegal immigrants raped Maryland kids and slaughtered mothers? Just days ago, ICE arrested an MS-13 leader in his state who controlled global drug networks. Another illegal immigrant sex trafficker and a child predator were picked up too. These are the monsters Van Hollen’s sanctuary policies unleash on his own voters.
The Supreme Court already smacked down this sham. They ruled García’s deportation was illegal, but even liberal justices can’t force El Salvador to free him. President Bukele rightfully called him a terrorist and refused to bow to US politicians. Meanwhile, Biden’s DOJ keeps stalling — probably hoping voters forget how they coddle gangs while Americans suffer.
Democrats keep lying about “clerical errors” to cover their open borders disaster. They’d rather defend MS-13 than admit their policies get people killed. Van Hollen’s stunt proves the left cares more about illegal criminals than cops, crime victims, or the rule of law. It’s disgusting watching politicians put foreign gangsters ahead of hardworking families.
While Van Hollen wastes tax dollars on this circus, southern border crossers are hitting record lows under Trump’s tough policies. Democrats should praise these results if they actually cared about safety. Instead, they’re scheming to smuggle gang members back into our neighborhoods. This isn’t compassion — it’s treason against American citizens.
Maryland parents deserve answers. Why does their senator ignore ICE’s arrest of a Chinese sex trafficker in his state last week? Why no outrage over the Venezuelan child predator caught near DC? Van Hollen’s silence screams where his loyalties lie — with the criminal invaders, not the people he swore to protect.
President Trump’s message is clear: America first. Our communities must never be sacrificed for liberal virtue signaling. November’s election will be a reckoning for every politician like Van Hollen who sides with gangs over grieving American families. The left’s priorities are backwards, and voters are ready to make them pay.
