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 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.”

    It’s probably the first time in weeks that he was given water that didn’t taste kinda nasty.

    Are visits even allowed at the prison where he’s being held? If so, I guarantee that they don’t take place in a room as nice as this.

    Do you think those are even his own clothes, or did somebody go out and buy some at the last minute? Did they force him to wear a hat in order to cover his prison haircut? I imagine he was wearing a prison jumpsuit not long before this photo was taken, and was ordered back into it as soon as the meeting was over.

    They really went out of their way to stage something nice looking. It’s almost as if they don’t want the general public to dwell on what a horrific situation he’s in. Then you might start to think about the incompetence, injustice, and cruelty that’s keeping him there - and the system responsible.
