Summary

US Senator Chris Van Hollen defended the Constitution and fired back at California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who said that the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was “the distraction of the day.”

“Anyone who is not prepared to stand up and fight for the Constitution doesn’t deserve to lead,” Van Hollen said.

He visited El Salvador to meet with Abrego Garcia, whose deportation the Trump administration called an “administrative error.”

“Right now, we have a lawless president… who is ignoring the order of the Supreme Court of the United States to facilitate [Abrego Garcia’s] return.”
