Senator Who Called For Abrego Garcia's Return Uses White House's Words Against Trump
HuffPost
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) revealed what he'll "never" say to the administration after the Maryland father's return to the United States.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) hit back at President Donald Trump’s administration Friday after the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia — the Maryland father mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador — to U.S. soil.
Van Hollen, who met with Abrego Garcia in April as the Trump administration refused to abide by a Supreme Court order to facilitate his return to the States, responded to a White House statement that asked him and others “who defended this illegal criminal abuser to immediately apologize” to the man’s “victims.”
“You know, I will never apologize for defending the Constitution,” he told CNN’s Anderson Cooper, who read part of the White House statement to Van Hollen.
“In fact, it’s the Trump administration and all his cronies who should apologize to the country for putting us through this unnecessary situation and to Abrego Garcia for putting him through this situation and his family,” Van Hollen added.
Abrego Garcia, per initial reports later confirmed by Attorney General Pam Bondi in a press conference, landed back in the U.S. to face federal criminal charges that accuse him of transporting unauthorized migrants into the country.
