Trump Border Czar Calls Senator's Attempt To Visit Mistakenly Deported Man 'Disgusting'
HuffPost
Tom Homan appeared on Fox News to complain about Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and his attempt to check on the welfare of one of his constituents.
Border czar Tom Homan says it’s “disgusting” for Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) to pursue a visit with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador due to what President Donald Trump’s own Justice Department called an “administrative error.”
Abrego Garcia was deported March 15 merely on suspicion of being an MS-13 gang member and has since been confined at a notorious Salvadoran prison. The Trump administration has been openly defying a Supreme Court order to “facilitate” the return of the father of three to the U.S.
Homan appeared Wednesday on Fox News to defend the administration, despite a federal court filing last month confirming the deportation was made in “error” — and attacked the Maryland senator for traveling to El Salvador to try to meet with Abrego Garcia, who had been living in his state.
“It’s just disgusting,” Homan said on “The Ingraham Angle.”
“I talked to an MS-13 expert today who also showed me pictures of his hand,” he told host Laura Ingraham. “He says absolutely the tattoo on one of his hands was absolutely an MS-13 gang tattoo. Nothing questionable about it.”
