A quick refresher on the facts:
Abrego Garcia is an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who was affirmed to be a "verified member of MS-13" by two immigration judges. Abrego Garcia successfully obtained a withholding of removal order by claiming he might be killed by a rival gang if he returned to El Salvador.
He ended up being put on a deportation flight to the CECOT prison in El Salvador, which the Trump administration contends was a mistake.
The Supreme Court asked the Trump administration to "facilitate" Abrego Garcia's return, but Bukele made very clear during an Oval Office visit earlier this week that he has zero intention of sending a likely gang member - and one of his own citizens - back to the U.S.
Democrats have decided that Abrego Garcia is their cause célèbre. Van Hollen is the first to cross the border for the infamous "Maryland father," but Sen. Cory Booker is also reportedly looking to organize a trip. Think he'll bring a rock hammer?
Let's do a fun little comparison to put into perspective what the Democrats are doing:
Van Hollen has referred to Abrego Garcia as his "constituent" and falsely claimed he is an "American citizen."
"I don't think he wants to essentially be the president who's kidnapped the United States citizen," Van Hollen said of Bukele.
Van Hollen's office later claimed to the Daily Caller News Foundation that he "misspoke." Nonetheless, he will fly nearly 4,000 miles round trip to try to bust Abrego Garcia out of prison. Van Hollen "won't stop fighting until he's home," he said.
Meanwhile, Van Hollen has an actual constituent and U.S. citizen who was murdered by an illegal alien. Rachel Morin didn't have the courtesy of Van Hollen attending her funeral or even calling or meeting with her family after her death.
"I'm actually outraged ... He did not call our family; he did not give condolences," Rachel's mother, Patty Morin, told Fox News. "There was no action ... in Maryland none of the Senators did anything to help search for the murderer of my daughter."

An alleged transnational gang member and alleged wife beater? Van Hollen's got your back. Family member of someone murdered because of his party's border policies? Sorry, no dice. - Daily Caller
