Democratic Senator Chris van Holin will move from Maryland to Salvador On Wednesday and trying to visit Kilmar Ango Garcia, which is composed of his deportation and imprisonment in the Central American country, he warned from the United States to a constitutional crisis.
In an interview with The Guardian on Tuesday, Van Holin said he hoped to get to know the case of ábrego García and transfer it to his family, who also lives in the state he represents.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Assure Abrego García is held at the CECOT CECOT US Supreme Court last week The Trump administration’s statement must “facilitate” his return to the United States, the president He refuses to do so.
“We were in the gray area before this. But if it was Trump administration Van Holin said:
in Tuesday sessionFederal Judge Paula Shinis, officials of the Ministry of Justice, did not comply with the Supreme Court order, saying, “So far, nothing has been done.” The government gave two weeks to produce details of its efforts to return Abrego García to the American soil.
It is not known to what extent will Van Holin, who has represented Maryland since 2017, will reach El Salvador. While her government welcomed Minister of Internal Security Christie sleep As for Cecot, Van Holin said he did not respond to his request to visit the prison, as a group of rights warned of violations and circumstances.
“We have submitted these requests for these El Salvador government, and I hope to agree to meet to discuss the situation Maryland On his well -being, “Senator said.
“This is Maryland’s man. His family is in Maryland, and he fell in this very obscene situation, as the Trump administration in court admitted that he was mistakenly kidnapped from the United States and put in this famous prison in El Salvador in violation of all his rights in the due process.”
This week, Van Holin sent a message to Al -Salvador’s ambassador to the United States asking to meet a agent when he was in Washington, but he did not receive any response, which prompted Senator to plan to travel to the country. Last week, the representative of the Democratic House of Representatives, Adriano Esbayat, who heads Spanish origin in Congress, asked Bokille to meet with Abrego García at Cecot.
During his appearance alongside Trump in the Oval Office, the agent of the release of ábrego García refused to reserve, saying: “How can I smuggle a terrorist to the United States? I will not do it.”
Immigration and Customs officers (ICE) arrested, deported and deported in Garcia last month, although the immigration judge granted him in 2019 “withholding the removal to El Salvador”, a protected situation for people who fear their safety if they return to their homeland. The Trump administration accused him of being a member of the MS-13 gang, which Garcia’s lawyers denied, indicating that the prosecution is based on one laboratory that he said belongs to a chapter in New York, although he never lived there.
The arrest comes at a time when Trump is pressing with plans for mass deportation for illegal immigrants, who saw him colliding with judges worldwide. Supreme Court last week He supported the use of his administration Among the law of foreign enemies in the eighteenth century to deport the members of the Venezuelan suspects, but they have also been entitled to obtain legal procedures to challenge their removal operations.
Van Holin said that the ABREGO García case is a turning point for the Trump administration because the president refuses to follow an order from the highest court in the country – something Democrats He has long warned that he would do.
“Unless it was previously done in public is the challenge of the court,” Van Holin said. “The slow court orders, they tried to analyze their words based on the technical aspects, and they did not explicitly unite the court’s order. In my opinion, this line clearly expresses.”
