'He's experienced trauma': Senator Chris Van Hollen recounts El Salvador meeting with Kilmar Abrego Garcia - MSNBC [View all]
Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., revealed new details about his meeting this week with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, including that he had been traumatized by his imprisonment in El Salvador. Van Hollen met with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador and held a news conference at Washington Dulles International Airport upon his return.
He told reporters that he met with Abrego Garcia for more than 30 minutes and informed him of the national attention on his case, which the senator said Abrego Garcia was unaware of. “His conversation with me was the first communication he’d had with anybody outside of prison since he was abducted,” Van Hollen said. “He said he felt very sad about being in a prison because he had not committed any crimes.” - Aired on 04/18/2025.
