Dem Chris Van Hollen Proposes Sanctioning El Salvador Over Imprisonment of Deported Illegal Alien – Twitchy

Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen still has illegal alien sweetheart Kilmar Abrego Garcia on his mind and is going to great lengths to pry him from his native El Salvador. On Thursday, he urged Americans not to visit the Central American country because its president refuses to release Garcia and fly him to the United States. Van Hollen also says he’s announcing ‘sanctions legislation’ over the snub. Wow, that’s devotion, but it is reserved solely for illegal aliens, not American citizens.

Chris Van Hollen is pathetically begging people not to visit El Salvador; says he’ll be announcing ‘sanctions legislation’ over deported MS13 alien Abrego-Garcia — 

“Targeting @nayibbukele and all those who are part of his government conspiring with Donald Trump.”

They really want to keep going with this.

Witness the ridiculousness here. (WATCH)

Van Hollen wants sanctions against El Salvador, but he’ll have to get Congress on board, which is unlikely. He certainly doesn’t have the power to issue them directly.

He can’t issue sanctions 😂🤣😂🤣

His voters don’t know that😂.

Why isn’t he being charged under the Logan Act

That’s a good question since he is on a one-man mission to interfere with America’s diplomatic relationship with El Salvador.

Commenters called out Van Hollen for wanting Americans to avoid El Salvador after he went on a ‘vacation’ there to visit Garcia on the taxpayers’ dime.

Oh so it’s good enough for his tax payer funded vacation but not good enough for the rest of us. I think I’d rather go to a safe place like El Salvador and some of the other hell holes he is talking about.

Safer in El Salvador than in Maryland

— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) May 1, 2025

Sure, seems that way, definitely safer than near me, Indianapolis or Chicago.

Garcia is safer in his native country than he ever was while living illegally in Maryland.

Posters were sure Van Hollen would come to his senses after more damning info came out about Garcia. However, he still has a sweet spot for him, even though his wife says he abused her, he was stopped for human trafficking in Tennessee, and is most certainly a member of MS-13.

Democrats and most politicians will use what ever they can to get in the spotlight. Its free advertising. All performative and meaningless.

I thought they might be prepared to let this one die. Apparently not.

I thought so, too. They lost the messaging war on this one weeks ago.

We all need to take a summer vacation to El Salvador to thank the people. lol

We should. If El Salvadoran hotels were smart, they’d offer enticing travel deals with the discount code: VanHollen.
