Senator Chris Van Hollen’s latest stunt in El Salvador backfired spectacularly as he tried to defend a deported illegal immigrant. The Democratic lawmaker stormed out of a meeting shaking with rage after being exposed for pushing false narratives about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man federal authorities linked to violent gang activity. This comes just weeks after Van Hollen’s embarrassing “margarita-gate” scandal where he posed with salt-rimmed glasses while lecturing Americans about immigration.
Van Hollen screamed about being “set up” when photos surfaced showing him and Garcia sitting with fancy drinks. But security footage proves nobody forced those margarita glasses onto the table. Real leaders don’t make excuses—they take responsibility. The senator’s meltdown reveals how desperate Democrats are to hide the truth about dangerous open-border policies.
President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador, a strong ally of President Trump, called out Van Hollen’s hypocrisy. While American cities drown in gang violence, Democrats jet off to foreign countries to coddle criminals. Bukele’s government provided evidence Garcia has MS-13 connections, but Van Hollen dismissed it as “racist fearmongering.”
The Trump administration stood firm, tweeting “HE’S NOT COMING BACK” with a edited New York Times headline exposing Garcia’s gang ties. Real Americans want safety, not political theater. Van Hollen’s theatrics insult every parent who’s lost a child to fentanyl or gang violence.
Garcia’s wife tried scrubbing his social media to hide his knuckle tattoos—common among MS-13 members. Courts cited flimsy evidence like his Chicago Bulls hat as proof of innocence. Since when do sports teams vouch for character? This is woke insanity putting criminals above citizens.
Van Hollen ranted about “lawless deportations” while ignoring the lawlessness flooding our neighborhoods. President Trump’s DHS protects families by removing threats, not rolling out welcome mats. Noem and the administration showed true leadership by refusing to cave to leftist bullying.
Every minute Van Hollen spends defending gang affiliates is a betrayal to Marylanders suffering from crime. His red-faced outbursts prove Democrats care more about illegal aliens than American lives. Patriots see through the lies and demand secure borders.
The “Maryland man” charade collapsed under scrutiny. Garcia belongs in El Salvador, not our communities. November can’t come soon enough to drain the swamp of politicians who prioritize criminals over constitution. President Trump remains the last line of defense against this madness.
