Dem senator is going to El Salvador, uninvited, to lobby for release of MS-13 gang member

[wamose]

Van Hollen looks like a jerkoff, he acts like a jerkoff, and he's a Democrat. That means that there's a real good chance that he's a jerkoff. Lock him up.

Yep, funny how Brandon couldn't secure the border without Congressional intervention, yet Trump does it in a matter of weeks....without Congressional intervention.

I will concede that fascism does get things done quickly. Is Trump going to do something about Amtrak?

 

[rightwinger]

Your right, an immigration judge recognized his status, an appellate judge recognized his status, and now the Trump Admin has recognized his status. The gang member being married to a citizen doesn't mean squat.

OK
Have the Govt provide evidence he is MS-13 in court

That already happened.

Yes.

Control of the courts is a huge issue that must be consolidated by any prospective fascist leader who is intent on taking down a democratic system.

It appears that this step has been completed.

Hitler took control of the courts in Germany123. The judiciary lost its independence as it was increasingly controlled by the Nazis. Judges who did not join the National Socialist League for the Maintenance of Law were dismissed. Jewish lawyers and judges and those with socialist or other views inconvenient to the Nazi Party were removed1. In 1933, the legal profession was brought under Nazi party control through a system of gleichschaltung2. German judges began taking an oath to follow Hitler, not the country's constitution3.

Amazing, how desperate the left is to keep an illegal alien in the US.
Imagine, if they worked as hard to find reasons to deport them.

Van Hollen was fortunate he did not have a Leo Ryan moment as Jim Jones was replaced by the cartel culture of that area of the planet.

I've always found it amazing that libs will kill an unborn completely innocent without even missing a beat but will crawl over glass to keep a convicted child molester murderer from going to the chair.

Bukele is a dictator holding a man indefinitely without a trial.

And he’s celebrated among MAGA

Hamas is holding prisoners and they’re celebrated by Democrats at college campuses.

If he flew commercial they may not let him deplane
Andrews is apparently being persuaded also

 

[Ret Old Man]

Is this the senator that went to North Carolina to check on the citizens there who was affected by Hurricane Helene and the flooding? I didn't think so, he cares more for non-citizens apparently than US citizens-after all, he is a Democrat and has no business in El Salvador-but a vote is a vote no matter where it comes from.

/——/ Do tattoos count???

FREE THE WIFE BEATER!

 

[marvin martian]

Isn't it weird that he has the same tattoo Jimmy Carter had on his funeral program?

What are you trying to say about Jimmy?

He is probably calling the American Flag tat “questionable”.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen said Thursday he was denied entry to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador when he tried to check on the “health and wellbeing” of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.

The Maryland Democrat told reporters in San Salvador that he he had been “stopped by soldiers at a checkpoint about three kilometers” from the notorious CECOT prison, where he had driven with Chris Newman, a lawyer for Abrego Garcia’s wife and mother.

“There’s been no ability to learn about [Abrego Garcia’s] health and wellbeing,” Van Hollen said.

I can't believe he is serious. Did he think he could just walk in? Who did he expect to stop him? The El Salvadoran version of a district court judge?

Luckily for him he is welcome to give whatever help and comfort he can to the family of this woman:

Illegal immigrant convicted in mom of 5 Rachel Morin’s rape, murder after jury deliberates for less than an hour

An illegal migrant was found guilty of the 2023 rape and murder of Maryland mother of five Rachel Morin Monday afternoon — after the jury deliberated for less than an hour, according to reports.

nypost.com

Morin’s case gained national headlines at the time of her gruesome slaying because it was yet another example of an illegal migrant carrying out a shocking crime as the Biden administration refused to address the chaos at the border, which led to record illegal crossings under the former president.

She was murdered in the Senator's own state, so he can honor her by . . . oh, I don't know . . . ending Maryland's sanctuary policies that protected her murderer?

It easy when you’re a fascist and have no morals.

What he is doing, advocacy of terrorism, is illegal in El Salvador.
I imagine they will send him home, the first time, in deference to the USA.
The second time he may not be so lucky.
The next advocacy group that goes there will likely just be refused entry to El Salvador.
It's like a whole 'nother country down there.
