Sen. Van Hollen Sips Margaritas With Kilmar Abrego Garcia
El Salvador President Nayib Bukele: “Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the ‘death camps’ & ‘torture’, now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!”

Weird. So did they turn away Sen. Chris Van Hollen or what? That’s what the senator kept saying, after all.
This is such a great look, Senator. Sipping drinks with an alleged MS-13 member, whose wife accused him of domestic violence and Tennessee police believed took part in human trafficking.
Also…notice how Van Hollen chose a picture without the margaritas. WEIRD.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return. pic.twitter.com/U9y2gZpxCb

Abrego Garcia looks FANTASTIC. So much for those trying to claim he is being mistreated or starved! They even wanted people to think he was dead.
El Salvador President Nayib Bukele posted: “Now that he’s been confirmed healthy, he gets the honor of staying in El Salvador’s custody.”
Now that he’s been confirmed healthy, he gets the honor of staying in El Salvador’s custody 🇺🇸🤝🏼🇸🇻 https://t.co/2xVt4SNOGn

Lulz….this doesn’t play like he thinks it does.
A propaganda photo shoot allowed by the government of El Salvador.
It’s a shame he appears live and well.
Sorry for the loss of your narrative.
Correct. Great propaganda for Senator Suck MS 13 ass van Hollen.
Did the political prisoner give any hints to Van Hollen about how to beat his estranged wife’s ass?
You should fly over and join them.
A Democrat being a Democrat. A generation ago Van Hollen would be meeting on film with a Fidelista. They never change.
And a generation before that he’d be whipping his slaves.
He definitely would be meeting with Hugo Chavez like the other Democrats.
Garcia: “I’ve got to convince this schmuck to get me out of my country where I am being punished for what I am, to a country where idiots will honor me for what I am.”
Mrs. Garcia: “Please don’t let them bring back that wife beater!”
Democrats: “Let us take the knee for our esteemed illegal alien criminal.”
I’m guessing Trump hasn’t shown all his cards. He’s been holding back some of the worst stuff on Señor Garcia. When it finally comes out, the margarita loving senator from Maryland is going to look worse than Benedict Arnold.
So far my card is looking good…I have Letitia James, Jasmine Crockett and Sen Van Hollen.
I only need a Christopher Wray, a Jack Smith, or a Peter Strzok and I have a winning card!
Maybe, Musk has uncovered something bigger than the Garcia story. musk’s team must know if US AID funds were rerouted through various NGO’s and shell companies and recaptured by Democrat politicians. Something so big it would force mass resignations.
There is something bigger! Why would the FBI demand that local police in TN release Garcia from a traffic stop and why is Garcia the hill on which Dems want to die? He was transporting illegals from the border to the east coast, was it at the behest of the Biden Administration? Seems to be that there is an underlying reason for all the fuss over this particular deportee.
If that were the case, Clinton would have arranged a Jeffrey Epstein or a Seth Rich.
Garcia is actually in protective custody, and I wouldn’t be surprised if certain people are scoping out the territory to arrange for Garcia to commit Arkancide.
Of course, my comment is snark.
You mean like the fact that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was suspected of human trafficking by the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) who detained him in December 2022 but the Biden FBI told the THP to release him?
That kind of thing?

Biden’s FBI Ordered TN Highway Patrol to Release ‘Maryland Man’ Recently Deported to El Salvador After He Was Detained in 2022 Traffic Stop on Suspicion of Human Trafficking
Some of the testimony is from fellow gang members that he belonged to MS-13. So they obviously can’t release everything in public at this time. But rest assured, they do have proof.
A man and his son. So touching. May van Hollen will get a matching gang tattoo too,
I think he already has one.
Ahhh… but the one he has is the donkey or ass if you prefer representing the democratic party. He needs a MS13 one to complete the set.
It says “AOC.” It took Hunter three days to complete.
What a complete douche.
It’s actually very difficult to believe that the stupid Communists are burning so much political capital on this loser of an issue for them. The American people are on their last nerve about this issue because the Communists just don’t seem to accept that people need to be deported, especially after like Mr garcia, they’ve had their full due process. He had a final order of removal, it’s done he doesn’t get to live here anymore. And, if he is sent back he will be detained and then he will be removed again to a different country.
When it’s all you have, they have to parade it publicly.
Meanwhile, back at the figurative Tesla muggings for Democrats….
Yo no lo entiendo.
No lo entiendo más que tú.
Ich auch nicht.
So much concern for a single person. I would never have suspected him of being such a big donor.
It is possible that the good senator made the trip at the behest of some big donor.
I just heard that considers himself Potus material. SMH He just wants publicity, at any cost.
Most whores want attention.
VH is beyond his prime, and Jemima Crockett has a lock on that attention.
Most politicians and definitely all senators consider themselves Potus material. However his antisemitism probably doomed him at least and will doom others at least for the next 20 years or so.
“considers himself Potus material”
He looked at Biden and said, “I can do that!”
Absolutely brilliant. Dems will never live this down. Hard to see how Van Hollen gets reelected.
Because his state is full of communist retards.
…you know they cheat, right?
Maryland.
Senator: “You’re a Maryland man, right?”
Señor Garcia: (Replies in Spanish)
Interpretor: He says, “You bet I am, amigo!”.
And it looks pretty nice. If I retired to El Salvador, I wouldn’t have to go in that nasty prison because I’m not a gangster or a violent criminal. I could enjoy places like that restaurant every day.
Given what a hellhole it was just ten years ago, I’d be very wary of doing that. It suggests the “strong man” effect. If it could be cleaned up in such a short time, it can go to hell again just as fast when the “other guy” takes over. Unless he wants to hang around indefinitely, like the Shah,
Yeah, I’d probably just get a condo or rent. Seems like a place that could change quickly. If anything happens to Bukele it could be all over.
If you want to go to Central America, Belize is a friendly country with a relatively low crime rate that is quite popular with American expats.
It’s the reverse Seattle!!
Democrats are the party of wife-beating criminal domestic terrorist MS-13 gang members.
Play this record LOUD.
Foreign illegal alien terrorists
But I also read that Trump appealed his right to make mistakes and send people out of the country to an appeals court, and he got blistered. Now there’s a precedent against him at least in that district. He shouldn’t have appealed but kept playing tennis with the district judge, who would have been unable to get past “we facilitated, we offered a plane, but they didn’t release him”.
Instead of Van Hollen lollygagging around on Fantasy Island, he needs to return stat — there are two fine “Washington men” back home who need his intercession critically!
“Then the mic drop. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.”
I assume you mean those green lines. Can somebody explain it to me? The thug is standing up straight, while the other thug isn’t. Does this have some Korda-esque significance in power relationships, or something?
Yeah, I don’t get what the green lines mean???
There was a guy who claimed he could determine power in relationships and other things by using lines like that. Had a following on old Twitter, maybe other platforms.
Van Hollen is in a more submissive pose by bending toward what is perceived as the more powerful and the better man
It could also be interpreted as “I am bigger than you and have to bend down to greet you”.
YMMV.
Yup. I somehow picked up a copy of the Korda paperback “Power” during the ’80s. Read the first couple chapters, then shelved it. Seemed to be obvious armchair psychology on the order of the “Pickup Artist” best-sellers of decades later.
If you open the last link and enlarge the picture to show Garcia’s hand, his fingers have M (marijuana) S (smiley) 1 (cross) 3 (skull with three dots).
The top of his hand appears to have something going on, makeup or a removed tattoo, I’m not sure.
Good catch. Yes it does. And yet the media are saying just because he has tattoos, doesn’t mean he is a gang member!! They are digging in. Why do they love criminals so much. Just remember every person they go to bat for…and most of them are not good people.
His knuckles appear to be bashed up recently, too.
Good catch
Probably got his knuckles slapped when reaching for senator’s margarita.
Birds of a feather…
Maryland mans needs an interpreter in order to communicate with the senator.
The media!??!?!!?!??!!
Milquetoast is constantly beating that drum.
He admits to being MS-13. That’s why he claimed asylum in the US, because if sent back to ES a rival gang would oppress him! We were supposed to protect him as a refugee *because* he was MS-13.
The logical inventions of lawyers are a wonder to behold, but unfortunately they affect us in real life.
One MS-13 gang member said that you have to off someone in order to become a member.
Which is irrelevant until you first show that he is a member.
If we’re still talking about this Garcia person, then no, he does not admit to being MS-13, he denies it. And the evidence that he is has never been tested by a real judge, and is alleged to be very flimsy.
They said he was an enforcer with MS13.
That is ridiculous. Why would a Spanish gang use English words to abbreviate its name? And where is there any evidence that this is a tattoo in actual use by that gang, or by any gang? You’re just making stuff up.
MS 13 originated in Los Angeles. Hispanic American gangs have a long history of utilizing american symbols in their tattoos and communications. Like how the Mexican Mafia utilizes Mickey or Minnie Mouse in their symbols (MM or Mexican Mafia), and MS13 is subordinate to the Mexican Mafia. Everyone gets hung up on MS13. They are bad, but there are much worse that flys under the radar.
You have a distinct lack of knowledge about gang activity and it is painfully obvious.
Is he going to come back and beat the wife for his new best friend?? Why do Progressives love criminals so much that they risk their party for them???
You may be onto something there.
Maybe he’s going to come back to beat his new best friend’s wife FOR him.
The d/prog going all in to support the defense of MS-13 members seems flipping dumb. I get that their political party is a vast coalition of grievance hustlers, oddballs, misfits and grifters but they really should have drawn the line on these guys.
Democrats want this fight. Read this excellent thread to understand why:
https://twitchy.com/samj/2025/04/17/due-process-thead-alexandria-brown-n2411527
I’m aware of that slant but thanks for the link as it is very helpful context for those who haven’t seen those arguments.
Personally I think it is a cynical bad faith attempt to try and overwhelm the system with sheer numbers but I suspect the eventual outcome of that will not be to the liking of the wokiesta open borders crowd. They are attempting to tie us down with weight of numbers but Gulliver escaped the grasp of the Lilliputians, the wokiestas don’t seem to understand that.
1. Rejection of their due process claims to an extent that alters current parameters of what constitutes due process which would return us to a more common sense v academic theory approach in application of due process
OR
2. All 25 million illegal Aliens plus the many millions granted deferment, TPS or Visa who refuse to self deport being placed into detention to await their due process hearing in front of one the roughly 900 Federal District Court Judges.
+
2A. No new Visa granted, no new asylum admissions, no new refugee admissions. Revocation and/or non renewal of any existing grants of permission for any Alien to be lawfully present in the USA until the entire backlog of 30 million ish Aliens has their case resolved.
Once you get that Overton window really rolling, it can roll right over ya.
I’m assuming that “Saint Kilmar”, although an illegal alien, is registered to vote in MD. Why else would Van Hollen be performing such constituent service?
To pave the way to resist President Trump “disappearing” (Dem word of the week) these Democrat voters.
Awesome photo opportunity for Trump. And didya notice that Garcia has a baseball hat on covering up his head gang tattoos????
Von Hollen just got played.
President Bukele, please “facilitate” a return at your convenience. Wink, wink, nod, nod!!!
We found out the meaning of “facilitate”:
“Send a US senator to facilitate Garcia’s release for a couple hours so he can drink margaritas with a friend.”
Mission accomplished!
The MS-13 creep has been judged deportable by immigration judges at trial and on appeal. Both believed the government had adequate evidence to connect him to the gang. He’s an admitted illegal alien. So all the “deported by mistake” drama is just more leftist propaganda theater. As usual, the entire Democrat Party stands with the criminals and against the American people.
That two immigration “judges” believed the government evidence means very little. The facts as they have been made public so far do not support that conclusion, and the only real judge to look at the case says she’s seen no such evidence.
But regardless of that, his deportation was definitely by mistake, and was definitely illegal — the government admitted that, and the Supreme Court affirmed it.
Montco – the tip of the spear.
Montgomery County Community College? I don’t follow…
So what happens when the senator comes home and gives the gang banger’s message to his mrs? Give her a good punch in the chops.
I’m sorry if someone already answered this question already but…… What is the meaning of the green stripes in the las picture?
Start here.
It’s just two crooks getting together over drinks …. Nothing more.
Dems lie and lie always. Van Hollen does not care for the American citizen, but he is following his Dem orders and script trying to get illegals and illegal criminals into this country for the Dem voting base. This is against what the American people want but Dems do not care about the American people only their power,
I would have expected President Bukele to have had Senator Van Hallen turned around at the airport and sent home with notice that a single US Senator does not conduct foreign policy for the USA. But, instead he made what may turn out to be a brilliant move. Bukele’s prisoner, not dressed in the white outfits and allowed to dine with the Senator may not enjoy such comforts for long. Anyway, the pic of Van Hallen dining with an MS13 member will surface again if Van Hallen aspires to higher office.
Provided that he does in fact turn out to be such a member, then yes, it will probably even resurface if he merely recontests his seat in 2028.
