United States Senator Chris Van Hollen has met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man wrongly deported to El Salvador last month in a case that has sparked anger in America.

The Democratic Senator was initially denied access to visit the notorious anti-terrorism jail in El Salvador where Kilmar was sent with over 200 other people, as part of a Trump administration clamp down on suspected gang members.

On Thursday night, Van Hollen shared a photo of the meeting on social media platform X. Abrego Garcia was seen dressed in a checkered shirt and baseball cap.
