US senator returns from El Salvador trip, says Abrego Garcia case is about far more than one man

WASHINGTON (AP) — The dispute over the wrongful deportation and imprisonment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia "is not only about one man" but about Donald Trump's disregard of the American judicial system as well, Sen. Chris Van Hollen said Friday as he returned from a three-day trip to El Salvador to press for the detained man's release.

Speaking to reporters just after landing back in the United States, Van Hollen offered few answers about what will come next in Abrego Garcia's case. But the Maryland Democrat said that he and others will keep speaking out after the Trump administration defied court orders to facilitate his return to the United States and insisted that he would stay in El Salvador - even as officials acknowledged an "error" in deporting him.
