This guy's a hero. Good shit, Senator.
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.

If the case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia is so iron clad and simple, then it ought to be very easy to prove that by bringing him back, giving him due process, and winning in court.

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.
