As we’ve been reporting, Democrats have chosen their political hill to die on, and they’re going all out in supporting illegal alien and alleged MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who the Trump administration booted from the country and sent to an El Salvadoran prison.
Dems in general look pretty deranged spouting off on why it’s essential that this guy be brought back, but the silliest stunt belongs to Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen, who’s gone down to the Central American country on a stunt trip and is demanding answers from El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, who on Monday indicated that he had no plans to send Abrego Garcia back to the States.
Does this guy seem desperately thirsty for attention or what?
I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home. pic.twitter.com/MzKe7U8Wwr
Border Czar Tom Homan—who our Ward Clark likes to call “The Hammer”—was disgusted with Van Hollen’s posturing:
[Homan] tore into Democrats Wednesday as Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen headed to El Salvador, seeking to bring home suspected MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom he says was "wrongfully abducted" from the U.S.
"He wasn't abducted. He's an MS-13 gang member, classified as a terrorist that was removed from this country, so we got rid of a dangerous person," Homan told "Fox & Friends."
"An El Salvadoran national was returned to the country of El Salvador, so he's home."
Homan echoed rhetoric from other Trump officials who have called Abrego Garcia a "public safety threat," insisting his removal was "exactly what should have happened" while fighting his return to the U.S.

BREAKING: Tom Homan just laid waste to Democrat Senator Van Hollen over his visit to El Salvador for the criminal illegal alien who's being held in CECOT:

The tweet continues:
"Rather than taking care of the constituents in his state, the victims of illegal, illegal crime in his state, he's gonna run to El Salvador to protect MS13 terr*rists. It's just disgusting."
"Where were they when we had 12 million illegal aliens coming across the border? Where were they when we had a 600% increase in s*x trafficking?"

Homan wanted to know where all Van Hollen’s compassion was when a resident of his own state, mother of five, Rachel Morin, was raped and murdered:
Homan said he's "disgusted" to see a member of Congress run to Abrego Garcia's aid in El Salvador as illegal immigrants commit crimes in the U.S., including in Van Hollen's own state.
"The murder of Rachel Morin... listen to the testimony and listen to the mother on ‘Hannity’ last night. If you're not human... your heart wasn't broken. It [happened] in his state, but rather than taking care of the constituents in his state, the victims of illegal crime in his state, he's going to run to El Salvador to protect MS-13 terrorists," he added.
Once again, Democrats are showing what their priorities are—and once again, it’s not about improving the lives of regular Americans or caring about our safety. As Homan said, one can only feel “disgusted” by their antics.
Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
