DEM DODGES! Van Hollen Didn't Even Ask Abrego Garcia About MS-13 Ties [WATCH]

posted by Hannity Staff - 4.21.25

Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen spoke with Dana Bash on CNN’s State of the Union over the weekend about his recent visit to El Salvador to meet with deported alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Turns out, Senator photo-op didn’t ask Abrego Garcia one obvious question — specifically, if he had MS-13 gang ties.

Bash wanted to know why.

“Can you say without absolute certainty that he is not nor has he ever been a member of the MS-13 gang, and did you ask him point blank?” Bash asked.

“What Donald Trump is trying to do here is change the subject,” Van Hollen told Bash, who asked about Abrego Garcia’s alleged MS-13 ties.

“They are trying to litigate on social media what they should be doing in the courts.”

The Maryland Democrat then read off a quote from US District Judge Paula Xinis, who said there was “no evidence linking Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or any terrorist activity has been presented to the court.”

“That’s where to litigate this,” Van Hollen stressed. “I’m not going to get into the details because the whole purpose of our court system is for them to adjudicate these things, not for them to go off on social media.”

“Since you were the one person to have met with him … you didn’t ask him?” Bash pressed.

“I didn’t ask him that because I know what his answer is,” Van Hollen said. “What he told me is he was sad and traumatized that he was in prison because he has committed no crimes.”
