SUMMARY: Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration. Garcia’s deportation, admitted as an error, was later linked by the administration to MS-13 gang membership, which his attorney denies. A recent ruling by the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to avoid answering questions under oath, with Judge Harvey Wilkinson criticizing the government’s actions. Deportation issues, including Garcia’s case, remain a contentious legal topic, with ongoing disputes over executive power and due process in the courts.

FOX News’ Shannon Bream tells FOX 4 that the Maryland mayor went to El Salvador to speak with the man who was mistakenly deported by the Trump Administration. FOX News Sunday airs at 8 a.m. on FOX 4.
