Here to talk about Van Hollen and the latest news on President Trump's immigration agenda is Daily Wire reporter Tim Peirce. So Van Hollen returned from El Salvador over the weekend and has been making the media rounds. What did he actually accomplish there? A photo op, essentially. The Maryland Democrat was able to finally meet with suspected MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego-Garcia last week.

He then, like you noted, went on a media tour. On ABC's This Week on Sunday, he said he achieved his goal.

The optics here are messy. On the one hand, a federal judge has said Abrego Garcia's due process was violated. But on the other, he's a suspected gang member and trafficker. And in 2021, his wife filed a protective order petition against him. She said he had beaten her multiple times. She decided not to follow up on the petition after she said they worked out things between them.

Van Hollen was asked about Abrego Garcia's alleged gang ties on CNN and admitted that he actually didn't even ask him about it.

So the senator won't deny that Abrego Garcia could be a member of a brutally violent gang. He also confirmed on Fox News that his trip was indeed paid for by taxpayers.

Yes, like every other trip. So it's a weird look for Van Hollen to try to turn Abrego Garcia into a sympathetic figure. It seems like a tough sell to the American people. So there's the legal side of this and the political side, of course. What are Republicans focusing on? There's been a lot of focus on Van Hollen's trip because Abrego Garcia has such a checkered history.
