If he’d tried to forcibly secure Garcia’s release that would very likely set off an insane chain of consequences we haven’t made adequate preparations for. Like, if nothing else, Van Hollen would be a fugitive from the American government at that point because there’s no way any American court would let a Senator start doing commander in chief stuff like that.
Want to see a politician that really goes the extra fucking mile and stays the fuck there until they leave with him
I tend to agree, but we need all the votes in the US Senate we can get right now, so I think Van Hollen’s a bad person to do this. A quick online search tells me there’s a decent margin in the Maryland state Senate though, so one of those lawmakers could camp down there and keep pushing this.
Why should he try to smuggle him back into the country? According to the situation, Garcia is officially in Salvadorian custody. An operation like this affords more sensitivity.
I am sure Van Hollen has already made plans for Garcias return, and surely that’s what they have been talking about. But this needs to be decided in court or achieved by lawyers.
If nothing happens from now on, okay then fuck him
To be honest, I half hope another country sends in an extraction team to get him out and then offers him and his family asylum. It probably won’t happen, but I can dream.
I have not yet thought about the realistic outcome. Would it be possible for him to return on a court order from another US state, against the will of the white house?
I guess the fact that he’s in the spotlight right now does not help his situation. Bukele probably doesn’t want to lose his face either.
A third country solution might be his best option.
but we talked and made plans to talk more and make more plans and we would do more but Republicans
apathetic but appear to be actively doing something about it while appearing to care when in reality your thumbs are so deep in shit the smell and the stains will never go away
I can understand people being furious about seeing the progress fascism is making in our country. I think the aggression is a bit misdirected in this particular case, but I get it.
Fuck you Chris Van Hollen for making a trip just to get votes later and if that is not the case then why the fuck could not just have given a ride
Sure that private jet you flew in on had the space and bet your in flight meal is better than his gulag soup

Keyboard warrior strikes again!
You’re calling the kettle black in the middle of the cookware aisle here, we’re all “keyboard warriors,” you just don’t like this one’s opinion
yes because in our downtime from defending democracy we activists use a keyboard
even in our free time we still do not give up dreaming
Mom’s basement bunker defends against all kinds of threats, including inclement weather, rabid dogs and not the least of all, internet blowback!

“Against the will of the White House”
I hope the judiciary FUCKS Trump over this behavior.
typical Democrat response

To be honest, I don’t understand your aggressive tone. Just tell me, what exactly would YOU do?
