Van Hollen Statement on Kilmar Abrego Garcia
Today, U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) released the following statement regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release from custody:
“Despite the Trump Administration’s relentless efforts to defy our Constitution, our legal system has worked its will and is upholding Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s right to due process. Following the court’s ruling, I’m glad that he is being returned to his home and his family, where he rightly belongs. While I have no doubt the Administration will continue its attempts to undermine Mr. Abrego Garcia’s rights, we will continue fighting to see them maintained – because due process in this case does not end with his release. Mr. Abrego Garcia must continue to be allowed to defend himself in court, where the Trump Administration must make its case before taking any further action against him. This is a matter that’s greater than just this one case or one man – if one person’s rights are denied, then the rights of all of us are at risk.”
