Border czar Tom Homan slammed Democrats on Wednesday. He took aim at Sen. Chris Van Hollen over his push to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador. Van Hollen claims the suspected MS-13 gang member was "wrongfully abducted" from the U.S.
"He wasn't abducted. He's an MS-13 gang member, classified as a terrorist that was removed from this country, so we got rid of a dangerous person," Homan told "Fox & Friends."
"An El Salvadoran national was returned to the country of El Salvador, so he's home."
Homan said Abrego Garcia posed a public safety threat. He called the deportation exactly what should have happened. Now, he’s outraged anyone is trying to reverse it.
Homan blasted Van Hollen for going to El Salvador. He said the senator should focus on crime in his own state instead.
"The murder of Rachel Morin... listen to the testimony and listen to the mother on ‘Hannity’ last night. If you're not human... your heart wasn't broken. It [happened] in his state, but rather than taking care of the constituents in his state, the victims of illegal crime in his state, he's going to run to El Salvador to protect MS-13 terrorists," Homan said.
This follows Trump’s recent meeting with El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele. Van Hollen also asked to meet with Bukele to help bring Abrego Garcia back to the U.S.
Last week, the Supreme Court upheld a lower court’s order. It said the U.S. must "facilitate" Abrego Garcia’s release and treat the case as if he was never deported.
"How can I smuggle a terrorist into the U.S.? I don't have the power to return him to the United States," Homan added.
