Today I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The courts & public outcry forced Trump to return him to MD, but Trump’s cronies keep lying about his case & are engaged in a malicious abuse of power to try to deport him to Uganda. As I told Kilmar, I won’t stop fighting for justice & due process for all:
Get him a flight to somewhere sane where he will be ok until things can be worked out!!! Please!
thank you for continuing to work to protect Kilmar. this is absolutely nuts.

8/25/25 🚨 Update👏😃 'Judge blocks Trump from deporting #KilmarAbregoGarcia to Uganda' youtube.com/shorts/rFLfS...
How the hell did we even allow him to be taken into ICE custody AGAIN? He should have been in a secure undisclosed location with his family, and the only contact between him and Trump’s people should have been through lawyers.
Thank you Senator. This is outrageous.
Please keep fighting🗽 he deserves to be here. I hope him & his family can get safety, privacy, & out of this ice hell. Thank you for all that you're doing!!
Uganda⁉️
How much does it cost to keep shipping this guy all over the god damn world?!
Demand Republicans impeach him!!! Start a public campaign to force Republicans to do it. They’ve gotten a free ride for Trump long enough.
They are the ones who made the mistake of deporting him to El Salvador. They even admitted to the mistake. Please protect this man. He doesn’t deserve this.
And neither will we!
I don't understand how it is legal to deport someone to a randomly selected country where they have no connections. If you deported me to Uganda there's not a snowball's chance in hell that I could afford to get myself out of that situation.
Just to be clear, I know Trump and his henchmen don't care what is legal or moral, and they use the Constitution for toilet paper...
Get him asylum @vanhollen.senate.gov Jesus Christ!
Thank you for all your work on the Abrego case, I am sure his family appreciates it a lot.
Has he or his family been offered any counseling assistance? Is there a fund to help him with his legal and family expenses?
Thank you! I live in Texas, so I'm not used to a Senator who actually cares about his constituents. I'm still a little freaked out that Trump has the power to send people wherever he wants to send them. This is a man who throws ketchup when he doesn't like what he sees on television.
It’s an odd dynamic, and definitely new territory for me, to realize that the Majority Party in the American Government is now the enemy of the people. This needs to stop. Now.
They have a name, now they’re trying to invent a crime
When the government takes someone to a place they have never been, that's not deportation, that is Rendition!
On the soon upcoming day of reckoning: Mass Tribunal Trials of ICE goons
He needs a darn good attorney to sue the he'll out of trump and everyone in his administration.
Thank you for consistently taking action against this injustice.
I feel so bad for this guy. Can he not get political asylum somewhere? His family too?

What they are doing to him…….they could be doing to any American …….scary times…..we all need to stand up for one another
🙏💙grateful!!
Thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov Due Process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia. 🖕 ICE and Krusty Noem and Pam Bondi
Haha Krusty. Nice.
I used to think the US would stick up for me, but after Trump let the Turkish thugs beat American citizens in Trump I (2017), I knew it was a bye gone era. Thank you, for at least leaving some hope that Maryland will also fight for *all* of their citizens.
Nice words.
The concept of “plead guilty OR be sent to a concentration camp” is the worst I have seen.
This is human trafficking.....we need to call it what it is. He was KIDNAPPED and TRAFFICKED by the United States Government & into horrible abusive situations that are against the UN standards. Why can he not be met wherever he goes and taken to a country for political asylum?
Doesn't this mean my federal taxes are extortion? The American taxpayer is being FORCED WITH THREAT OF PRISION TIME TO PAY FOR THE VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS that wrong on social many levels.
If they had a real case against him, they wouldn’t be trying to extort him.
Exactly
This is such a blatant abuse of power of Alberto Garcia, if I didn’t know better, I’d think this was Russia or China. The individuals behind this must be held accountable when it’s possible to do so.
You are right. Erik Prince is in charge of everything that is happening, which appears to be modeled on his decades of concentration camp building in China. Example: substack.com/@wearestillu...
Another one of your constituents, with an open asylum case, got abducted by ICE. WE DEMAND ACTION! https://gofund.me/bb59d045
He may have a better life in another country. I am hoping that someone that's high in the government can convince a European country to grant him asylum. I am also hoping that a wealthy democrat will step up and help him financially until he is able to support himself in the new country.
He is married to a US citizen and has 2 children with her. So Kilmar and his wife would need to decide to live in another country, if asylum was offered to them.
Understood. I just don't think that they will have any peace here because tRump is scapegoating him.
True and terribly sad. They both might be saying good bye to a lot of relatives and friends.
I’m sure Canada would take him. They are not afraid of Trump.
Thank you, sir. #Courage
Always been on the List of Democrats that was fighting! Thank you for staying on Kilmar Abrego Garcia!
As soon as I heard that he was going to be released I worried that Trump admin would deport him to Sudan or another country. There needs to be consequences to Trump and his administration for the human rights violations and violations of due process. Trump admin does not care and has no consequences
Can we deport Trump yet, please
I recommend the tenth level of hell. I hear it's nice this time of year.
Quite fighting has not and will not work. All-out rebellion is necessary.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
🤔💭Come to think about it … doesn’t trump still have possible kidnapping charges from his last term in office ?
Thanks man. The evil handling of immigrants under the Trump administration is something I'm glad someone is standing up against.
Thank you. Please keep doing all you can!
Thanks, we need elected democratic officials to fight the Republican administration, not just for Abrego, but everyone whose rights have been violated by this administration.
The cruelty is the point. I’m so pissed there is no actual hell for all the trump thugs to burn in for all eternity. Damn my atheism!!
Good luck!
Please don’t let them send him to Rwanda
@vanhollen.senate.gov Mr. Abrego Garcia is entirely eligible for asylum in Canada. He just needs to go there. Preferably via Air Canada. www.canada.ca/en/immigrati...
@joshuatabah.bsky.social Canadian ambassador for Uganda
Useful information, in case one ever finds oneself in Uganda.
This man is the real deal!
My boy Van Hollen coming through again!
It is long overdue for someone to simply *remove this poor man from their custody* & force this issue this is going to keep happening until someone simply SAVES HIM
Erik Prince is modeling policies/procedures of targeting, arrests, incarceration, sentencing, laws of citizens, immigrants, lawmakers, even judges based on Prince's 10 yrs. of lucrative creation of up to 100's of Concentration Camps in China. Why is he allowed to now do that here? It's Genocide.
Thank you, Senator. He is innocent untll proven guilty in a court of law. This is a travesty.
Felon47 and his loyalists are militarizing our cities to defend their Fascist regime. No outcries will save us or Abrego Garcia now.
Trump ally Steve Bannon said on his webcast War Room: “They're petrified over at MSNBC and CNN that, hey, since we’re taking control of the cities, there's going to be ICE officers near polling places. You damn right.”
Steve Bannon the ex convict. He can GFH.
Thank you for standing up for basic human rights. When you went to El Salvador it was one of the most inspiring things I have seen. Others said the case was a distraction, but you said no it is a violation of Due Process and you actually care about your oath to uphold our Constitution. God bless you
It’s not deportation when it’s not the country of origin. It’s trafficking.
Excellent point
God help us. America is a rogue state. I feel sick after 10 minutes of news.
Indeed. And every damned day. It’s terrifying and exhausting. How quickly we’ve lost our way.
Need young people, organize mass protests that will shut down cities using all their social media together.The people have the power to run tyranny out of this country but need the Pride in America to take a large loud stand.You're running out of time America. Better get it together! Use your talent
The federal energy and resources used in an attempt to ship this one man overseas is breathtaking. And all because the feds told us they made a mistake and now need to double down on not correcting the mistake so as to not upset dear leader. Flabbergasting.
Don’t let them take him.
The torture of this poor man and all the other brown people ICE has abducted make it clear that Trump must be stopped and ICE must be abolished.
Thank you
He is the poster child for Trump and Homan's war on immigrants, good or bad. And finding outrageous places for these people, Uganda for example, is way beyond the pale.
Uganda, latest Buchenwald. How much are were paying to house and torture innocent people? If they're not completely innocent their crimes don't warrant expulsion to hell holes because had they committed truly awful crimes police would've taken them, legitimately.This is racial hatred, purification.
As an aside, Texas voted for Trump's Nazi ICE. Texas has the most undocumented immigrants. If ICE was so great they would be operating exclusively in Republican states. Republicans are at war with Democratic places (ICE destroys economies in Dem places). 2024: www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...
Fuck Texas Fuck maga Fuck trump
Uganda is much further away than Costa Rica. DOGE shits don't care about that waste of taxpayer money. The senile Nazi in the White House believes Garcia has MS13 tattooed on his fingers.
Senator, I live on 30 acres in Costa Rica. I have a gate on my property. I have a small guest home I'm willing to let him stay at while things get sorted back in the US. Feel free to have someone reach out to me.
He won’t say he’s guilty when he’s not and I respect that. Besides, who believes the orange pimple would keep his word? They’d just scream GUILTY and send him back to El Salvador
Thank you Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov for your courage and moral clarity in defending Abrego Garcia and the rest of us against this fascist regime’s cruel predators.
FREE KILMAR! “God is with us, and God will never leave us. God will bring justice to all of the injustice.” - Kilmar Ábrego García
Thank you Senator
Thanks for sticking with this. Please don’t stop fighting :)
Thank you! 💙
The courts need to recommend or refer for disbarment review any federal prosecutor who brings charges without credible evidence.
Hell we need to disbarred or dethrone six of the nine Supreme corrupt court " justices" who allowed this shit to.happen to begin with.
Consider signing. Pam Bondi & Ashley Moody corruption. Bondi & Moody's corrupt FL legacy qualified them for national office. www.change.org/p/pam-bondi-...
Thank you, Senator! This case is a test by the administration to see what we will tolerate. Thank you for showing them that we will not tolerate this!
Why Uganda? So that his family cannot ever even visit? The point is cruelty.
Well like all Democrats, you've been absolutely useless so far...amazing how much power you cowards hand to Republican presidents and how little power you think you have when a Democrat is president.
Thank you!
Thank you
Thank you for your consistent support and advocacy for basic human rights
When will they tattoo “MS13” on his knuckles to match their phony AI pictures?
If we can get MS 13 tattooed across Trump's hand, can we deport Trump, Miller, and " crusty" Noem to Iran. I am sure the leader of Iran would love to have a nice little chat with them and Pete Kegsheath
Sadly, Abrego-Garcia never had a chance. He’s just a pawn. If you all don’t stop this from happening, he’ll be lost to his family forever. He never received due process and for the life of me I don’t know why. Are there no people in this country willing to fight for him? Are you bending to fascism?
And he’s turned himself in. And our “government” let him.
