Sen. Chris Van Hollen told President Donald Trump that it’s up to him to return a Maryland man wrongfully deported last March, according to a letter the senator sent to the White House on Tuesday. The Maryland Democrat detailed for Trump what Vice President Féliz Ulloa said when the men met earlier this month in El Salvador to discuss Abrego Garcia’s release.

Weeks after the Trump administration seized Kilmar Abrego Garciain Prince George’s County, stashed him in a Salvadoran prison and flouted courts ordering his return, it was Maryland’s genteel senator who grabbed the world by the collar to demand its attention. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, an understated, polite Capitol Hill veteran, is more likely to file a banking bill in the Senate finance committee than he is to wedge himself between an authoritarian dictator and a belligerent American president.

Sleep deprived but glad to be back home in the United States, Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen revealed new details about his government-monitored conversation with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and circumstances that brought about their meeting. He was just about to catch a plane back to the U.S. when members of the Salvadoran government reached out to him through the American embassy. They offered him a meeting, after initially denying him, and brought Abrego Garcia to the senator’s hotel.

The vice president of El Salvador denied Sen. Chris Van Hollen a face-to-face visit with a Maryland man wrongly deported last month by the Trump administration’s sweeping deportation efforts, saying he should have given the country more advance notice. When Van Hollen then asked Vice President Félix Ulloa if he came back to the country next week would the government facilitate a visit with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland senior senator said he was told no.
