A diplomatic dispute has arisen between the United States and El Salvador over Kilmar Abrego Garcia, with El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele refusing to extradite him back to the U.S., drawing attention from U.S. lawmakers. Senator Chris Van Hollen has actively engaged with El Salvador's ambassador and expressed his willingness to travel to El Salvador if the situation is not resolved, gaining support from other Democratic lawmakers. The case has also exposed tensions within the U.S. government, with criticism directed at the Trump administration for its handling of the matter, and a federal court hearing in Maryland is anticipated to address the legal and diplomatic ramifications.
