Van Hollen Goes Full Open-Borders

Tense Moments as Noem Destroys Van Hollen’s MS-13 Defense in Real Time

Senator Chris Van Hollen just did the unthinkable—he showed up to a Senate hearing at Appropriations Committee ready to fight for a convicted human smuggler linked to MS-13. His prize pick? Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a non-citizen who’s already been legally deported twice and has two removal orders stamped by U.S. judges.

In a desperate attempt to look righteous, Van Hollen ended up defending a criminal and getting steamrolled by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem—and yes, we’ll include the full video so you can watch the trainwreck yourself.

Van Hollen strutted into the hearing with a dramatic line of questioning, demanding to know if DHS was “facilitating” the return of Abrego Garcia to the U.S. under a recent 9–0 Supreme Court ruling. What he failed to mention?

The Court didn’t say we must bring the guy back—only that if El Salvador chooses to send him here, we’re obligated to offer basic logistical support. But El Salvador already said no. In other words, Van Hollen is mad that Kristi Noem won’t deliver on something that isn’t even happening.



Democrats like Van Hollen will bend over backward for criminals.
