Border czar Tom Homan told Newsmax on Thursday that he's "disgusted" by the behavior of Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who flew to El Salvador on Wednesday in an attempt to bring illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the United States.
"I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia," the senator posted on X.
"I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home."
Homan said during an appearance on "Rob Schmitt Tonight," "I'm disgusted that he would go over there and try to coddle an MS-13 gang member, which is now a designated terrorist organization. He's an illegal alien with a deportation order and an MS-13 gang member, and he's going to go try to rescue him."
In March, Abrego Garcia was arrested in Maryland and deported from the United States following what the administration said was an administrative error.
Homan noted that Van Hollen voted against the Laken Riley Act when given a chance to protect Americans from criminal illegal immigrants.
"I mean, it just can't make this up. I mean, I cannot believe we're in a place we're at right now. He's disgusting," Homan added.
