Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen says he has met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who immigration officials say was deported by error, in El Salvador on Thursday.

The senator shared a photo with Abrego Garcia at what appears to be a restaurant.

"I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar," Sen. Van Hollen said. "Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return."

He's confirmed alive, but that doesn't mean they haven't killed others, or that they won't reach that point as time goes on. The Nazis didn't start mass executions right away, but once you were in their camps, you probably weren't getting out alive.

He’s confirmed alive

Unless Van Hollen brought back fingerprints or a DNA sample, or the family got to talk to the guy on the phone and confirm it was him, I have to keep open the possibility that Bukele put in an imposter.

I mean you can believe whatever you want but that's verging into conspiracy theory stuff if you ask me.
