Van Hollen States That Trump is Reportedly Paying El Salvador to Imprison Deported Man at CECOT

These shorts constitute sufficient information for Judge Xinis to see that the govt is lying, and Rubio's State Dept has not conveyed anything through its embassy in El Salvador.

Update 8: On Apr. 12, the government submitted a declaration stating only that “Abrego Garcia is currently being held in the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador. He is alive and secure in that facility. He is detained pursuant to the sovereign, domestic authority of El Salvador.”

Earlier that day Plaintiffs submitted a motion for additional relief including expedited discovery.

Update 9: On Apr. 13, the Defendants provided a daily status report, which included no information on efforts to obtain his release from custody in El Salvador.
The Defendants also submitted a motion opposing the Plaintiffs’ Apr. 12 motion for additional relief.
The motion also stated, “Defendants understand ‘facilitate’ to mean … actions allowing an alien to enter the United States … best read as taking all available steps to remove any domestic obstacles that would otherwise impede the alien’s ability to return here” (emphasis in original).

Glad I found it, too, since I've been so busy all day.

Not trying to disparage you for posting it, I promise!!


Sorry I'm just referring to the part where he's paying them to hold them. Not the press conference itself. All great information.
