The Maryland senator said that Abrego Garcia reported he’d been moved from a notorious Salvadoran mega-prison, CECOT, to a detention center with better conditions.

Abrego Garcia’s status after Van Hollen left was not known, and there was no indication that Van Hollen’s trip pushed him any closer to release.

That would seem badass until it invites a political sovereignty grievance. The US throws its weight around quite enough, and we absolutely meddle in other nations’ affairs for less justified reasons, but release of a citizen from the custody of a sovereign state is always negotiated, not forced, to ensure there’s always incentive to maintain the captive’s health the next time around.
