Sen. Chris Van Hollen meets with Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador; the senator later denied drinking from the glasses seen on the table, calling the photo a staged attempt to mislead the public during what has become known as "margarita-gate." (@nayibbukele via X)
OREGON LAWMAKER LATEST DEMOCRAT TO VISIT EL SALVADOR FOR DEPORTED ILLEGAL MIGRANT ABREGO GARCIA
"Hey [Sen. Van Hollen], I went ahead and changed your office plaque for you," Collins wrote.
Collins has repeatedly criticized Van Hollen for traveling to El Salvador to meet with accused MS-13 member and illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego-Garcia. In another post on X, Collins slammed Van Hollen as "traitorous."
Additionally, when Van Hollen first announced his trip to El Salvador, Collins responded by saying, "If you’re going to advocate harder for illegal gang members than you do American citizens, don’t come back."
Abrego-Garcia’s deportation sparked an uproar among Democrats, many of whom say that the El Salvadorian national was a hard-working Maryland resident whose right to due process was violated.

This past week, President Donald Trump hosted Angel Mom Patty Morin, a Maryland resident, at the White House. Morin’s daughter, Rachel, was beaten, raped and killed in Maryland by an illegal migrant from El Salvador in 2023. Patty Morin claims Van Hollen never contacted her after Rachel’s murder.
