Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) is currently visiting El Salvador, passionately advocating for an illegal immigrant identified as an MS-13 gang member and human trafficker, declaring he “won’t stop fighting until he’s home.”
However, this “criminal illegal immigrant” is already, quite literally, home—he’s a citizen of El Salvador.
One might wonder where Senator Van Hollen’s compassion was when an innocent Maryland resident, Rachel Morin—a mother of five—was tragically murdered by an illegal immigrant. Van Hollen failed to reach out to her grieving family.
What about the senator’s silence when an accused murderer was allowed to roam free due to the so-called “sanctuary” policies of his state’s second-most populous county? Once again, Van Hollen chose not to voice his concerns regarding the radical policies that jeopardize the safety of his constituents.
And what of his concern for Maryland residents risked by the numerous illegal immigrants who have been permitted to remain free until now? Below is a brief overview of some criminal illegal immigrants recently apprehended by ICE in Maryland:
