Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., traveled to El Salvador on Wednesday in hopes of meeting with Abrego Garcia in person while pressing government officials to release him from prison.
Very likely. MS-13 accusations are taken very seriously in the Northern Triangle. Many people have horrific stories about them and I’ve had friends I went to school with end up joining them as teenagers. I doubt he was ordered to be killed, but I do believe that the guards fucked him up bad. They’re the only ones who can actually do shit at CECOT because the prisoners are heavily monitored and given nothing that could be seen as a weapon like utensils.
I don’t even think it’s this. They get off on brutality. They’ll just stick with the story that he deserved it because he was a gang member. The Israelis have already demonstrated how far you can go by calling any journalist, paramedic, or child you murder a militant, against overwhelming evidence. This would be deeply shocking to the “it can’t happen here” libs, but it will not fracture the fascist political base. They enjoy it when the libs are pulling their hair out.
If they fold on Abrego Garcia, their power is checked. If they stand their ground, they solidify their power to use the vast federal “law enforcement” apparatus to arbitrarily issue death sentences without a trial. This is ultimately what they are after.

I don’t think they’ll let him return even if he was alive. They don’t want him to tell him to speak to the press.
