Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen from Maryland wrote to El Salvadoran diplomats to "urgently request" meeting with the country's president, Nayib Bukele, to discuss the potential return of a former Maryland resident, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported to the Central American nation by the Trump administration.

A federal judge ruled Garcia should be returned to the U.S., a decision that was unanimously upheld by the Supreme Court last week.
"If Kilmar is not home by midweek — I plan to travel to El Salvador this week to check on his condition and discuss his release," Van Hollen wrote in a letter address to El Salvador's ambassador to Washington.
El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele said during a Monday Oval Office meeting that he did not intend to return Kilmar to the U.S.
