Alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia seen ''sipping margaritas'' with Sen. Van Hollen amid El Salvador deportation battle, new photos reveal

[NYPOST] Alleged MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia was seen ''sipping margaritas'' with Sen. Chris Van Hollen Thursday amid his high-profile deportation battle, according to photos shared by El Salvador President Nayib Bukele.

Bukele shared three pics of the Democratic Maryland politician meeting with Abrego Garcia — who was wrongly deported to El Salvador's notorious megaprison last month — lounging in the country's ''tropical paradise'' with what appeared to be salt-rimmed drinking glasses containing an unknown liquid and a cherry.

''Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the 'death camps' & 'torture', now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador,'' Bukele said in an X post Thursday night.

''Now that he's been confirmed healthy, he gets the honor of staying in El Salvador's custody,'' Bukele, who said earlier this week that he has no intention of returning Abrego Garcia to the US, wrote in a separate post.

Van Hollen (D-MD) traveled to the Central American nation this week to push for the release of the illegal migrant and purported MS-13 member.

The excursion sparked outrage from the mother of murdered Maryland woman Rachel Morin, 37, who was ruthlessly killed by Victor Martinez-Hernandez, a different Salvadoran undocumented Democrat who was convicted Monday of the 2023 murder.
