F or the past month, Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland has been thrust into an international standoff as he tries to secure the return of a Salvadoran national who had been living in Maryland when the Trump Administration mistakenly sent him to prison in El Salvador.

A Maryland judge denied the Trump administration's motion to delay discovery in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia deportation case again Wednesday.

Trump admitted in an interview on Tuesday that he could get the Maryland father back with a single phone call.
