Garcia moved from CECOT

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen says Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongly deported, told him he has been moved from the notorious Salvadoran prison known as CECOT to a detention center with better conditions.

Van Hollen says the Salvadoran man told him in a meeting Thursday that he had shared a cell with 25 prisoners and was fearful of many of them.

For now? And there are other Venezuelans who never got due process and who are reportedly not criminals we sent there. What about them?

Kilmar Ábrego García, mistakenly deported from the U.S., was moved from CECOT to a detention center in Santa Ana, El Salvador.

Ábrego García said his prison cell at CECOT had about 25 prisoners, and he was not afraid of them.

He told Van Hollen he was fearful of prisoners in other cell blocks, who taunted him. Most cells were packed with about 100 people, Ábrego García estimated.

Van Hollen and Ábrego García met at the senator's hotel. The Salvadoran government initially wanted to hold the meeting with the hotel's pools in the background.
