Sen. Van Hollen: ‘I’m Always Glad to Stand Up’ for People Like Kilmar Abrego Garcia

EXCERPT:

CABRERA: “Senator, what's your response to those names that they called you and do you have any regrets at all about meeting with Abrago Garcia?”
VAN HOLLEN: “Oh, I have no regret, Ana, about defending the Constitution of the United States. And those statements come from individuals who have no respect for due process or the Constitution of the United States. The president and his cronies have shown time and again that they're willing to ignore and sacrifice people's constitutional rights to impose their political views on the country. They're doing this across the board. They're abusing their power by bringing these lawsuits against universities and colleges, cracking down on First Amendment rights. So what we have is a lawless president and a lawless administration. And now, finally, we have Abrago Garcia able to be in a court of law, which is all that I have asked for from the beginning, and we have an administration -- and you just heard from them -- they said they weren't going to bring him back to allow him to have due process. They've had to do that in response to the court's decision and 9-0 Supreme Court decision, we don't see those very often. So, I am always glad to stand up for people's constitutional rights. And that's what we're doing in this case.”
