Chris Van Hollen: “The judiciary is a co-equal branch of government, just like Congress and the presidency.”

While today’s hearing did not proceed, the Trump Administration continues to desperately try and ship Kilmar Ábrego Garcia to a faraway country and deny him of his constitutional due process rights.

We must not forget that a federal judge has already made clear what we have long known: the Trump Administration’s Department of Justice is engaged in a vindictive prosecution against Kilmar.

It is unacceptable that Amb. Huckabee and his staff continue to cover up and block access to essential information about these killings.

We ask that you pause any use of the SMART tool until we can better understand your decision-making, rollout process, and evaluation plan.
