    Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) traveled to El Salvador on Wednesday, but officials refused to let him visit an erroneously deported Maryland man who the Supreme Court has ordered returned to the United States.

    Because he’s dead

    Ramirez, in a letter to House Homeland Security Committee chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) first obtained by Axios, requested he authorize an official CODEL to El Salvador.

    Given that the Administration’s use of CECOT for illegal and unconstitutional deportations is rife with ‘administrative errors’ … I urgently request a CODEL to conduct oversight," she wrote.

    The song Hotel California comes to mind here.

    Reps. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) and Riley Moore (R-W.Va.) both shared photos of themselves at the notorious maximum security prison on Wednesday in posts on X praising the administration’s deportation policies.

    I can’t even…WTF

      Suddenly they go “missing” too. Looks like they “fled” the country and totally didn’t join the pile of red goo visible from Google Earth
