Democrat Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland has been joined by other members of Congress from his party in making trips to El Salvador in attempts to visit with a deported illegal alien gang member. Their goal is to bring him back to the United States because he's a "Maryland dad" who did nothing wrong and was unjustly sent away -- at least that's the Left and media's preferred narrative.
Certain aspects of the story, including Garcia's documented gang membership and allegations of domestic abuse, are being ignored in order to focus on the "due process" aspect. As for the MS-13 membership, Van Hollen denies that to be the case:

The Dems learned absolutely nothing from the November election, and that's good news for the Republicans moving forward.
Meanwhile, a county sheriff in Van Hollen's state has blasted the senator and other Democrats. He also took a blowtorch to their claims that Garcia isn't MS-13. Watch:
Harford County, Maryland Sheriff Jeff Gahler: "It's absolutely appalling that this is where @ChrisVanHollen and many Democrats... want to focus their efforts... I 100% believe — 1000% believe him to be an MS-13 member... this is an individual who should NOT be in our country." pic.twitter.com/C9Z4to4fvy

BINGO! Well said.
Thank you, Sheriff Gahler! It is absolutely appalling! 💔😔

Absolutely correct, Sheriff. Why aren’t these Democrats, trying to free American Citizens, imprisoned in Argentina?….crickets

These Dems do have their "priorities."
