Senator Van Hollen, what about the hostages in Gaza?

The media campaign to make a verified MS-13 gang member a martyr, reimaging him as an innocent "Maryland father" wrongly identified and sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador, highlights the moral depravity of the Left. Back in 2012, Kilmar Ábrego García entered the United States illegally. In 2019, he was identified as a member of MS-13 by an anti-gang squad. While the media is painting the Trump administration as the chief villain in this manufactured saga, both an immigration judge and an appellate immigration judge agreed to his deportation. The Trump administration has made it clear: if you are a foreign student on Columbia's campus organizing rallies in the name of Hamas, or if you pose a threat to U.S. security as a member of MS-13, you forfeit the privilege of living in America. This concept has been lost on the political Left, who not only disagree with this common-sense policy but have also manufactured outrage for these violent offenders and radical ideologies. So, what did Sen. Van Hollen have to say about the hostages in Gaza? Back in 2023, he did condemn the atrocities of October 7th, but subsequently adopted language similar to the Biden Administration, which pushed for a ceasefire (something Hamas proved incapable of upholding). In an interview in March of 2024 on Face the Nation, he insisted that claims UNRWA has ties to Hamas are unfounded lies. Despite evidence to support the contrary, his claim did not age well. In October of 2024, 9 UNRWA employees were fired for participating in the October 7th massacre.
