Original Note:
Rep. Comer’s claim that Senator Van Hollen and Kilmar Abrego Garcia were photographed drinking margaritas is false. A aide of President Bukele was seen placing the two glasses on the table in front of them in the middle of their meeting in an attempt to stage the photo. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/us/politics/senator-chris-van-hollen-el-salvador-prison.html https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/senator-says-bukele-staged-margarita-photoop-with-detained-u-s-migrant-b6f186fe https://news.sky.com/story/amp/democrat-senator-chris-van-hollen-who-met-wrongly-deported-man-kilmar-abrego-garcia-says-photos-of-pair-with-margaritas-are-staged-13351466
