The administration admitted in court papers Abrego Garcia was sent to El Salvador — along with hundreds of other Salvadoran and Venezuelan migrants — due to an "administrative error."

Abrego Garcia, 29, was born in El Salvador but entered the United States illegally in 2011 at the age of 16.

Van Hollen's meeting with Abrego Garcia came after the senator was turned away Thursday at a military checkpoint near CECOT.

Van Hollen left for El Salvador on Wednesday, intending to check on Abrego Garcia's well-being. »
