Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) criticized fellow Maryland lawmaker Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) for traveling to El Salvador to advocate the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national deported from the United States on March 15.

“I don’t know what the senator is doing, but he shouldn’t be spending taxpayer dollars on citizens of El Salvador when we have so many taxpaying Americans here at home,” Harris said on the Todd Starnes Show on Wednesday, adding that Americans are struggling with inflation and rising gas prices.
