Democratic lawmakers led by Sen. Chris Van Hollen say they are willing to go to El Salvador to seek the release of a man who the Justice Department says it mistakenly deported there — a plan that has gained steam after the country’s president said during a visit to the White House that he would not send the man back to the U.S.

    I see three possible reasons:

    • He’s dead

    • El Salvador and the US don’t want anyone to speak about what’s going on in the prison

    • Trump wants to use this as a test. If he can get away with this, he can get away with sending most anyone.
