0:00.0 | The Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen, who recently flew to El Salvador, demanding that the president of El Salvador reversed Trump foreign policy and let go a man who has been found by two judges to be a member of MS-13 who had a deportation order that was later upheld by an appellate court. |
0:18.7 | This man was rightfully, rightfully deported. |
0:21.8 | By going down and arguing against Trump's foreign policy and negotiating with a president |
0:28.9 | or administration from another country, this is a violation of the Logan Act. |
