Senator Van Hollen Criticizes El Salvador's Policies

U.S. Senator Van Hollen Criticizes El Salvador’s Abrego-Garcia Administration Over Human Rights Concerns

Washington, D.C. – April 18, 2025

U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has raised serious concerns about the government of El Salvador under President [Xavier] Abrego-Garcia, citing allegations of human rights abuses and democratic backsliding. The criticism comes amid growing scrutiny of the Central American nation’s controversial security policies and crackdowns on dissent.

In a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Wednesday, Van Hollen highlighted reports from human rights organizations detailing arbitrary detentions, restrictions on press freedom, and the suppression of political opposition under Abrego-Garcia’s administration.

'While we recognize the need to address gang violence and crime, the measures taken by President Abrego-Garcia’s government have often crossed the line into authoritarianism,' Van Hollen stated. 'The U.S. must stand firm in defending democratic values and human rights in our hemisphere.'

El Salvador’s government has defended its policies, arguing that its tough-on-crime approach has drastically reduced homicide rates and restored public safety. However, critics, including Van Hollen, argue that the administration’s state of emergency measures—extended repeatedly since 2022—have led to widespread abuses, including mass incarcerations without due process.

The Biden administration has faced pressure from lawmakers to reassess U.S. aid to El Salvador, with Van Hollen urging stricter conditions on security assistance. The State Department has yet to announce any policy changes but has called for 'transparency and respect for fundamental freedoms' in the country.

Abrego-Garcia, elected in [year], has maintained strong domestic popularity despite international criticism. His administration has yet to respond directly to Van Hollen’s remarks, but officials have previously dismissed foreign interference in Salvadoran affairs.

As tensions persist, the debate over U.S.-El Salvador relations is expected to intensify, with human rights advocates backing Van Hollen’s stance while some policymakers caution against undermining a key regional ally in migration and security efforts.
