It sure is! Now that we know he is alive and well, there's no excuse not to obey the courts and bring him home ASAP!

All Krasnov has to do is give the word and van Hollen will fly to El Salvador and pick up Garcia.

to be a pawn between Bukele and Trump, essentially being used as a political prisoner.
