Maryland governor says he won't travel to El Salvador for Abrego Garcia

"I'm not. Planning on having a good night tonight," Moore said in response, with a smile on his face and dressed in a black tuxedo for the White House Correspondents Dinner. 

"Governor, do you think Abrego Garcia should be sent back to the U.S.?" Fox Next Digital asked Moore again later. 

"Hi man, have a great night. Thank you," Moore said while ignoring the question, again with a smile on his face as he proceeded down a hallway. 

While Moore was silent on the El Salvador situation this weekend, he affirmed his support for his fellow Maryland Democrat on social media earlier this month. 

Moore's office confirmed the governor was not traveling to El Salvador when reached Tuesday by Fox News Digital.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to "facilitate" his return, but El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said Abrego Garcia has gang connections and that he would not release him to the United States.  

The deportation sparked outrage among Democrats, and several lawmakers joined Van Hollen in visiting El Salvador to advocate for Abrego Garcia, including Reps. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., and Robert Garcia, D-Calif.

Abrego Garcia is being held at a lower-security facility in El Salvador after being transferred from Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT), an El Salvador prison that federal officials sent hundreds of suspected criminals and gang members to in March.
