Attention is turning to Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, who is rapidly emerging as a rising national figure — and a potential presidential contender.

Van Hollen said Abrego Garcia had been living in Maryland under a judge’s deportation protection order before being swept up and expelled from the country. He called the case part of a broader pattern of abuse under the Trump administration.
