The Maryland senator said that Abrego Garcia reported he’d been moved from a notorious Salvadoran mega-prison, CECOT, to a detention center with better conditions.

Abrego Garcia’s status after Van Hollen left was not known, and there was no indication that Van Hollen’s trip pushed him any closer to release.

Is that Great Value purified drinking water? Label printed in English at a Salvadorean restaurant? Is that common?

You expect a corporation to want to spend money making labels in multiple languages.

There are six Walmart's in El Salvador. Why would a company that gets its employees to sign up for food stamps to offload their responsibilities onto the govt spend money on multi language labels?

as I mentioned why would Walmart be pressured to change labels.

The is from the Salvadoran Walmart website. https://www.walmart.com.sv/agua-purificada-great-value-15pack-500ml/p

I guess laws only apply to little people and little businesses, globally.
