Four More Democrats Travel to El Salvador to ‘Pressure Trump Administration’ to Return Illegal Migrant

Four more Democrat lawmakers have traveled to El Salvador to advocate for the return of accused MS-13 gang member and alleged wife-beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia, following in the footsteps of Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD).

Reps. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ), Maxine Dexter (D-OR), Maxwell Frost (D-FL), and Robert Garcia (D-CA) — who is formerly an illegal immigrant himself — touched down in the Latin American country on Monday “to pressure the Trump Administration to abide by a Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia,” a press release announced.

Referring to the Salvadoran national as a “Maryland man” despite his having entered the country illegally over a decade ago, the statement from Ansari’s office went on to say that the House members will “also advocate for other detainees who are being held without due process.”
