Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) was pressed on the status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was wrongly deported to El Salvador, during a heated exchange at a town hall he held Tuesday.
Grassley discussed numerous topics during the Iowa event, including farmers, tariffs and congressional Republicans’ planned reconciliation bill that would seek to cut spending, extend President Trump’s tax cuts and provide money for border security, among other initiatives. But he participated in a particularly tense back-and-forth when discussing the case of Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national.
“Are you going to bring that guy back from El Salvador?” one man asked Grassley, eliciting applause from others in attendance.
“Why not?” he followed up after the Iowa senator said he wouldn’t.

Grassley said it’s not a congressional power in case you wondered how he responded
The Leftys can eff off.
The MS-13 gang member was deported to his home country.
If the article contains this phrase, you can discard it.
Soros funded groups pay people to travel from all over the country to these town halls to make it appear like Republicans are facing “backlash” when in reality only far left whack jobs want a country where its overrun with gang banging murderers
Grassley is not in the executive branch.
Guess people there forgot what they learned in elementary school.
Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution: The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
Grassley is very accessible to constituents with very frequent public meetings usually with small turnouts. He knows when a group is pulling a stunt.
Stephen Miller said it best...”He’s from El Salvador. So we sent him back home as he was here illegally. It’s up El Salvador as to what to with him. These people chose to invade us. It’s our responsibility to return them back to where they came from”
The guy asking the questions sounded “special”.
If you’re a Republican, YOU ARE AN IDIOT, if you go to town halls and allow Kamala voters posing as “republicans” to sling crap at your face. Why do you need town halls anyway? They’re really dumb. Just send out flyers stating your positions on the issues.
I think Trump should admit his "mistake" and ask that this gentleman be released from the prison into the streets of El Salvador.
Did the administration admit that deporting (Kilmar Abrego Garcia) was in error?
What is this guy’s Story?
More propaganda.
“Wrongly”, “mistakenly”, “erroneously”, etc.
Reminds me when Bush was President and the Dems infiltrated all the town halls screaming about how the GOP was ending Social Security.
THAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER.
Just add that it was recently discovered that he was in the crowd at the Capitol on Jan 6. That will silence the left immediately!
Astroturfers are a bit unclear on the concept. Iowa is nowhere near Maryland.
