The House members are Reps. Robert Garcia, of California; Maxwell Frost, of Florida; Maxine Dexter, of Oregon; and Yassamin Ansari, of Arizona.
Four House Democrats have traveled to El Salvador to, in the words of one member, remind Americans that Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, an El Salvadoran migrant who had been living in Maryland, was wrongfully deported to his home country.
“While Donald Trump continues to defy the Supreme Court, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being held illegally in El Salvador after being wrongfully deported,” said California Rep. Robert Garcia, one of the four. “That is why we’re here – to remind the American people that kidnapping immigrants and deporting them without due process is not how we do things in America.”
The other three making the trip and who arrived Monday are Reps. Maxwell Frost, of Florida; Maxine Dexter, of Oregon; and Yassamin Ansari, of Arizona, according to The New York Times.
They follow Maryland Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen's visit late last week to El Salvador, where he got to talk with Abrego Garcia.
Abrego Garcia came to the U.S. illegally and was subject to possible deportation. But in 2019, an immigration judge granted him a withholding of removal order, issued over concerns he would be persecuted if he returned to his country of origin.
The Trump administration has argued Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang and said he was mistakenly deported.
Top White House aide Stephen Miller last week said Abrego Garcia was not mistakenly deported and blamed an attorney from the Department of Justice for claiming he was.
P
Hopefully any return flights can be cancelled
Yassamin Ansari? What the flock happened to my former home state?
I can’t believe the Democrats want to make this guy the poster boy, for their criticism of Trump’s deporting illegals..
Yet , it seems like a parade of Democrats want to make this pilgrimage to El Salvador, to make their political statement.....
Their ‘favorite Gang Member’ is not even at that same jail anymore. He has been transferred elsewhere.
Hopefully, a very distant prison, surrounded by gator filled swamps and (shock!) not a McDonald’s or 711 in sight!
These people are extremely stupid................
The Speaker of the House needs to warn El Salvador that little Bobby Garcia, (D-Peru) is a dangerous character he believes in carrying firearms to “barfights” like Congress, so they need to check him real close. Make sure he doesn’t get alone with Albrago. Garcia is a homosexual who is now divorced and could be looking for a new squeeze.
Yes. Pull their visas and make them walk to “El Norte” to get home!
Keep writing that narrative for the mids in 26. WHile these twits may be safe, others may not. They are Democrats, run against them on the democratic party record.
DemonRATS! Putting illegal alien wife beaters and gangbangers first!!!
“While Donald Trump continues to defy the Supreme Court, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being held illegally in El Salvador”
FU Disney.
No he wasn't.
Just remember, no matter how much you hate the democrats it is never enough.
It’s been said that Gitmo could be an ideal spot for illegals. But that still wouldn’t stop the idiots like Van Hollen et al from crying and complaining.
Who is paying for it ?
Black Americans should get the message loud and clear they are at rock bottom priority. Democrats have replaced them they need new plantation residents.
this is delay delay delay
delay all deports til they get back in power
