House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer slammed Democrats for requesting taxpayer-funded travel to El Salvador to visit a deported illegal alien with alleged ties to the MS-13 gang.
In a letter shared on X, Comer informed Democratic Reps. Robert Garcia of California and Maxwell Alejandro Frost of Florida that if they wish to meet with Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia in El Salvador, they’ll have to pay for the trip themselves.
He wrote:
It is absurd that you both displayed active hostility for over two years toward the Committee’s oversight of the Biden Border Crisis and the consequences of millions of illegal aliens entering the country, yet now, you are seeking travel at Committee expense to meet with foreign gang members.
You may be pleased to know that a Democrat Senator, Chris Van Hollen, was photographed just yesterday in El Salvador enjoying margaritas garnished with cherry slices with the foreign gang member your letter references.
If you also wish to meet with him, you can spend your own money. But I will not approve a single dime of taxpayer funds for use on the excursion you have requested.
The request came less than 24 hours after Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador to meet with Abrego Garcia and lobby for his return to the United States.

wait for it - a lawsuit is coming in 3-2-1...
Not one dime of American Tax Payer $$$ towards any travel for these criminal invader supporters!
Hey Dems: Put your money where your mouth is!
Some lefty judge will say “we don’t need no steenking lawsuit!”
Ask Why
Why do Democrats need MS-13 so badly?
What is the connection?
They’re so stupid: boys and girls, this is not the sob story poster boy you’re looking for, and the media can’t convert Maryland Man into a sympathetic figure; it’s too have a lift for this wife beater gang banger. . There’ll be other sob stories. Don’t be so lazy - go find one
or a judge demanding they be paid
Love it
(Oh, by the way: Pammy dear, where the hell are the Epstein files you promised to release several months ago, huh?)
The Democrats may be short a lot of things, but gall isn’t one of them.
Party on your own time.
They should be in DC working. But then again, it might be a good thing they aren’t “working.”
“Bu..buh...but...it’s ALL our money!!!”
Fair enough.....
They can cajole boss hogg for the greenbacks.
So now we are going to get the obscene spectacle of a parade of rats with the slobbering MSM in tow headed down to visit the “Maryland Father”. ugh I just despise these wretched people.
My thoughts exactly.
That would require 100 years. Numbers don't lie. Use the math to show the intent.
What democrats need to do to prevent Trump from deporting MS-13 and Tren De Aragua members is to...
Put a democrat guard or a democrat congress-member in each of the gang members’ homes and to block ICE from arresting them and deporting them. But, they have to use their own money for the guarding of the gang members.
So, if the democrats want those people to not be deported, they need to be proactive and then keep those future democrats ‘safe’ from the arm of the law. That way they won’t have to ask that their future trips to the gang members’ home countries be funded.
Garcia is just plain awful. He was a do-nothing mayor of Long Beach before he graduated to the next level of grift, the Congress.
As mayor, he reportedly ordered the police to stand down in 2020 as the anarchists burned down part of the city.
He was a darling of the left due to his gay ‘marriage’ but thoroughly incompetent otherwise.
