As the Trump administration fights a Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia — the Maryland man with legal status who was deported to El Salvador — House Democrats are trying to bring attention to the standoff by showing up in El Salvador and demanding due process for Abrego Garcia.
Democratic Reps. Robert Garcia, Maxwell Frost, Yassamin Ansari and Maxine Dexter were all in El Salvador as of Monday demanding that Abrego Garcia be returned to the United States.
“While Donald Trump continues to defy the Supreme Court, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being held illegally in El Salvador after being wrongfully deported,” Garcia said in a statement. “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.”
