Four Democrats in the House were to land in Salvador on Monday to demand the release and the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvado -ian citizen who lived in Maryland and was expelled by the administration to a Salvador prison because of the Trump administration is an “administrative error”.
The group – Representative Robert Garcia, D -Calif., Rep. Maxwell Frost, d-Fla., Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., And the representative Maxine Dexter, D-ear. – said in a statement that they hope to “put pressure on” the White House “to respect an order from the Supreme Court”.
“While Donald Trump continues to challenge the Supreme Court, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is illegally detained in Salvador after being wrong,” said representative Garcia. “This is why we are here – to remind the American people that kidnapping immigrants and expeling them without regular procedure is not the way we do things in America.”
The Trump administration refused to bring back Abrego Garcia despite an order from the Supreme Court to “facilitate” its return – and receives bipartite criticisms for this. The Salvadoral citizen has entered the country illegally; An immigration judge said that he should not be expelled in Salvador because Greo Garcia was able to prove that he was likely to undergo persecution in his country of origin. The Trump administration says it expelled him because he was a member of MS-13; His lawyers deny that Garcia Garcia belongs to the gang.
The White House said that she could not force the Salvadoran government to release one of its citizens, while the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, described the idea of the liberation of Abrego Garcia “absurd”.
On Thursday, a federal court rejected the appeal by the Trump administration of the Return of the Court.
Last week, the Garcia and Frost representatives asked for travel funds from the congress and security for the trip to Salvador. Representative James Comer, the Kentucky Republican who chairs the government’s surveillance and reform surveillance committee, rejected the request. Representative Mark Green, the Republican of Tennessee who chairs the House’s internal security committee, said on Thursday that he would also refuse such a request.
The group’s visit to Salvador is not a code trip funded by taxpayers.
The journey of the Democrats of the Chamber intervenes after a long and bipartisan series of visits to Salvador by representatives of the United States government. From the beginning of February, Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited the residence of Salvadoral President Bukele. In March, the secretary of the Ministry of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, met Bukele and visited Cecot. And in April, representative Riley Moore, RW. Go., Also returned to the mega-prison. Senator Chris Van Hollen, the Maryland Democrat, met Abrego Garcia last week.
