Democrats Plan El Salvador Trip Seeking Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s Release..

Democratic lawmakers say if a wrongly deported man sent to a supermax prison in El Salvador isn’t brought back to the United States, they will visit the Central American country, adding further pressure on the Trump administration for his release.

Democrats Plan El Salvador Trip Seeking Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s ReleasePresident Donald Trump met with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele in the Oval Office on April 14, where he praised the foreign leader for opening his country’s notorious prison system to alleged gang members and detainees some U.S. officials want out of the country.

Bukele told reporters he does not have the power to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a sheet metal worker who lived in Maryland and was allowed to remain in the country by a federal judge’s protective order after entering the United States illegally in 2011.

Abrego Garcia, a father of three, has become a centerpiece of the Trump administration’s clampdown on illegal immigration after Department of Justice officials acknowledged that he should not have been sent to El Salvador.
