Four More House Dems Try to Visit MS-13 Member in El Salvador, It Doesn’t Go Well [WATCH]

Four House Democrats arrived in El Salvador this week to protest the recent deportation of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who had been living in Maryland before being removed from the United States.

The visit comes amid continued tensions over the Trump administration’s expanded immigration enforcement policies, including the deportation of individuals designated as affiliated with foreign criminal organizations.

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), one of the four House members who traveled to El Salvador, said the visit was intended to bring attention to what he called the “wrongful deportation” of Abrego Garcia.

“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.

“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.”

I’m in El Salvador because Trump is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court decision to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back home.

The other Democratic lawmakers on the trip include Reps. Maxwell Frost (D-FL), Maxine Dexter (D-OR), and Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ), according to The New York Times.

Their visit follows a similar trip last week by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), who also met with Abrego Garcia while in the country.

Abrego Garcia originally entered the U.S. illegally and was placed in removal proceedings.

In 2019, an immigration judge granted him a withholding of removal order based on concerns that he could face persecution if returned to El Salvador.

However, under President Donald Trump’s renewed immigration enforcement orders, Abrego Garcia was deported earlier this year.

The Trump administration has stated that Abrego Garcia is a confirmed member of the violent MS-13 gang and was prioritized for removal due to national security concerns.

This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back to the United States, because he is such “a fine and innocent person.” They said he is not a member of MS-13, even though he’s got MS-13 tattooed onto his knuckles, and two Highly Respected Courts found… pic.twitter.com/31sNr2k1SK

Administration officials have pointed to gang-related evidence and public safety risks as justification for the deportation.

Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, said last week that Abrego Garcia’s removal was lawful and deliberate.

“Abrego Garcia was not mistakenly deported,” Miller said. “A DOJ attorney mischaracterized the case, and that error was corrected. The claim that this was an accident is completely false.”

🚨 BOOM! Top Trump advisor Stephen Miller just went BERSERK for 3 minutes straight on Fox over the media narrative that Trump must bring home Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador.

Miller perfectly debunked this ENTIRE claim that Garcia’s deportation was an “error.” This entire… pic.twitter.com/TfGa1VjvpS

Abrego Garcia’s immigration case has become a flashpoint in the debate over the use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which President Trump invoked earlier this year to accelerate the removal of individuals affiliated with designated foreign terrorist organizations, including MS-13.

The law has been cited in multiple deportation actions tied to public safety concerns.

According to court records, Abrego Garcia has been previously arrested in the U.S. and was flagged by the Department of Homeland Security due to suspected gang activity.

The administration has released photographs that it says show gang-affiliated tattoos linked to MS-13.

Democratic lawmakers have argued that even individuals with alleged gang affiliations are entitled to full due process and legal protections before being removed from the country.

The visit by House Democrats is likely to draw further political attention as the administration continues to defend its immigration enforcement actions.

President Trump has stated that the policy aims to remove violent offenders and restore order to a system that has, according to his administration, been exploited for years.

The White House has not issued a new statement in response to the latest congressional delegation’s trip but has maintained that its immigration enforcement efforts are in line with federal law and necessary for public safety.

Their trip did not go as planned…

OMG.

This is glorious. El Salvador just DENIED the 4 House Democrats’ request to meet with Kilmar Garcia!

“Our request has been denied.”

And the reason? Because it’s *not* an “official” trip… not taxpayer funded. Rep. James Comer (R) denied that.

😂😂

Sen. Chris Van Hollen…

El Salvador denied the request of the four Democrat Reps to see the MS-13 gang member. LOL

Just imagine if these reps put this much energy into fighting for hurricane and fire victims and homeless veterans…. pic.twitter.com/bTCV980FmH
