After Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland visited El Salvador last week, a group of four Democratic House representatives organized another visit there this week to continue raising awareness of Kilmar Ábrego García’s case and demand his safe return to the United States.

Ábrego García’s case has garnered national attention after the Trump administration admitted his deportation was due to an “administrative error” (a U.S. immigration judge prohibited his deportation back in 2019, at which point DHS awarded him legal status). Democratic lawmakers are focusing on Ábrego García’s case to call attention to the Trump administration’s disregard for due process, U.S. law, and judicial oversight, stating concern for the fate of American democracy.

It is crucial to remember that Ábrego García is not the only person the government has illegally deported to the Salvadoran facility. There are over 200 other refugees and immigrants accused of gang activity without due process. All of it in violation of the Supreme Court prohibiting their deportation.
