Four House Democrats traveled to El Salvador on Monday to pressure President Nayib Bukele and the Trump administration to release Kilmar \u00c1brego Garc\u00eda, a Maryland resident who was deported last month despite a federal court order barring his removal.<\/p>\n
After being denied access to \u00c1brego Garc\u00eda during their visit, the lawmakers escalated their demands, calling on the Trump administration to provide \u201cdaily proof of life,\u201d ensure access to legal counsel, and facilitate his immediate release, Time\u00a0reported<\/p>\n
\u201cSince we were not able to get the answers we need today from the embassy, we have written a letter just as of 30 minutes ago to Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanding daily proof of life for Mr. \u00c1brego Garc\u00eda,\u201d said Rep. Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, one of the House Democrats who went to El Salvador. \u201cAnd of course, finally, demanding his safe return home.\u201d<\/p>\n
The delegation, comprised of Reps. Robert Garcia of California, Maxwell Frost of Florida, Maxine Dexter of Oregon, and Ansari, marks the latest Democratic effort to spotlight Kilmar \u00c1brego Garc\u00eda\u2019s case, which some legal scholars warn has pushed the U.S. toward a constitutional crisis.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court ordered the federal government to \u201cfacilitate\u201d \u00c1brego Garc\u00eda\u2019s return to the United States, but stopped short of demanding that the Trump administration actually return the MS-13 suspect. The White House has repeatedly argued that federal courts have no jurisdiction or authority to interfere with a president\u2019s conduct of foreign policy or use of the Alien Enemies Act to quickly deport members of gangs that President Trump has designated as terrorist groups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
