House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has remained firm in his support for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a deported alleged MS-13 member. During a lengthy livestream event, Jeffries praised various Democratic leaders for their advocacy against Garcia's detention in El Salvador. Although he faced questions about whether supporting Garcia was a mistake, he deflected and emphasized the need for Congress to challenge the administration on this issue. Private discussions suggest some caution among Democrats regarding the rallying around Garcia, but Jeffries's office firmly maintains their commitment to his cause.
"Our reaction is that Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any president in modern American history," Jeffries stated, highlighting the political strategy behind their actions.
Jeffries praised Sen. Chris Van Hollen's meeting with Garcia, calling it "exactly the type of action that, as members of Congress, we can do to highlight the injustice."
