Four House Democrats visited El Salvador to advocate for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident recently deported despite a court order. After being denied access to him, they insisted on daily proof of life and his safe return. This case is seen by some legal experts as near a constitutional crisis, given the Supreme Court's directive for his return, which the Trump administration dismisses as outside their jurisdiction. The lawmakers are escalating their demands following other efforts, including a recent visit by Senator Chris Van Hollen who described Abrego Garcia's traumatic experience.
Rep. Yassamin Ansari demanded daily proof of life for Mr. Abrego Garcia, asserting the situation is unacceptable and calling for his safe return home.
The case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia has raised concerns among legal scholars, suggesting it pushes the U.S. toward a potential constitutional crisis.
Despite a Supreme Court order for Abrego Garcia's return, the Trump administration has refrained from acting, claiming a lack of jurisdiction.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen's brief meeting with Abrego Garcia revealed his traumatized state, highlighting the urgent need for intervention.
