Several congressional Democrats are advocating for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a deportee and alleged MS-13 member, from El Salvador. Sen. Chris Van Hollen remains in the country after Salvadoran officials rejected his requests for Garcia's release, while other lawmakers plan to visit.
Democrats argue that Garcia's deportation violates constitutional rights, with Rep. Yassamin Ansari stating it reflects a broader issue of authoritarianism. Meanwhile, Republicans criticize the push to bring Garcia back, emphasizing concerns over public safety.
