More Democrats are now planning on heading to El Salvador after Senator Chris Van Hollen said he was going to show solidarity with a terrorist MS-13 gangbanger.

Cory Booker is another Senator who is going, and some House Dems have asked for approval from Oversight Committee chair James Comer for an official congressional delegation.

Here’s more from Axios:

Two members of House Democratic leadership are trying to send an official congressional delegation to the El Salvadorian prison where the Trump administration is sending deportees, Axios has learned.

Dozens of House Democrats have privately expressed interest in participating in such a trip to protest the Trump administration’s deportation policies, sources tell Axios.

But while lawmakers could travel to the Central American country informally, a Republican committee chair’s approval is needed to send an official congressional delegation, or CODEL.

A CODEL would provide the members with crucial oversight powers and security resources.

Driving the news: Reps. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) and Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) asked House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-Ky.), in a letter first obtained by Axios, to authorize a CODEL to El Salvador.

The letter comes after Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) requested a meeting with El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele to discuss the return of Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident.

Van Hollen said he plans to travel to El Salvador this week if Abrego Garcia is not sent back to the U.S. — which Bukele and Trump have refused to do.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) is also looking to lead a trip to the country and is still trying to iron out details of timing and who will join, multiple sources familiar with the matter told Axios.

Ugh.
