A group of four Democratic lawmakers arrived in El Salvador Monday to continue to push for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland father who was detained at the Terrorism Confinement Center mega-prison known as CECOT, where he was transferred in what the Trump administration admitted was an “administrative error.” The delegation was led by Democratic Representatives Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, Maxine Dexter of Oregon, Maxwell Alejandro Frost of Florida and Robert Garcia of California. The group spoke from the capital San Salvador yesterday. This is Congressmember Frost.
Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost: “This isn’t just about him. This is also about every single person in the United States. The Constitution applies to all people in our country. Due process applies to all people in our country. It’s one of the things that sets our country apart from other places across the entire world. And so, we’re worried, of course. We demand the release of Abrego Garcia, but we’re also worried about our own constituents.”
The Trump administration now says Abrego Garcia was moved into another prison in El Salvador.
