Another Democrat lawmaker heading to El Salvador to advocate for Abrego Garcia's release

Rep. Maxine Dexter, D-Ore., is planning to travel to El Salvador to advocate for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadorian national who the Trump administration deported to El Salvador.

“A legal U.S. resident has had his due process rights ripped away and is now being held indefinitely in a foreign prison. This is not just one family’s nightmare; it is a constitutional crisis that should outrage every single one of us,” Dexter said in a statement released on Friday night. 

Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., met with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador on Thursday night. He vowed to continue pushing for his release back to the U.S.
