A number of House Democrats landed in El Salvador Monday in an effort to bring MS-13 gang member, wife beater, alleged human trafficker and illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the United States.
"Today, U.S. Representatives Robert Garcia, Maxwell Frost, Yassamin Ansari, and Maxine Dexter arrived in El Salvador to pressure the Trump Administration to abide by a Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man with protected legal status who was unlawfully deported by the Trump Administration. Mr. Abrego Garcia is currently detained in El Salvador despite having no criminal conviction in the United States," a press release put out by the members states.
Garcias is not a "Maryland man" and does not have protected status. In 2019, he told local police he entered the country illegally.
DOJ releases additional information about “Maryland man” and illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

In 2019 the Prince George’s County Police Gang Unit determined Garcia was an MS-13 gang member w/ contacts to other members. He admitted he was in the U.S. illegally after arrest… pic.twitter.com/7aIFn7Pqrm
Four more U.S. lawmakers just landed in El Salvador to meet and shake hands with a terrorist. ⁰⁰All four of them voted against the Laken Riley Act. ⁰⁰Why are these politicians putting terrorists illegally in our country over American victims? https://t.co/n4qj1pRUJC

Over the weekend Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen, who visited El Salvador last week in an effort to do the same, made the rounds on the Sunday shows to justify his trip. He falsely claimed Garcia is "an Americn" and admitted the trip was funded by taxpayers.

.@RealTomHoman: I've talked to girls as young as nine who were raped by gang members. I've held dead bodies. If people wore my shoes for the last 40 years and seen the travesties I've seen, they would understand that the worst of the worst need to be sent to a prison like that. pic.twitter.com/sD1fXLAF4t
