Summary

Cory Booker plans to travel to El Salvador following Chris Van Hollen's visit to pressure the Trump administration into returning deported Maryland resident Kilmar Ábrego García. The Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his return, but it has not complied. Democrats argue this highlights Trump’s disregard for court orders and immigration enforcement. Booker has been vocally critical of Trump, recently delivering a record-long speech against him. Other Democratic lawmakers also plan to visit El Salvador regarding Ábrego García's case.
