A delegation of Democratic lawmakers, led by California Representative Robert Garcia, visited El Salvador to address concerns over the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident, amid tensions surrounding U.S. immigration and deportation policies under President Trump's second term. The visit is part of a broader effort to protest against the administration's mass deportation agenda, which Democrats criticize for lacking transparency and accountability, and to advocate for individuals affected by these policies. Additionally, the delegation warned of the risks of authoritarianism and the decline of democratic norms, urging global leaders to reconsider alliances with President Trump as part of a strategy to preserve democratic institutions.
