A delegation of American Democratic parliamentarians was in Salvador, this Monday, April 21, to claim the return of Salvadoran immigrant Kilmar Abrego García, detained in this country after being expelled by Washington.
Last week, Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen had already gone to the Savior for the same goal and had managed to meet Kilmar Abrego García, expelled from the United States in mid -March with 238 Venezuela and another 22 Salvadorans. The Trump administration accuses them of being criminals, without providing evidence.
“Donald Trump stops, imprisoned and expels illegally”
The case of Kilmar Abrego García, a 29-year-old father, married to an American and who had emigrated to the United States in adolescence to flee from Salvador’s gangs, has become the emblematic Democrats of the abuses of the anti-migrants policy of the US government.
“I am in Salvador to highlight Kilmar’s story and maintain pressure on Donald Trump to guarantee his return safely at his home,” said Yassamin Ansari, representative of Arizona on social networks. “We want to make sure Kilmar is still alive. We want to make sure you have access to a lawyer,” Yassamin Ansari added, accompanied by parliamentarians Robert García, Maxwell Frost and Maxine Dexter.
“Trump stops, imprisoned and illegally expels people of any regular procedure,” he denounced in X Maxwell Frost.
He said that the government of President Nayib Bukele rejected a request from US parliamentarians to visit Kilmar Abrego García.
“We have to ask the Administration to explain these illegal acts and demand Kilmar’s release. Today is him, tomorrow could be anyone,” he added.
Kilmar Abrego García told Chris Van Hollen that he had been imprisoned for the first time at the terrorism center for terrorism (CECOC), a mega prison for gang members, but was later transferred to another Salvadoran prison.
The Trump administration admitted that Kilmar Abrego García had been expelled due to an “administrative error”, and the United States Supreme Court demanded that the government “facilitate” its return. But Washington declares himself because of the inability to remedy it, the father is now in the hands of the Salvadoran authorities. During a recent visit to the White House, President Bukele said that “he did not have the power to send him back to the United States.”
