Dem leader distances himself from congressional trips to El Salvador: report

The leader of the minority in the House of Representatives, Hakim Jeffrez, notes to his colleagues, that it is time to stop at trips to El Salvador, which aims to highlight the deportation of Kilmar Abrago Garcia, a step that reflects the increasing internal tensions on how the party dealt with border security and optics enforcement of immigration in 2026.

Although Jeffrez has publicly said that the Democrats are committed to securing the return of Abu Garcia from the notorious Salvadwan prison, the sources told the sources that the Democrat in New York had stopped more legislators to travel to the country.

A senior parliament employee described the leadership position frankly: “They want to allow the Silvador things slow.”

Sinator Demi says that the situation of Abo Garcia “will not end well” for Trump, argues that he “undermines” freedom.

But the moderates are increasingly uncomfortable, indicating the political danger of wandering around a person with a volatile past.

Although he was absolutely not accused, he was stopped while he was transferred eight notaries, and court documents in Maryland show a history of alleged domestic violence, including a judge who describes him as “a frequent, violent perpetrator.”

Nevertheless, Democratic lawmakers such as Senator Chris van Holin, DMD, and actors. Maxwell Frost, De Flores, and Robert Garcia, California, traveled to El Salvador in recent weeks to attract attention to the detention of Abigo Garcia. Van Hollen’s visit in particular sparked the online amelos with the “Margarita-Gate” incident with a reputable reputation now.
