Maryland Lawmaker Says He Was Denied Access to Abrego Garcia

  • On Monday, Maryland Congressman Glenn Ivey reported that officials in El Salvador blocked his attempt to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran deported from the United States who is currently imprisoned in Santa Ana.
  • Abrego Garcia was deported from the United States in March by the Trump administration under a wartime law targeting alleged gang members, though courts and rights groups have challenged this process.
  • Ivey, the sixth Democratic lawmaker to visit El Salvador, had arranged meetings with senior officials and human rights groups but was told to obtain a permit and was blocked from prison access.
  • US authorities admit Abrego Garcia’s deportation resulted from an administrative error, while the Trump administration labels him an unproven MS-13 gang member and violent criminal to justify the action.
  • The case highlights ongoing legal disputes and rights concerns over migrant deportations under Trump’s crackdown, with El Salvador and the US refusing to return Abrego Garcia, raising constitutional and human rights issues.
