US EditionRep. Glenn Ivey, unable to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, returns to Maryland ‘disappointed'
- In May 2025, Representative Glenn Ivey visited El Salvador in an effort to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man sent back from the United States earlier that year and currently held in a well-known prison in Santa Ana.
- Ivey was prevented by Salvadoran authorities from visiting Abrego Garcia and was told he needed a permit despite prior arrangements with senior officials and the Salvadoran ambassador.
- Abrego Garcia was mistakenly deported after the Trump administration relied on a little-known wartime statute to quickly remove suspected gang affiliates, a practice that some US courts have interrupted or declared illegal.
- The Trump administration claims Abrego Garcia is an MS-13 gang member declared a terrorist group, but offers no proof, while his lawyers deny any affiliation and highlight his protective order to stay in the US.
- Ivey’s blocked visit underscores ongoing disputes over migrant deportations, raising concerns about rights abuses and due process denials amid a wider crackdown on migrants under the Trump administration.
