Senators Demand Transparency on El Salvador Deportations
Responding to the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, Democratic senators introduced legislation requiring the Trump administration to provide reports on its compliance with court orders for his return. The bill mandates an assessment of El Salvador’s human rights record and investigates whether U.S. funds support the detention of deported Americans. The legislation, introduced under the Foreign Assistance Act, would prohibit security assistance to El Salvador if the administration fails to cooperate. This action follows a federal judge’s finding of the administration’s “willful and bad faith refusal to comply” with court orders and Abrego Garcia’s continued detention, allegedly funded by the U.S.
