Four representatives join effort to challenge the Trump administration's refusal to facilitate the immigrant's release

• Who is Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man wrongly deported to El Salvador?

A delegation of four House Democrats has arrived in El Salvador to push for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, part of a mission to challenge the Trump administration's refusal to comply with a supreme court order to facilitate the return of the immigrant to the United States.

Representatives Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, Maxine Dexter of Oregon, Maxwell Frost of Florida and Robert Garcia of California touched down in Central America on Sunday, following a visit by the Maryland senator Chris Van Hollen last week. The lawmakers are seeking to meet with Abrego Garcia, who had lived in the US for more than a decade before being swept up in a 15 March operation.
