Democrats to revive Abrego Garcia spotlight with Senate transparency vote
Kilmar Abrego Garcia will return to the national spotlight when the Senate votes on a resolution calling for a report on his detention in El Salvador.
In the coming weeks, the Senate will take up a Democratic resolution that would require the Trump administration to detail the human rights record of El Salvador, including its treatment of inmates in the megaprison where Abrego Garcia, a mistakenly deported illegal immigrant, was briefly detained.
It also asks for the steps taken to comply with a court order demanding his return to the United States. The resolution does not mention Abrego Garcia by name but refers broadly to Americans or U.S. residents “detained or imprisoned in El Salvador.”
Ordinarily, the majority party, in this case Republicans, has control over what gets brought to the floor. But the measure, which is privileged under Senate rules, is the latest example of Democrats using the tools of the minority to end-run that control.
