Progressive Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., was in El Salvador last week, where he met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant married to an American citizen. The administration says Abrego Garcia is an MS-13 gang member with a violent history.
Democrats, in contrast, have painted him as a Maryland father and husband wrongfully deported under the Trump administration's sweeping immigration plans.
Four House Democrats – Reps. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., Robert Garcia, D-Calif., Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., and Maxine Dexter, D-Ore. – are currently in El Salvador with Abrego Garcia's family lawyer in an effort to secure his release.
Frost told Fox News host Will Cain on Monday that they had not been able to meet with him.
In their press release announcing the trip, the group said it was not funded by taxpayer dollars, though it did not say how it was funded.

The NRCC's Senate counterpart, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), released a video on X with a message to Democrats: "¡Bienvenidos a El Salvador Senate Dems! Democrats should feel free to make their trip to hang out with MS-13 gangbangers one-way."
The 40-second video is a vacation-style clip advertising El Salvador as "the destination for Democrats seeking the thrill of bringing violent criminal illegal aliens back to America."
"Come witness Trump Derangement Syndrome in its purest form," the voiceover says. "So, what are you waiting for, Senate Democrats?"
