Another Dem Goes to El Salvador to See Abrego Garcia on Memorial Day—It Does Not Go Well

X/@ChrisVanHollen

On Monday, Memorial Day, many in the U.S. remembered those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) did a Memorial Day post on X.

But his next X post revealed that he won the award for the "next Democrat to embarrass himself by going to El Salvador." He was in El Salvador, trying to see Kilmar Abrego Garcia on Memorial Day. 

Ivey posted a video giving an update on their effort to see Abrego Garcia, saying he was the "Congressman who represents Kilmar." 

He said he contacted their ambassador and our ambassador in El Salvador to make a request to see Abrego Garcia.

But Ivey said they wouldn't let him see his "constituent," they told him to go back to San Salvador and get a permit. 

"That's ridiculous," he railed. 

"They knew we were coming, they knew why we were coming, and they know we have the right to do this," Ivey said. "So, they need to just cut the crap, let us get in there and have a chance to see him and talk with him...Let us in!' he ranted.  He was with Abrego Garcia's lawyer and a man from a Maryland union of which Abrego Garcia was a member.

First, let's note that Abrego Garcia is not a constituent. Last time I checked, El Salvador is not a part of Maryland. Abrego Garcia is not a voter or a citizen in Ivey's district in Maryland. 

Second, what a strange thing it is to advocate not only on behalf of someone who was an illegal alien and an alleged MS-13 member, but on behalf of a foreign national. Why should El Salvador listen to you about how they deal with their citizen? You're trying to dictate to them and throwing a fit? They might have to grant access to the lawyer, but why should they care about a member of a foreign Congress? 

Third, Ivey is supposed to represent his actual constituents, the citizens of his district. 

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen did get to see Abrego Garcia. He infamously sat with him at a table with a couple of margaritas. Three other Democrats also went to El Salvador in a performance-laden visit, but they didn't get in to see him.

Four More Dems Continue Down the Train Wreck Path, Now in El Salvador


There was a report that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries had been quietly telling people not to go, but the Jeffries people denied that report. 

So it looks like they're continuing to go down this path of linking themselves to illegal aliens. The American people are supportive of Trump's immigration policies, according to polling. 

So please, keep it up, Democrats. It should go over well. Not.
