Washington, DC (RI) — US Senator Chuck Grassley says American citizens deserve due process, and he says President Trump should explain why a Maryland man remains imprisoned in El Salvador.
The US Justice Department admits it mistakenly deported Abrego Garcia, and the US Supreme Court ruled the US must “facilitate” his return. Grassley acknowledges several of his Democratic colleagues in the Senate may fly to El Salvador as soon as today (Wednesday) to plead for Garcia’s release.
Grassley says President Trump should be working with the courts by offering his point of view.
During a White House meeting with President Trump on Monday, the president of El Salvador said it would be “preposterous” to release Garcia from prison. In the same Oval Office meeting, President Trump suggested US citizens could be deported, but Grassley disagrees.
During a town hall meeting in Fort Madison on Tuesday, Grassley said he’s trying to correct decades of Democratic leadership in the 20th century that are to blame for executive overreach.
