Inside Democrats’ Scramble to Travel to El Salvador
16th April 2025
Axios, a Voice of the Crust.
Democrats are rushing to organize trips to El Salvador as President Trump refuses to comply with a Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of a Maryland resident who was erroneously deported to the country.
Why it matters: It’s not just about one deportee, or even immigration policy, lawmakers say. “This is about a president of the United States defying the Supreme Court and wanting to be a king,” said Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.).
It’s not about any deportees, or ‘immigration policy’; they’re just the pretext. It’s about trying to make themselves look good, Trump look bad, and frustrating the results of a democratic election, for which ‘Democrats’ have never had much use.
Garcia and Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) are trying to secure GOP authorization to lead a congressional delegation to visit deportees at El Salvador’s Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT), Axios first reported Tuesday.
Thereby giving it some sort of ‘official’ coloration, to offset the undeniable authority Trump has as President.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) is leaving Wednesday to travel to the Central American country. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) is also planning a trip, as Axios first reported.
Let’s all jump aboard the bandwagon, shall we? Virtue-signaling is not just for the proglodyte-in-the-closet.
