Mark Takano: “I thank Mr. Garcia for traveling to El Salvador on his own resources and to our colleagues who spent their own resources…”

“I thank Mr. Garcia for traveling to El Salvador on his own resources and to our colleagues who spent their own resources because this House of Representatives will not do oversight over the overreach of this administration, will not do oversight over the dereliction of constitutional responsibility of this administration, an administration that was defying a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. There is another compelling case we have before us. The 280 other individuals who are in CECOT prison, the government has kept those names secret. The press and others have had to do a lot of sleuthing to identify individuals who have been sent down there. For all we know, there could be citizens among those folks. We don't know because they have never been able to talk to a judge.”
