After a day in the country, four Democratic lawmakers\u2014Reps. Robert Garcia, Maxwell Frost, Yassamin Ansari, and Maxine Dexter\u2014were denied access to him, despite a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-biden-praises-bright-and-tough-putin-on-world-stage-trashes-republicans\/\" title=\"WATCH: Biden Praises \u2018Bright\u2019 And \u2018Tough\u2019 Putin On World Stage, Trashes Republicans\">successful meeting<\/a> he had with Senator Chris van Hollen. Their trip was aimed at pressuring the Trump Administration to comply with a Supreme Court order for Abrego GarciaS safe return, following allegations that he was wrongfully deported.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of meeting Abrego Garcia, the members met with U.S. Ambassador william Duncan at the embassy,but they felt there was no assurance that the embassy would respect the Supreme Court ruling. In response, they composed a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, demanding proof of Abrego Garcia\u2019s well-being and access to legal counsel.The case has garnered attention due to abrego Garcia\u2019s classification as an MS-13 member during the Trump administration, which led to his deportation under contested conditions. As being deported, he has been moved from a terrorism confinement center to an undisclosed prison.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">House Democrats in El Salvador have yet to meet Kilmar Abrego Garcia<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2102062\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3385767\/house-democrats-el-salvador-visit-abrego-garcia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Four Democratic House members\">Four Democratic House members<\/a> have so far been denied meetings with<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3386476\/karoline-leavitt-abrego-garcia-shame-on-chris-van-hollen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\" Kilmar Abrego Garcia\"> Kilmar Abrego Garcia<\/a> after a day in El Salvador.<\/p>\n<p>While Abrego Garcia was able to meet with Sen.
