NRCC Offers to Cover Travel Costs for House Democrats to Visit Abrego Garcia in El Salvador
On Monday, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) announced it would cover the travel costs for House Democrats visiting Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador, but with a condition: they must livestream the visit and take selfies with him. The NRCC criticized the Democrats for supporting a confirmed illegal immigrant, MS-13 gang member, and alleged domestic abuser.
Abrego Garcia’s attorneys deny the allegations, though the government has released documents supporting its claims.
The offer coincides with four House Democrats visiting El Salvador to urge compliance with a Supreme Court order to return Abrego Garcia to the U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) condemned the trip, emphasizing Republicans’ commitment to keeping dangerous gang members out of the U.S.
