Four House Democrats travel to El Salvador despite GOP refusal to authorize a trip
After House Republicans refused to allow Democrats to organize official congressional delegations to El Salvador, four of them are traveling to the Central American nation anyway, Axios has learned.
Reps. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.), Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) and Maxine Dexter (D-Ore.) arrived in San Salvador, the country's capital, on Monday morning, their offices said.
Why it matters: The lawmakers' offices said they will meet with officials at the U.S. embassy there to advocate for the release of Kilmar Armando Ábrego García and receive classified briefings.

They’ll be gone next November if Hogg’s primary push is effective and people actually show up at the polls.
Pangea size if there, buddy.
Congressional primaries usually get less than 20% turnout, most of which are retirees. That’s why we keep the centrists year after year. It won’t be hard if the awareness is there.
Not even slightly smaller if there.
Take note other Dems, this is how you lead. You don't just piss and moan about something and talk about how bad things are, you get your ass in a plane and you fucking fight. I wish my state (Iowa) weren't full of Nazis because it fucking sucks to have "representatives" that are complicit in the exact things these other senators are fighting to correct.
Is this when they find out that some were just murdered?
They won't be allowed in. We'll never know.
Floridians in Frosts district are lucky to have him. I hope they give him more support than he needs to get actual shit done.
Who is paying for it?
Are they doing this on sick leave? Or weekends?
Cool...
But have any libs made it to LA? Or they doing the usual collaboration with fascism?
