Gavin Newsom praises congressman's El Salvador trip after deportation controversy
Briefly

California Congressman Robert Garcia has received commendation from Governor Gavin Newsom for his efforts to support Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a victim of wrongful deportation. Abrego Garcia was mistakenly deported to a Salvadoran prison notorious for human rights violations. The Supreme Court has indicated that his rights were breached, yet the Biden administration appears resistant to his return. Garcia and other lawmakers traveled to El Salvador to confront these issues but were denied access to Abrego Garcia, stirring criticism about immigration policy and due process under the Trump administration.
Gov. Gavin Newsom praised Rep. Robert Garcia's efforts to advocate for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, aligning himself against the Trump administration's handling of immigration cases.
The U.S. Supreme Court and a federal judge found that immigration officials violated Abrego Garcia's rights, highlighting a struggle between due process and the current political climate.
