Hi,

The Trump administration is ignoring the courts and the rule of law to
carry out his cruel mass deportations. When Trump sent nearly 300 people
to El Salvador’s horrific CECOT mega-prison, he violated the law and
handed over people to a foreign dictatorship.

Senator Tim Kaine said, “Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele has rounded up
tens of thousands of Salvadorans without due process and jammed them
indefinitely into overpopulated torture centers.”^1 Trump has joined
Bukele in sending people to the brutal prison where El Salvador’s justice
minister says the only way out is “in a coffin.”^2

Senate Democrats will now force a vote to uncover how Trump defied federal
court orders, and hold Trump publicly accountable for sending people to a
foreign prison. This is one of the few opportunities Congress has had to
formally condemn Trump’s actions.

lawmakers must stop this from happening again!

Senator Chris Van Hollen spoke on Trump’s travesty of justice after
returning from seeing Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador, the man the
Trump administration admits to sending to CECOT by mistake. “The American
people deserve answers on this clear defiance of our nation’s
constitutional rights and the extent of El Salvador’s complicity in this
scheme, as well its human rights abuses.”^3

This Senate resolution would require the Trump Administration to report on
its so-called compliance with court orders, the Government of El
Salvador’s collusion with the Trump Administration to violate due process
rights, and the broader human rights concerns in El Salvador. And if this
measure passes but Trump fails to produce the report, all U.S. security
assistance to Bukele’s regime will be cut off.^4

Trump’s sickening, racist mass deportations and his defiance of court
orders are bringing us closer to the end of American democracy with each
passing day of brutal extremism. Trump’s actions are a serious breach of
human rights, our system of laws, and the foundations of our democracy.
Congress must vote to condemn and shed light on Trump’s violations.
