EXCLUSIVE: Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari is in El Salvador to Advocate for Abrego Garcia's Release

Let me know what you think about this interview!

I have an exclusive interview for you right now. Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari from Arizona is currently on the ground in El Salvador with three other House Democrats, working tirelessly to advocate for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. (Excuse any audio issues as the wifi was not great).

As we speak, she is meeting with his attorney, U.S. embassy officials, and human rights organizations. Despite facing opposition from Republicans on the Oversight Committee, particularly James Comer, who denied their request for an official Congressional delegation, Congresswoman Ansari and her colleagues have decided to fund this important trip themselves. I had the opportunity to interview her before anyone else, where she shared her plans for the trip, including whether she will meet with Kilmar, engage with Salvadoran officials, and more. Stay tuned for her insights on this critical mission.
