克里斯·范霍伦: 我要强调的是，特朗普总统、我们的司法部长邦迪和美国副总统都在撒谎，他们说奥布雷戈-加西亚……被指控犯有罪行或属于MS-13帮派。这是谎言。我问萨尔瓦多副总统，如果美国和萨尔瓦多都没有证据证明他确实犯了罪，为什么该国还要继续将他关押在被称为CICOT的最高安全监狱中。他的回答是特朗普政府正在……付钱给萨尔瓦多政府，让他们把奥布雷戈-加西亚关押在西科克。付钱给他们。用什么钱？纳税人的钱？嗯，这似乎有点浪费。 Erin Ryan: 白宫发言人卡罗琳·利维特周三在新闻发布会上回应说：没有什么能改变奥布雷戈-加西亚永远不会成为马里兰州父亲的事实。他将永远不会再居住在美国。好吧，我承认很多新闻报道都是这样描述奥布雷戈-加西亚的，卡罗琳，但是……没有什么能改变他是一个父亲，而且他住在马里兰州的事实，因此是马里兰州的父亲。周三早些时候，华盛顿特区的一名联邦法官表示，他发现有充分理由认定特朗普政府官员犯有藐视法庭罪。 里奇·托雷斯: 我们致力于反击。你知道，我提出了一项名为《救援法案》的立法，该法案将对萨尔瓦多等任何国家拒绝释放因违反联邦法院命令而被错误驱逐的人施加惩罚。对民主党人来说，利害攸关。对国家来说，利害攸关。在唐纳德·特朗普所做的一切事情中，没有什么比他对正当程序的正面攻击、对正当程序的战争更糟糕的了。这不仅仅对非公民有影响。特朗普政府可以将任何人贴上非公民帮派成员的标签，在深夜绑架他们，然后将他们交给外国监狱进行折磨。因此，他正在为我们民主的未来树立一个危险的先例。

Maryland Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador Wednesday to push for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who the U.S. government wrongfully deported to a Salvadoran super prison last month. While the administration continues to dig in on its allegations the Salvadoran national was a gang member, courts are also showing their willingness to challenge the White House’s claims. On Wednesday, a federal judge found probable cause to find Trump Administration officials in criminal contempt of court over sending Venezuelans to the same maximum security prison in El Salvador where Abrego Garcia is currently being held. New York Congressman Ritchie Torres talks about why it’s important for Democrats to speak up about these cases.

And in headlines: California sued the Trump administration over the president’s heavy tariffs, the Department of Justice sued Maine for allowing trans girls to compete in school sports that align with their gender identity, and Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene laughed off some financial scrutiny.
