From the Washington Examiner: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is the latest Republican to announce she is visiting El Salvador to meet with its president as the country takes center stage in American politics with President Donald Trump‘s crackdown on illegal immigration.
Luna said she received a “personal invitation” from Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele to travel to the country.
“Thank you, President Bukele, for standing firm against organized crime. I look forward to seeing you,” Luna said.
In the last few weeks, several Republicans have traveled to El Salvador to meet with Bukele or other officials. Some, such as Reps. Jason Smith (R-MO) and Riley Moore (R-WV), shared photos of themselves visiting the Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, a megaprison in Tecoluca where Trump sent thousands of illegal immigrants after little to no due process.
Announcing her invitation from the El Salvador president, Luna wrote, “Unlike Senator Van Hollen, who drank margaritas with a cartel member, I’ll be focused on strengthening the partnership between our nations, advancing shared commitments to safety, freedom, and national pride as well as discussing our commitments to continuing to fight for human rights.”

Meanwhile, a group of Democrat reps who traveled to El Salvador vowing to get alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia out of jail and bring him back to the United States are complaining that their request to meet with the deported man was denied.
This was the letter from Comer that Frost posted yesterday:
