Scoop: Another House Democrat seeks to go to El Salvador

• Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) traveled to El Salvador on Wednesday, but officials refused to let him visit an erroneously deported Maryland man who the Supreme Court has ordered returned to the United States.
• Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) is also trying to organize a CODEL to the country, as are Reps. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) and Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.).

Driving the news: Ramirez, in a letter to House Homeland Security Committee chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) first obtained by Axios, requested he authorize an official CODEL to El Salvador.

• "Given that the Administration's use of CECOT for illegal and unconstitutional deportations is rife with 'administrative errors' ... I urgently request a CODEL to conduct oversight," she wrote.
• Ramirez singled out the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident whose release President Trump and El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele have refused to facilitate despite the Supreme Court order.

The other side A spokesperson for Green did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

• Reps. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) and Riley Moore (R-W.Va.) both shared photos of themselves at the notorious maximum security prison on Tuesday in posts on X praising the administration's deportation policies.

Editor's note: This story has been corrected to reflect that the Smith and Moore photos on X were posted on Tuesday (not Wednesday).
