Two members of the House Democratic leadership are working
to organize an official congressional delegation to the Salvadoran prison where
the Trump administration is sending deportees, Axios has learned.
Sources indicate that dozens of House Democrats have
privately expressed interest in joining the trip as a show of opposition to the
administration's deportation policies, the outlet reported.
That said, "while lawmakers could travel to the Central
American country informally, approval from a Republican committee chair is
required to send an official congressional delegation (CODEL)," Axios
reported. "A CODEL would grant members crucial oversight powers and
security resources."
