"This should not be an issue for Republicans or Democrats.

This is American issue."

STORYLINE:
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, wrongly deported from the United States last month, told a visiting U.S. senator that he was moved from a notorious Salvadoran prison to a detention center with better conditions — a statement made during a meeting that the American lawmaker said was staged by the Central American country’s government to make it look like a retreat.
The senator held an airport press conference after returning to the Washington area from El Salvador.
