Senate Democrat calls Abrego Garcia case 'constitutional crisis'

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said the case of a man wrongfully deported to El Salvador is a “constitutional crisis.”

Murphy, seen as a potential presidential candidate in 2028, argued that Kilmar Abrego Garcia should not have been deported because he had been given protected status by a U.S. court, which determined he could be endangered if sent back to El Salvador.

“Donald Trump ignored that court order and deported him,” Murphy said in a video posted Tuesday to the social platform X.
