Abstract
Senate Democrats are demanding the Trump administration provide information on its transfers to torture in El Salvador, including actions it has taken in response to court orders. On May 1, U.S. Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Alex Padilla (D-CA), introduced legislation outlining the questions they want answers to. Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX) is leading companion legislation in the House.
