WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats plan to force a vote in the coming weeks on a resolution to require more transparency from President Donald Trump’s administration about deportations to El Salvador.

The resolution announced by Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine on Thursday comes after two votes on Democratic resolutions challenging Trump’s tariffs. It is part of a larger strategy by Democrats to continue using mechanisms under the law to take floor time from majority Republicans and vote on reversing parts of Trump’s agenda.

“These votes are all about curbing executive power,” said Kaine, who was also a lead sponsor on the two tariff bills.

The new resolution would force Trump’s administration to report to Congress about what steps it is taking to comply with courts that have determined the U.S. government wrongfully deported immigrants to El Salvador. Democrats have highlighted the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to the Central American country and who a Maryland judge has said should be returned to the United States.

Kaine said Democrats want to put Republicans on record on that case and others while pressuring the government of El Salvador, which is working with the Trump administration.

The resolution would also require the Trump administration to reveal more information about money paid to El Salvador and assess the country’s human rights record.

While the resolution is unlikely to get a vote in the House even if it passes the Senate, Democrats say it is about bringing attention to issues and forcing Republicans to go on record where they are reluctant to speak out publicly against Trump.

“We have limited tools, but this is an effective tool,” said Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen, who is backing the resolution and visited Abrego Garcia in El Salvador two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, a federal judge barred the Trump administration from deporting any Venezuelans from South Texas under an 18th-century wartime law and said Thursday that Trump’s invocation of it was “unlawful.”

U.S. District Court Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. is the first judge to rule that the Alien Enemies Act cannot be used against people who, the Republican administration claims, are gang members invading the United States.

There was no immediate comment from the White House.
