Senator Chris Van Hollen just met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. - ThreadSky

westernlens.bsky.social•68 days ago

Couldn’t he just get on the plane with the senator and come back ?

reply

Awesome…

reply

maskedmanparadox.com•68 days ago

Take note of the warm visitor center where this meeting took place, rather than the crowded cells that the complicit republicans had photo ops taken...

reply

siomhabrigit.bsky.social•67 days ago

As much as it was done for propaganda, and to not let a Democrat see the actual prison, I'm glad Kilmar at least had a little time out, to get clean water and hopefully food, and a caring face to talk to. There's so many men in there who haven't seen that much humanity in far too long.

I feel like this aid in the photo does the same job as the Forrest Whittaker character in “Coming to America.”

But trump is too impotent to get him back here. Trump is limiting his own power with this argument.

Nope. And the senator probably can’t talk either. They just need to get the other senators off their asses and demand they return everybody.

How setup does this look.

First off, denied access to the prison.

All of a sudden, rolled out in clean clothes, shaved etc.

Sitting down at a table in a resturant cleared for the photo op.

Now the question is, why all this..

Why isn't he already on the plane home if he isn't a criminal?

reply

Because it would hurt Trump’s feelings.

Kilmar needs to be returned to his family as soon as conceivably possible. The rest of the 200 need to be afforded due process prior to any deportation and deportation to a foreign terrorist prison is unacceptable.

mhodgson297.bsky.social•68 days ago

Those saying he looks good, normal clothes etc., is because from day one, he was flagged as wrongly deported. He's kept separate from the main 'criminal' group. They're not in that facility.
Hopefully, the nightmare will soon be over! Some federal judges better grow some real balls and stop this!

Bukele dressing him up in bright colors, American hat, and shaved for the cameras and calling those glasses of water margaritas is high-level propoganda. Within a minute I am sure he was put back into his dirty prison garb and thrown into his cell with dozens of other inmates.
