New filing in NTEU v Vought has *19* declarations from both names and pseudonymous CFPB staff, detailing how Trump admin is still trying to delete the CFPB: www.courtlistener.com/docket/69624...

“The wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration, was forced to move to a safe house with her children after the government **posted their home address** to social media.” 4/23/25 newrepublic.com/post/194289/...

Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13. “His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”
