I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

This is what I’ve been talking about - a lot of the GOP disagrees vehemently with what Trump is doing. They’re just too scared to do anything about it. Bunch of damn cowards.

She’s afraid? How does she imagine that lawful immigrants, academics, members of the press, LGBT people, small businesses, and random foreign travelers feel? If only we had some institution where powerful, senior members of our society could speak up for our rights. A “Senate,” if you will.

No warrant. No probable cause. There's a word for this -- kidnapping. Write and call your governor and your attorney general and your mayor and demand that local and state police oppose ICE when it kidnaps people without a warrant

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

Well, shit. Spoke to officials at the Strafford County Jail this afternoon. I was able to confirm that Mendez is at the facility and is classified as "ICE Low." Historically we have not accepted "low" detainees. I was told that changed in the last few weeks. #NHPolitics

So after today trans women are classed as men in the U.K. So I propose a mass topless demonstration in central London in the middle of the day, obviously a warm day…😂 After all men are allowed to be topless in public without being arrested. How will they handle a thousand topless women..

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

The Trump administration wanted to control the most basic aspects of the university, including what is taught and who is hired. The wanted to turn Harvard into a fancy version of Trump University. And when Harvard said no, Trump used publicly funded research as a hostage.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

It is essential for the rule of law that everyone involved in this end up in prison. Nothing else is a sufficient deterrent against the intentional, repeated abuse of government power to systematically deny fundamental rights.
