I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.

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.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

The videos showing the El Salvador prisoners makes me so sick. I can’t watch the footage. To know that the administration puts them out because Trump’s base enjoys the sadism is all we need to know. They are sick and depraved and vile people.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

They will do anything they can to keep Abrego Garcia from coming home. Once he does, EVERYONE will get the full account of the horrors he has witnessed/endured at the prison. Bad, bad PR. When (and if) he comes home, he will be on every news network telling his story. Or, he’s already dead.

As Trump defies the Supreme Court and refuses to bring innocent father Kilmar Abrego Garcia back from El Salvador — it’s worth remembering his Czar of Hate Stephen Miller has always been viciously anti-immigrant, even in high school 👇🏽

Last year, when one company experienced losses for supporting a trans influencer, MAGA jeered "Go Woke, Go Broke." Now that every company is experiencing financial uncertainty for supporting Trump, can we all reply: "Go Anti-Woke, Go SUPER Broke"?

Time for Congress to write and enact the Daisy Hildebrand Act to save American children from RFK Jr and the abusive antivax parents who would endanger or kill their own children over personal politics. Put them in prison or deport them.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
