6 weeks ago today, planes flew a few hundred people to El Salvador, where they’re being held at CECOT — a place from which Salvadoran officials brag no one is ever released — at US expense.
Their continued detention there is our continued shame.

🚨There are reports that ICE may disappear around 177 people at Bluebonnet Detention Center in TX to #ElSalvador today.
When we say we need this type of leadership - we mean, NOW.
Call (202) 224-3121 & urge your reps to try to STOP the plane. @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social

We're so glad to see Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive. We thank @vanhollen.senate.gov for fighting for his constituent. It's the type of leadership that we need to see from Congress for ALL immigrants disappeared to CECOT without due process.
We shouldn't be sending anyone to a torture prison. Full stop.

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.

Do hurricanes and other natural disasters cause migration outright?
Maybe sometimes. But often the connections are much more indirect

Research finds significant shares of asylum seekers & other migrants at the US-Mexico border experienced climate disasters. Yet #climatechange was rarely the top or sole factor for movement
