Stay home at night.
Protest peacefully.
When the guard shows up, go home.
Then protest again.
Peacefully.
They are putting agitators in. Do not engage.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 65 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo* of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Bring Andry back.
Imagine getting an asylum appointment from the U.S. government, showing up for your scheduled appointment, and then getting deported to a foreign prison.
That's what happened to Andry Romero. He deserves due process.

Incredibly relieved to see confirmation that Kilmar is alive. Now we need to bring him home.
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.

Want to make 3 court filings available given focus on Abrego Garcia.
1) Here's the first Immigration Judge's ruling that KAG posed a risk, which Pam Bondi falsely claimed amounted to a ruling he's a MS-13 terrorist.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️
Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines.
He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.
