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.

Judge Boasberg said he would rule on if there was probable cause to hold the Trump Administration in contempt for ignoring his order barring Venezuelan deportees from being flown to El Salvador. His record shows that President Trump has chosen an especially hard target to paint as “a troublemaker.”
Trump’s Least Favorite Judge Has Friends in High Places

Senate Votes to Rescind Some Trump Tariffs, With G.O.P. Support
