For accessibility purposes, I typed up a full transcript of the Senator's press conference where he provided updated information about the fight to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States.
![Now, the courts of the United States have said there is no evidence to support the charge that he is part of MS-13, so I asked the Vice President [of El Salvador] whether or not El Salvador has any evidence that he’s part of MS-13 or has committed a crime. So, I asked the Vice President if Abrego Garcia has not committed a crime and U.S. courts have found that he was illegally taken from the United States and the government of El Salvador has no evidence that he was part of MS-13, why is El Salvador continuing to hold him in CECOT? And his answer was that the Trump administration is paying El Salvador, the government of El Salvador, to keep him at CECOT.
And I pointed out that neither the govt of El Salvador nor the Trump administration has presented evidence to support the claim that he’s committed any kind of criminal acts. And so, why not release Abrego Garcia today? And he said what President Bukele said the other day at the White House, which is that El Salvador can not smuggle Mr. Abrego Garcia into the United States. And I said I’m not asking him to smuggle Mr. Abrego Garcia into the United States, I’m simply asking him to open the door of CECOT and let this innocent man walk out.
And I pointed out that the Attorney General of the United States, Pam Bondi, has said that the United States would send a plane to El Salvador to pick him up. And why did she do that? Because the Supreme Court of the United States, in a rule of 9-0 has said that the Trump administration has to facilitate his return to the United States.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2zvuss3lb6yvyo5qvdsgalat/bafkreia4o32f4dfpincrgrb4hbp3vwuxrjadnejake3dfv22k3jx5po42u@jpeg)
![Now, there is no evidence that the Trump administration is complying with that order. There is no evidence that they’re complying with that order. In fact, the United States Embassy here [in El Salvador] has told me they have received no direction from the Trump administration to help facilitate his release. So, the Trump administration is clearly in violation of American court orders. That still leaves the question: Why is the government of El Salvador continuing to imprison a man where they have no evidence he’s committed any crime and they’ve not been provided any evidence by the United States that he’s committed a crime?
So they should just let him go. And they should let him go and we will find a way to get him from San Salvador to Maryland, the State of Maryland. Because I promised his wife, his wife Jennifer, and his mother and his brother and their family because he has three children. Some of them have severe disabilities. I promised them that I would do everything I could to get him out of CECOT. And I won’t stop trying and I can assure the President and Vice President that I may be the first United States Senator to visit El Salvador on this issue, but there will be more. And there will be more members of Congress coming. This is an unsustainable and unjust moment so it can not continue.
I also told his wife and family that I would try to meet with Mr. Abrego Garcia while I was here. So I asked the Vice President if I could meet with Mr. Abrego Garcia. And he said, well, you need to make earlier provisions to go visit CECOT. I said I’m not interested at this moment of taking a tour of CECOT, I just want to meet with Mr. Abrego Garcia. He said that he was not able to make that happen. I asked, he said he needed a little more time. I asked him if I came back next week, whether I’d be able to see Mr. Abrego Garcia. He said he couldn’t promise that either.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2zvuss3lb6yvyo5qvdsgalat/bafkreib3dhes2soen7fwbfexd3jxzhu66jvg72vxgwiig3pdjmqg7oewui@jpeg)

But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.

The WH Press Secretary says the Yemen Signal chat is a "hoax", she further stated "democrats and their propagandists in the mainstream media know how to fabricate, orchestrate, and disseminate a misinformation campaign quite well."

🚨🚨Trump quietly issued an executive order yesterday ordering all states and federal agencies to hand over their databases to DOGE.
This could include Social Security (NUMIDENT) data, passport data, health records, drivers license data, and so much more.
