Earlier this year, we spoke to the men the Trump administration deported to El Salvador. Hear about what they endured, in their own words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8INs141xeQ

So, Sen. Van Hollen, who flew to El Salvador on 4/16 to visit CECOT, see Abrego Garcia & bring him home was told by VP that he couldn't arrange for him to get in, but somehow, for Sen. Riley Moore (R-W.Va) it was no problemo? And - he got to take selfies. Along with at least a dozen other Senators.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.
