California history is ugly and brutal. Sure, there may be a happy story or two, but those are mostly found in the aftermath. The true story of California is one of land theft, and that continues to this day. 1/7

Chris Van Hollen risked his life traveling to El Salvador to find out what he could about one of his constituents. ONE. An immigrant who had been in the US for 19 years. He may not have even voted for Van Hollen, but that's not what matters here, and Van Hollen knows this. 1/5

Note that all 5 original plaintiffs in the Boasberg case denies that he is even a member of Tren de Aragua--meaning it's possible that there is a multiple Arbego-Garcia problem.

Please repeat over and over:
“Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”

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.

The US has a long history of welcoming immigrants, to take advantage of their labor, and then calling them criminal when they are no longer needed.
Trump’s combination of tariffs and deportations has rattled farmers and growers in California, who provide more than a third of the nation’s vegetables and more than three quarters of the country’s fruits and nuts. www.thebulwark.com/p/farmers-tr...
Farmers Try to Keep Food on the Table Despite Trump
Thanks to Trump’s immigration and tariff policies, the outlook for agriculture is cloudy.

1/2 A thought on funding for public education:
Federal funding is a hurdle that public schools should not have to worry about. State funding is based on taxes within the school district. The history of redlining means a perpetual inequality of resources.
