I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release.
Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

Today, the government detained another student for their speech.
Mohsen Mahdawi's attorneys have already filed a petition for his release and a Vermont judge ordered he not be moved out of state. As his fight continues, let us be clear: Dissent is not grounds for deportation.

My thread on today's hearing for Rümeysa Öztürk, now complete!
TLDR: The judge seemed inclined to order Öztürk transferred from Louisiana to Vermont so she could assist in her case. He sounded open to releasing her from ICE detention altogether but wanted a hearing with chance to enter evidence.

HAPPENING NOW: Rümeysa Öztürk (repped by ACLU) has a hearing before Vermont federal judge William K. Sessions III.
Öztürk is the Tufts PhD student snatched off the street by ICE and now facing deportation for cowriting a pro-Palestine op-ed in the student newspaper. 🧵

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

NEW: We've reached an agreement with the Department of Education that ensures no school district is required to certify the government's vague ban on "illegal DEI" before a court rules on the legality of the requirements by April 24th.

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

How do you respond when someone tells you to ‘just let Trump do the job he was elected to do’? Where to begin? Even worth responding?

If you're just getting up, note that Trump — the guy who was elected largely because of concerns about the cost of living — is now admitting that his bizarre new trade tariffs might very well cause "some pain."
He made the admission in an incoherent online rant filled with gibberish.

The administration apparently intends to transport tens of thousands of migrants to a military facility on an island — but we're apparently not supposed to see them as "the camps." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
The problem(s) with Trump’s new plan for Guantánamo Bay
The president has instructed officials to “begin preparing” a 30,000-person “migrant facility” at Guantánamo Bay. The list of concerns is not short.
