Where is he? If we stop asking, stop demanding his return, we are complicit in his disappearance.
Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 109 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
