I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Our union brother Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was deported due to “an administrative error,” even though he has protected status. Despite a federal judge and Supreme Court order, he still hasn’t come home to his family.
