This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Our nations students shouldn’t have to have the fear of being shot at school, or anywhere. I’m praying for the families and wounded, I’m acting so it never happens again.
FSU, I’m so sorry our government has failed you.

More courage and leadership like this.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

We've overemphasized the four-year college degree as the sole path to success. This focus has led to rising student debt and underemployment among graduates. It’s time to reevaluate and recognize the value of diverse educational pathways.
