“Unions know that an injury to one is an injury to all, and an attack on the rights of Kilmar and others will lead to everyone’s rights being stripped next. If due process can be taken from one person, it can be taken from all of us.”
Our SMART Union brother Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally deported without due process.
On Thursday, we’re rallying to demand justice for Kilmar and workers nationwide.

Your reminder that although the attention on Kilmar Abrego Garcia is important, all of the men sent to the CECOT concentration camp in El Salvador were sent there for life sentences without due process.
All of them need to be brought back and afforded their rights to due process.
