I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

That would be just fine — then at least the poor man would be safe and closer to home. If the Regime’s claims of his gang connections was TRUE, all they had to do was bring the info to Court. The fact that Trump’s ICE agents DIDNT do that is proof enough they are lying. 💁🏻

And, unfortunately, “digging their heels in” is exactly what they will do if we try to tell them how stupid they have been. We’re going to have to all live together when this Regime is over, so we better figure out how to return them to sanity and reintegrate them into the nation again.
