Sign this PetitionSenator Van Hollen Calls for Kilmar Garcia’s return and an End to Trump’s Power Abuse
Kilmar Abrego Garcia still isn’t home, despite the Supreme Court’s unanimous order to facilitate his return.
Last week, Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland travelled to El Salvador to check on Kilmar’s well-being. Days after he returned, he joined MoveOn’s monthly Volunteer Network Call to provide a report-back on his visit with Kilmar and to sound the alarm on what this injustice means for all of us.
“This case is not about one man alone,” Sen. Van Hollen said. “It’s about all of us. It’s about our Constitution. It’s about our right to due process. Because if you deny one person their constitutional rights, you threaten them for every other person who resides in the United States of America.”
You can watch Sen. Van Hollen’s full remarks on MoveOn’s YouTube channel.
Kilmar is one of a growing number of immigrants being disappeared by the Trump administration without evidence, trials, or due process. It’s a continuing tragedy each day that he and our other immigrant neighbors are not returned home.
Kilmar’s wrongful abduction is part and parcel of an overall power grab putting the rights and civil liberties of every person in the country in jeopardy. If Trump has his way, he’ll expand the deal he made with the extreme Salvadoran megaprison and even ship U.S. citizens to foreign prisons. It’s up to all of us to challenge Trump’s unlawful abuses of power and demand he reunite Kilmar with his family immediately.
This is a dangerous moment in American history, but we’re doing everything we can to keep speaking truth to power and amplifying the stories of people like Kilmar.
