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.

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!
Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

Last week, the AFL-CIO raised the alarm on the dangerous ways that Musk could access secret OSHA whistleblower complaints against his companies. DOGE's access to sensitive OSHA, NLRB and other labor-related information is a HUGE conflict of interest.
