I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

Ending protections for people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela puts more than 500,000 people at risk of deportation.
These individuals used a legal pathway to seek safety here. Sending them back to countries plagued by violence is cruel and will put lives at risk.

We're in court today to stop the Trump administration from detaining immigrants at Guantánamo Bay and to ensure that anyone held there can access lawyers.
Sending immigrants to an abusive, remote prison is unprecedented and illegal.

The House just passed a funding bill that would provide ICE with a nearly $10 billion blank check to detain and deport immigrant communities with few guardrails.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
