House Rep: My name is __ from zip code __. Deportation w/out due process is against the law & so is defying the SC order to help bring Mr. Garcia home. Keep your oath to uphold the Constitution.

Thank you, Senator Van Hollen. I honestly thought Kilmar was dead. I wish more Democrats would step up to the fight the way you have.
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.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia — not a criminal — was abducted and sent to CECOT.
