Andry JosΓ© HernΓ‘ndez Romero, as a teen, sewing costumes for his town’s Three Kings Fest.

Andry JosΓ© HernΓ‘ndez Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 65 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo* of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.
