Advocates & legal counsel demand the immediate cessation of retaliatory charges and full compliance with court orders to ensure his safe return, free from unfounded prosecution.

The pressure from elected officials and civil society worked. It's unfortunate that the Trump administration will not admit their mistake and will use anything in their power to convict him.

Upon wrapping up an impactful visit to El Salvador, seeing the challenges firsthand reminds me why we must tackle the root causes of immigration with compassion and action. Grateful for CARECEN’s leadership—and proud to stand with them.

Abel Nuñez joined @ivey.house.gov in El Salvador, connecting him with nonprofits like Cristosal. Cristosal attorney Ruth López was arbitrarily arrested—"No one knew where she was - this is what an authoritarian state does to create fear and impose dominance."

CIVICS 101: Due process is a constitutional right — for everyone. That means no one should be deported without a hearing or legal counsel. But that’s exactly what happened to Kilmar Abrego Garcia. No judge. No lawyer. No justice. Congress must act to ensure our laws are fair & our rights are upheld.
29.05.2025 21:40 — 👍 192 🔁 67 💬 9 📌 2We commend @ivey.house.gov for going to El Salvador to check on the wellbeing of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. It is unacceptable that the Trump administration has failed to facilitate his return, defying the SCOTUS' clear ruling on due process. We must bring him home. #FreeKilmar #dueprocess

"ICE can enter dining areas of a restaurant, but not private spaces like the kitchen or office. If they don’t have an arrest warrant, they have to leave the property, and businesses don’t have to confirm if an individual is there" Abel told 7News.
