Chris Van Hollen: “So I think those are all really good points.”

We must not forget that a federal judge has already made clear what we have long known: the Trump Administration’s Department of Justice is engaged in a vindictive prosecution against Kilmar.

We ask that you pause any use of the SMART tool until we can better understand your decision-making, rollout process, and evaluation plan.

We must hold them to this standard and hold a hearing to determine what the Department knows, as well as request the original report written by embassy staff on the status about these killings.

This should chill every American to the bone. When the rights of one are threatened, the rights of all are at risk.
