The U.S. has been complicit. President Trump was in the region and really did nothing, said virtually nothing about what's happening in Gaza, which is on fire.

If we had the benefit of hindsight, we would have done things differently.

Donald Trump's visit to the Middle East... was selling out US national interests for the private gain of his family business.

This will result in a huge spike in the national debt.

The Republican plan, the Trump plan is essentially to give these huge tax cuts to very wealthy people and corporations.

This is collective punishment that is clearly illegal under international law.

The United States has been complicit. President Trump was in the region and really did nothing.

I hope the United States will back off this plan. None of the credible international organizations have said that they will participate.

The Israeli government is starving civilians and the U.S. is complicit in the gross violation of international law.

I am not vouching for Mr. Abrego Garcia, but I am vouching for his constitutional right to due process, because if Donald Trump can ignore court orders and trample over the rights of one man, he threatens the rights of everyone who lives…

I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind — what’s blowing this way, what’s blowing that way.

This is a fundamental constitutional issue, and it is a crisis because the Supreme Court has ruled that the Trump administration has to help facilitate his return to the United States.

Put up or shut up in federal court.

This goes to the heart of protecting people’s rights and what bullies do and what authoritarian leaders do.

I keep saying I’m not vouching for Abrego Garcia. I’m vouching for his constitutional rights because all our rights are at stake.

This is not a case about just one man whose constitutional rights are being ignored and disrespected, because, when you trample on the constitutional rights of one man, as the courts have all said is happening in this case, you threaten…

They go to great lengths to deceive people, and that's what you saw, because they got – these government guys essentially told the waiters to bring these drinks that appear to look like margaritas to the table.

I was not there to litigate all the details of his case. I was there to make sure that he was still alive and check on his health.

They go to great lengths to deceive people.

The administration has presented no evidence linking Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or to any other terrorist activity.

I say, put up or shut up in court.

Well, I know his answer. His answer, he has made repeatedly, including in court, which is that he is not.

Put up or shut up in court.

They need to bring him home.

The Trump administration admitted in federal court that he'd been wrongfully abducted and sent to a prison in El Salvador.
