No, in fact, the El Salvadoran government tried really hard not to let me see him.

I was there to make sure that he was still alive and check on his health.

Put up or shut up in court

They need to bring him home

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

But rather than fixing the problem, as the Supreme Court has said, in terms of his need to be – use their efforts to – to facilitate his release, they reprimanded the lawyer who made that case.

Well, Weijia, it's good to be with you. And these – his case is, of course, separate than the case of the Venezuelans that you were talking about earlier.

Go to court, stop tweeting and put up or shut up in front of the judges.

They need to bring him home.

Anybody who can’t stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn’t deserve to lead.

I don’t think it’s ever wrong to stand up for the Constitution.

The United States is in a constitutional crisis.

I mean, this is a guy who’s been in CECOT. This guy has been detained. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar, which, of course, is a big fat lie.

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.

Facilitate his return

I met with Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man wrongfully deported to El Salvador.

I will travel to El Salvador today to push for Abrego Garcia’s release

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia never should have been abducted and illegally deported, and the courts have made clear: The administration must bring him home, now.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are scamming our farmers.

So I guess they don’t want young people serving the country.

I’m very worried that this will discourage talented young people from joining the federal service.

So, this is like telling someone’s city council what their total budget cap is, which is just Congress trying to use the District of Columbia as their playground and plaything?

This doesn’t save the federal government any money, right?

At least for now, I don’t see the votes. Based on my reading of the end of the meeting, I don’t see the votes there right now for passing the House Republican bill.

Now, I am just thrilled to be here with so many mad scientists.
