I can't be the only person who had no idea that #MattGaetz created an official "El Salvador Caucus" in the U.S. Congress last year and it just so happens to be full of most of that body's biggest cranks (#LaurenBoebert, #MikeLee, #NancyMace, #TimBurchett) and most corrupt reps (#AndyOgles, who made some “interesting” campaign finance moves at the crypto industry’s favorite bank that he and George Santos chose to hold their campaign money).

Have to admit I'm surprised that #kilmarabregogarcia is purportedly alive, and I'm having trouble trusting the news that #senvanhollen was able to meet with him. I want it to be real and have no specific reason to doubt it, except my general mistrust of all the mofos on the other side of this and the lengths to which they'll demonstrably go to protect this whole wretched scheme of theirs...

“ Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen met Thursday in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man who was sent there by the Trump administration in March despite an immigration court order preventing his deportation. ”

2/ In other "crypto scammers visiting El Salvador to immanentize bitcoin fascism" news, #MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, the man who owns more bitcoin than anyone (much of it bought with borrowed money in what will probably turn out to be history's largest pyramid scheme) flew to San Salvador to visit Bukele on February 13th.
This is horrific 
"Based on her inspection of his birth certificate and Social Security card, Riggans said she found no probable cause for the charge. However, the state prosecutor insisted the court lacked jurisdiction over Lopez-Gomez’s release because U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had formally asked the jail to hold him."

Ezra Klein is right:
They cant bring #kilmarabregogarcia back, bc as soon as they produce him, we will ask him what happened to him, and whether he tells the truth or he lies, both indict the regime
#CECOT is a death camp
Trump Dodges on El Salvador Court Orders: ‘I’m Not Involved’
Yup. ATTENTION: white native-born, generational Americans, if 57 year old Dr LISA ANDERSON born in PA and living in 93% white bread Cromwell CT is threatened with deportation by ICE for no reason or administrative error, then every one of you is a target.
Demand proof of life for #KilmarAbregoGarcia
Another court rules Trump is violating the rights of #KilmarAbregoGarcia, calling it “shocking to judges and the sense of liberty we hold dear”

(USA Today) It was the second day in a row the Maryland Democrat has been refused entry into the prison, even though at least two GOP House members were given a tour of the facility just two days earlier.
USA TODAY was following the senator's motorcade when it was stopped. The checkpoint appeared to be set up specifically to keep him from the prison.

“Well, I’m not involved in it,” #trump said to reporters in Oval Office q&a today, when asked about #kilmarabregogarcia.
And then, “I don’t see how judges can take that authority away from a president,” he added, about being able to remove “criminals” who are in the United States “illegally”.
He’s distancing himself, while being more passive about his assertions. He’s backfooted and deflated.
Naked emperors get cold feet.
Nice. Sen #SheldonWhitehouse just mentioned that #KilmarAbregoGarcia has an excellent #BivensAction complaint against #Trump et al.
#DeepCut but exactly on the nose.
A Bivens action generally refers to a lawsuit for #damages when a federal officer who is acting in the color of federal authority allegedly violates the US #Constitution by federal officers acting.
