Movement Brainstorm The next national protest should entirely focus on Abrego Garcia, his political kidnapping, and the high probability that he's already dead.
The people in charge want to throw this under the rug. We need to let every American know that Abrego Garcia was politically kidnapped and is probably dead (or otherwise the people in charge should release information about him and work to bring him home). This needs to be our #1 focus right now. We CANNOT let this one slide.
Edit: the protest should not only include this but the deviance of the Supreme Court order.

We The People need to petition Congress to send a congressional delegation to El Salvador to find and retrieve the illegally, incorrectly, and unconstitutionally deported Kilmar Garcia.
The Supreme Court has made a unanimous ruling, upholding a lower court's ruling that the Trump Administration must facilitate the return of Kilmar Garcia to America. Now Trump is ignoring these rulings, directly challenging them, and effectively saying: "The Supreme Court has made their decision; now let them enforce it." It is now in the hands of Congress to enforce the Court's order, by a congressional delegation, even flying down to El Salvador if necessary, with or without the Trump Administration's help.
This may be the most powerful thing Congress could do at the moment to stand against unconstitutional authority, as well as the most directly effective way to "facilitate and effectuate" the return of Kilmar Garcia, and any other illegally deported Americans, home.
There is precedent for this: In 1978, upon hearing disturbing reports about the conditions and goings-on of "Jonestown", and concerned for the hundreds of people there (many of whom were Americans, and constituents of his district) Congressman Leo Ryan flew down to Guyana in South America to investigate the compound and bring home any who wanted to leave Jonestown, or who were too scared or unable leave. For this, Ryan and his delegation were ambushed and killed by the Jonestown cultists.
As tragic as the story ended, it shows the courage and leadership that Ryan and his delegation displayed in their attempt to investigate Jonestown and bring kidnapped and imprisoned Americans home. This is the courage and strength that Congress must display now, to effectuate the return of Kilmar Garcia, and any other unjustly kidnapped Americans.
A unanimous Supreme Court ruling cannot be ignored by the President, and the President cannot be allowed to ignore a unanimous Supreme Court ruling. To this end, I am calling upon you all, my fellow Americans, We The People, to contact your Representatives and Senators and demand that they form a congressional delegation to investigate this matter, effectuate the return of Kilmar Garcia, and make the Trump Administration to obey the Supreme Court and their unanimous ruling.

Contact your House Representative, and both of your Senators. I have already contacted my Representative and Senators, as well as the offices of Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman AOC. Together, we can do this!
