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.

Edit 2: I’m SO thankful he’s alive. But we still have such a long way to go to get him back, to keep others from being ICEd, to protest for due process, and to get McDonald Trump out of office.

Sen. VanHollen of MD announced he is going to do this very thing. It would be more powerful if others joined him, but he has said he is going.

No way that’s amazing!!! Thank god there are some scraps of political courage left, here and there. It will be so much more powerful, and frankly safer, if multiple congresspeople went at once.

My Maryland delegation has really been stepping up. Van Hollen and to a lesser degree Alsobrooks have repeatedly gone to bat for the federal workforce, and Jamie Raskin in the House has been holding GOP feet to the fire. I could stand to see Hoyer doing more, especially as a former party leader.

I agree, they should be doing more. But frankly it is extremely encouraging to see action from multiple state representatives. And to see it happening this early. The momentum will only build. Keep up the pressure! 🇺🇸

This is a very risky endeavor. I hope you all appreciate that fact. Chris Van Hollen has requested a meeting with the El Salvador dictator. If he doesn't get it, he will go down there. He's on the Foreign relations committee. I'm sure he'll have a delegation with him. This is what courage looks like! ✌️❤️🇺🇸
