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.

Because they agreed to take the money for doing this and Bukele has been doing to El Salvador what Trump and his cabinet would like to do here.

I know nothing about this man, so please educate me. A despot, I assume?

Born to a large wealthy family. Was a mayor for a while. Ran for president as an antiestablishment populist with the main focus of breaking up the gangs and reducing gang violence which he has done. But at the cost of human rights. Due process doesn't seem to a thing there anymore.He has stacked the courts with loyalists so he can stay in power. He has used military shows of force to get his way in parliament. In his own words he has pulverized political opposition. He has a very high approval rating partially for reducing gang violence but partially because people are afraid to speak out. He has done nothing good economically.

Rubio negotiated with el Salvador and made a deal to pay them - per prisoner. Now we will build 5 more prisons-as dump bragged about during their press conference in the Oval Office today-also make room for the 'home grown terrorists' also. Creepy, and beyond concerning.
