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. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted and is being held in a notorious prison in El Salvador — barred from contacting his family or lawyers. I’m speaking to the press now after we were denied access to the prison to check on his condition. Tune in:…

We were just denied entry into CECOT — the notorious prison in El Salvador where Mr. Abrego Garcia is being illegally held. We were there for one simple reason: to check on his well-being, which his family and lawyers have not been allowed to do. We won’t…

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been…

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted…

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s…

Elon Musk and Donald Trump think they can punish people for expressing views they disagree with. Well guess what: that's not how the First Amendment works. I salute Harvard and all those who are resisting Trump's political blackmail and bullying. And…

To Elon Musk and the other billionaires in Trump’s cabinet, no — Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme. It’s a PROMISE to the American people. On this Social Security Day of Action and every day, we are fighting like hell to keep that promise.…

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition…

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He…

Today I visited Maryland's NASA Goddard — the heart of our entire space science enterprise — which Trump and Musk want to gut to fund tax cuts for billionaires. As @hoyer.house.gov, @ivey.house.gov and I made clear, we will fight like hell to stop this…

Marco Rubio isn't doing a lot of foreign policy these days, but what he IS doing is disappearing people for voicing their First Amendment rights. Secretary Rubio, why don't you stop lying and picking on college students and come testify before the Senate…

If the Trump Admin was able to illegally abduct Kilmar Abrego Garcia and send him to El Salvador in 72 hours, then they can sure as hell bring him home in less than that. Their foot-dragging on complying with court orders is unacceptable. They need to…

The Republican “SAVE Act” isn’t just unnecessary (citizenship is already a voting requirement) — it would also disenfranchise millions of U.S. citizens who don’t have passports or access to their birth certificate, or who recently changed their name. It’s…
