Senator Megan Hunt: Deported Without Charges. Held Without Rights. We Should All Be Alarmed.

A U.S. legal resident, Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, was illegally deported in direct violation of a Supreme Court order. We are watching constitutional rights get ignored, erased, and violated in real time. If we don’t sound the alarm, who will?

The Trump administration broke the law. Then they bragged about it. Meanwhile, a man with no criminal charges is sitting in a Salvadoran prison. The Supreme Court said it was illegal. And now the president of another country is telling us to get bent. I used my time on the mic to say what every elected leader should be saying: we don’t get to ignore human rights when they’re inconvenient.
