WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Wednesday, April 9, 2025, Members of Congress joined Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, and immigrant advocacy leaders from CASA to demand answers and accountability from the Trump Administration for the illegal deportation and disappearance of Abrego Garcia—a Maryland father, tradesman, and legal U.S. resident who was forcibly removed to El Salvador in March despite holding lawful status.
Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the Maryland delegation spoke out alongside Vasquez Sura against Abrego García's unlawful detention.
In their own words: "Kilmar, if you can hear me, I'm still fighting for you. Your brother. Your mother. Your children. They're still fighting for you. We're not gonna give up hope. To the Supreme Court justices, do the right thing. History will always remember you," said Vasquez Sura.
