That is my fear as well, that the reason they can’t send him (and others) home, is because there is no one to send home. It’s both terrifying and incredibly sad.
I, too, fear that he is dead. I also can’t help but fear that any members of Congress risk detainment or worse in going to El Salvador and that Trump would do nothing about it. I can’t help but think of Leo Ryan when he went to Jonestown. But I also know that a stand must be made, and we must all be braver than we think we are in this moment.
We must respond to that, once it becomes more openly spoken about, calmly and coolly, with “So bring out whatever shards of his DNA are left.” Not with sounding shocked, awed, or scared off.
Important to get our bodies out, visible and loud. Please join. This one may not be as big as the last Hands Off (because not a lot of advance notice).
Such an amazing piece. Sharing it with everyone along with a reminder to become a Bulwark plus member!
We have crossed the rubicon, and I don’t think the Democrats get that except for the few you mentioned.
Certainly not Chuck Schumer with his pearl clutching statement. Cannot eye roll hard enough.
This DEMANDS action. From ALL of us. We should all be in the streets, honestly.
And I think we all know the gravest fear is that they can’t bring him home because they killed him.

They filed a statement to the court that he was alive on Saturday (https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/state-department-reveals-status-man-erroneously-deported-el/story?id=120752503). That doesn't mean he's alive now. He could have been alive on Saturday, and then killed. Or they lied to the court. We just don't know.
