1 week ago | thebulwark.com | Adrian Carrasquillo

A DEMOCRATIC MEMBER OF CONGRESS attempted over the weekend to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia at his new detention site in El Salvador only to be turned away by local authorities. Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.) who counts Abrego Garcia as a constituent, went to the prison in Santa Ana, El Salvador on Monday. But Ivey told The Bulwark he was rebuffed. He was ultimately not able to meet with the Maryland father with a wife and kids who are both U.S. citizens.

EARLIER THIS WEEK the Trump administration announced charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.), whom they accused of assaulting ICE agents while visiting a New Jersey detention center.

Exclusive: Trump’s Losing the Latino Voters He Won in ’24

DONALD TRUMP’S SUPPORT AMONG LATINO VOTERS, including those who voted for him in 2024, is fracturing, a new poll shared exclusively with The Bulwark found. The poll by Equis Research, a Democratic group, conducted in conjunction with Data for Progress, showed that 66 percent of Latino voters believe Trump’s deportation actions “are going too far and targeting the types of immigrants who strengthen our nation.”Critically, that figure included 36 percent of Latinos who voted for Trump in 2024.
Kilmar Is a Symbol Now

IF I ASKED YOU TO THINK OF CLASSIC IMAGES from the Obama era, I bet one of the first to come to mind would be the HOPE poster: the iconic stencil from the 2008 campaign that portrays the then-future president in deep blue and red hues, created by artist Shepard Fairey from an AP photograph.
