"Hope to" will not stop tyranny, senator.

He's at least getting off his ass and going down there instead of just tweeting about his "concerns" about the situation or whatever. I think something interesting could happen, but probably not.
- Pretty much this. He’s making some kind of attempt but he likely won’t get much out of this.
  
  I mean if Trump/Bukele throw him in the camp, then all respect to him for putting himself on the line. It feels like a shortcut to cool-zone territory, but also I've been let down before.

Yeah man I'm sure they're going to let you into the torture dungeon and check up on this guy they've been abusing.
- Or they let you in, but not out
  
  Honestly that’s a risk he should take. Imprisoning a sitting US senator is a bold move even most of the republicans won’t like
- Hey he spoke with the vice president… Justice coming soon!

I sort of liked it before when the democrats simply said stuff like Kilmar "must be turned to the US." Now they're going to milk this situation all the way up to election day. And they won't even manage to confirm for themselves that he's alive.
- They're never going to confirm whether he's still alive because that would require having a backbone to out your opposition's wrongdoing.
  Still going to milk this for all it's worth.
  
  Congress is on a ~16 day break right now. I know it's purely theoretical but all the other dem senators could have gone with him.
  
  in their "defense", they are completely powerless to get any info on him.
  all they can do is keeping the performance going, showing they are attempting something, and at least keep Abrego Garcia's name in the news cycles for as long as possible.
  However, why aren't they doing impeached and removals proceedings to get rid of that orange cancer?
- Guess they got tired of milking January 6th

normal hostage takers do a confirmation of life at some point
- Dems: "Is he alive? Where is he?"
  Trump admin: "He's alive. He's in a place where he's alive." Snickering.
  Dems: "Oh, good. But were you laughing at us?"
  Trump admin: "It would be unthinkable for us to do that."

He's a US Senator. If he was really serious, he would be arranging a filibuster of El Salvador. Normally I'm not in favor of the US and its citizens overthrowing Central American governments. But if you're openly calling yourself a dictator and operating literal concentration camps? Yeah, sorry. You deserve what's coming to you.
- Yeah and you know what the backlash to that would be? Do you have to live here and see how insane the nationalists will become as you go from one Bukele to seven of them all across the region? All of you should get the fuck out of our countries and keep to yourselves. Plenty of us don’t like him either. Many are sacrificing themselves to deal with him and other corrupt officials across Central America.
  Amazing how people will say NATO was wrong for bombing Serbia over claims of genocide and then advocate to do exactly that to El Salvador. Just casual NATO chauvinism.
  
  nationalists are always as insane as they think they can get away with, there's absolutely no point in appeasing them, ever please be fucking serious
  
  The correct solution is to bring him before The Hague or an ad hoc international court.
- Normally I'm not in favor of the US and its citizens overthrowing Central American governments
  The difference is that the US overthrows democratically elected socialist leaders to install dictators, whereas you want to overthrow dictators to install democratically elected socialist leaders.
  Edit: After rereading this comment, I feel the need to clarify that I'm not actually advocating that the US do this. Take a look at Afghanistan to see what happens when the US actually tries to do this. I'm not sure because countries would only do foreign interventionism if they had an agenda to promote and interest in the region but maybe something like the investment China is providing in Africa would be fine though?
  
  Seriously. Look at this: https://archive.is/itNDE A WSJ article describing how Bukele is already planning to double the size of his concentration camp.
  I am fully convinced that he has signed his own death warrant at this point. Eventually, one way or another, the Trump regime will end. And building a concentration camp for American citizens is not something people will forgive or forget. Cries will go out to depose him like we have countless Central American leaders before, except this time we'll actually be on the side of the angels for once. Bukele is going to get the Osama Bin Ladin treatment by the time this is all over. He has signed his own death warrant.

what about the other hundreds of people who were deported without trial?
