Thank you for speaking truth into Andry's name @RepBeccaB. Andry is not a threat to this country, he is an artist who sought safety in the U.S. In return he was put on a plane to ES' CECOT where he likely languishes as a gay man. 🚨Due process for all, NOT optics over evidence.
Reminder that this is Andry. He is a professional makeup artist from Venezuela. He has no criminal history. He has been in a theater troupe since he was 7 and loves pageants. His family is distraught and misses him. He is sitting in a cell in El Salvador tonight. #FreeAndry
It’s been over 13 hours since I started speaking, and I intend to stay on the Senate floor as long as I’m physically able. I’m here to do my job, as a Senator from New Jersey, to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed by President Trump. I'm am speaking up.

The Dream & Promise Act is a critical lifeline for LGBTQ youth protecting them from deportation to countries where they face mistreatment, including violence or death because of their HIV status.
Thank you, @RepSylviaGarcia, for re-introducing this bill. This is a step forward!
72% of Americans support Dreamers; it’s time for real solutions. Proud to have introduced the American Dream and Promise Act to protect Dreamers and ensure they have the stability they deserve. Congress must act now! #ProtectDreamers
