The following letter (with slighly varying wording) was sent to my House Rep and both Senators:
Dear Representative Huizenga,
I’m asking you to please to join Senator Van Hollen and work to rescue Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador. I also ask that you
- forcefully speak out against Trump’s unconstitutional plan to send US citizens, which he calls “homegrown criminals,” to a foreign gulag,
- demand a complete shutdown of all detainees being sent to foreign prisons,
- and hold the administration accountable for defying orders by the Supreme Court by filing articles of impeachment for Trump and other Cabinet officials responsible for this unconstitutional act.
If the Trump administration is able to traffic an innocent man like Abrego Garcia to a foreign gulag, they will be emboldened to do the same to others. This terrifying and evil practice needs to be stopped now.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rev. Kenneth Arthur
Here’s the incredibly disappointing response from my House Rep, received July 21, 2025, in which he just repeats back White House propoganda and lies:
Dear Mr. Arthur,
Thank you for contacting me with your concerns regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I always appreciate hearing from constituents and welcome this opportunity to respond.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an illegal immigrant and according to the Department of Homeland Security, a gang member from El Salvador. While he was deported to El Salvador in March of 2025, and in June, he was returned to the United States. Upon his return, he was charged with two felonies: conspiracy to unlawfully transport illegal aliens for financial gain and unlawful transportation of illegal aliens for financial gain. Mr. Garcia is currently being held in Nashville, Tennessee, as ongoing litigation continues. Please know, I will continue to monitor this situation with your thoughts in mind.
Again, I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with me, and please do not hesitate to do so in the future. To stay up to date with the latest news on our work in Congress, you may sign up at huizenga.house.gov/forms/emailsignup/ to receive my e-newsletter, the Huizenga Huddle.
