Saw Riley Moore on MSNBC news standing at the El Salvadoran prison where (Kilmar Abrego) was sent by Trump illegally to that prison. Even the SCOTUS ruled that he is to be returned immediately. Yet, Trump has defied the court’s order.

Think about that. A U.S. citizen expecting to go home to their family one day was suddenly kidnapped by Trump’s gestapo. Handcuffed by people in all black, no identification on their clothing and swept away to a prison in El Salvador. What was his crime?

His skin color and Trump’s hate towards immigrants. Now we learn Trump paid the dictator of El Salvador $10 million to keep him incarcerated. Who authorized that deal using our tax dollars to pay a dictator to hold a kidnapped American? Senator Chris Van Holland, his representative, went there to investigate and that dictator wouldn’t even set up a phone link for him to talk with his family. Or allow his Senator to see him to insure he is okay.

Trump’s gestapo are kidnapping Americans, rendering them to countries ruled by dictators.

Folks you’d better open your eyes, stand up for our democracy and our America. There’s a lawless, convicted felon, sexual predator and sociopath with a callous heart and evil mind that’s attempting to overthrow our democracy. While Congressman Riley Moore gives a thumbs up signaling it’s okay with him that innocent Americans are being kidnapped and sent to foreign countries and held as prisoners.
