Van Hollen and Booker showing how representatives in government should be working for their constituents. I hope their aim is to be as annoying as possible until something good comes of it, but I worry Bukele will just arrest them and further erode the numbers we have in Congress.
I hope he is successful
Imagine 3 more senators do this, would that change things in your eyes? 5? 10? Etc. Even if unsuccessful it puts the pressure on those involved, making them look incompetent whether they ignore it or bend over backwards to justify it. It’s a smart way deal with unethical actors.
What if 5 republican senators just joined with the 50 dems and passed a bunch of laws to prevent this? Do you think that 10 dems going to el salvador and being told “fuck off” is going to save our country or more people from being sent to el salvador? Can’t we have someone else check on the prisons, someone who isn’t incharge of making laws to prevent this from happening? Really just seems like they are beating around the bush of legislating. Lets focus on 1 guy in El Salvador while 330 Million people are fucked at home.
