- We were able to identify Andry exiting the plane in Venezuela. After 125 days in a torture prison in El Salvador, he has been released & sent back to the country he initially fled. We will keep fighting for justice for Andry. @ImmDef statement: www.immdef.org/blog/andryre...
- It has been 122 days since Andry was disappeared & forced to El Salvador. 4+ months of being held incommunicado in a torture prison. 4+ months of his family & legal team wondering if he will survive. Thank you congressman @robertgarcia.bsky.social for continuing to speak his name. ❤️ #FreeAndry
- Today is day 110 since Andry Hernandez Romero was disappeared to CECOT in El Salvador. Kilmar has now confirmed what we have feared since 3/15 — Andry has almost certainly endured 110 days of torture. We need proof of life. He needs to be brought back now. #FreeAndry @immdef.bsky.social
- It is day 100 since Andry was disappeared by Trump admin to a gulag in El Salvador. 100 days since this photo was snapped while he begged for his mom. 100 days of wondering if he is still alive. We’re still waiting for the devastatingly slow wheels of justice to turn. #FreeAndry
- After more than 15 hours of attorneys advocating at the federal building since yesterday, @immdef.bsky.social client Javier is finally free. He is now on his way to his chemo appointment with his nephew. He let us know he is so grateful to everyone who fought for his release. ❤️
- The team at @immdef.bsky.social is currently working on dozens of cases of people picked up in the last 24 hours in LA. Among them is Javier, who has cancer & will miss his chemo tomorrow if ICE continues to detain him. He has lived in LA for more than 20 years and has no criminal history.

- You know when Los Angeles had order? Last weekend before Trump and his thugs pulled this stunt to provoke chaos in our city. Meanwhile, while all eyes are on the protest downtown, ICE is out around the city raiding carwashes and terrorizing residential neighborhoods.
- We have not lost our sense of humor ❤️

- You can donate at ClueJustice.org/bond. @ImmDef has a team at the main detention facility holding people rounded up in the ICE raids this week to provide legal consults and assess eligibility for bond. No immigrant stands alone. #LAstandstogether #TeamImmDef

- Today is day 50 since Andry disappeared, & we have no proof of life since the horrific photos taken as he arrived at CECOT. @immdef.bsky.social is so grateful to @lastweektonight.com for featuring his plight on tonight’s episode. We’re still fighting for his return, we’re holding on to hope 👑

- Went to court today for 3rd time since Andry’s rendition. Pic is @immdef.bsky.social legal team outside Otay Mesa detention ctr after his asylum hearing. 39 days since Andry was disappeared, govt moved to dismiss case, latest in effort to erase fact that he was here, seeking protection.🧵
- So grateful for the opportunity to speak with @aliciamenendez.bsky.social @symonedsanders.bsky.social and @michaelsteele.bsky.social on @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social this morning about our @immdef.bsky.social client Andry’s disappearance and our ongoing fight to save his life. #FreeAndry

- Horrified to see this image, of our @ImmDef client Andry, being brutalized and terrorized at the CECOT in El Salvador by men with chains & masks & AK47s. The @TIME photographer described him being slapped as he pleaded with them. We now know it was Andry crying out for his mom.

- Please tune in to @60minutes.bsky.social tonight 7pm on @cbsnews.com to hear my interview about our @immdef.bsky.social client Andry, the makeup artist who was disappeared to El Salvador because of tattoos. We are not giving up on him. #FreeAndry #JusticeForAndry www.cbsnews.com/video/the-pr...

- Our @immdef.bsky.social client Andry’s case will be featured tomorrow on @60minutes.bsky.social. Please tune in 7pm Sunday on CBS as we shine a light on his story of being disappeared with no due process to El Salvador in the middle of his asylum case & our fight to get him out of Bukele’s prison.
- This is positive but need to wait & see whether govt will comply. We should also all be loudly demanding that when/if they retrieve Kilmar, the other men they disappeared to El Salvador with no due process — including our @immdef client Andry Hernandez — are on that plane too.

- Thrilled to share a David & Goliath outcome tonight: @immdef.bsky.social @justiceactionctr.bsky.social & #AmicaCenter joined forces to stand up & say hell no when Trump admin cut congressionally mandated legal rep for 26,000 immigrant kids who would be forced to face a judge alone. TRO granted!
- Our @immdef.bsky.social team has agonized over Andry’s case & how to make sure he is not forgotten as he sits in a prison cell in El Salvador. We are grateful to @jonathanblitzer.bsky.social for shining a light on this injustice & for helping us make sure the world knows who Andry is.
- Here we go again. A little more than a month since they issued a stop work order & then rescinded, the Trump admin went all in again attacking immigrant kids. Our programs serves thousands of kids every year who would otherwise be forced to go to court alone — their futures & safety is at stake!
- #BreakingNews On 3/21/25 we received a near total termination of our federal contract for legal services under the Unaccompanied Children Program (UCP). No child should ever face a heartless immigration system w/o a lawyer by their side. #SaveUCP Read: www.immdef.org/blog/ucpcont...

- This is our @immdef.bsky.social client, Andry, who has been disappeared by Trump admin. Tonight, he is in a Salvadoran prison notorious for human rights violations. He is also a brother & a son, a makeup artist, & like many of us, he has tattoos. Thank you @maddow.msnbc.com for lifting up his story

- Some updates on our client: @immdef.bsky.social went to his imm court hearing Monday and received confirmation from ICE that he has been “removed” to El Salvador. The Judge asked “how has he been removed if there is no removal order?” And the ICE attorney responded that they did not know.
- Posting tonight ti shine a light on what the Alien Enemies Act looks like IRL. Our @immdef.bsky.social client fled Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not. 🧵
