Although in the United States, May 1 is not a holiday, thousands of people celebrated International Labor Day throughout the country with protests against the Donald Trump government.
In the capital, hundreds of people gathered in front of the White House to denounce the policies of their administration, especially in order to achieve the greatest deportation in the history of the United States. Congressmen, religious and union leaders and civil rights activists challenged high noon temperatures in the Columbia district to show their indignation against the cruelty of the greatest ovation was received by Jennifer Vásquez Sura, the woman of Kilmar Abrego García, the Salvadoran deported by error to a prison in El Salvador, which has already become a symbol Deportations
Vásquez Sura took the stage and visibly excited he addressed those present to once again denounce the unfair situation her family lives, after her husband was arrested on March 12 and sent to jail in El Salvador despite having a judicial protection that prohibited him. “There have been 50 days that we have not talked to my husband. 50 days of suffering and pain,” he said. “And when we finally saw the proof that Kilmar was alive, my children and I had to endure to see Trump’s and Bukele administrations laugh at our pain.”
Since the Trump government admitted that the deportation of Abrego García occurred by “error”, Vásquez Sura has become his main defender, appearing on rallies and making statements to the press. Recently, however, he acknowledged being afraid for her and for her children, after the Government made her address public on social networks, which has forced her to move from her habitual home to a safe house.
To date, the Executive has challenged the judicial failures, which have demanded that you make the efforts to return to Abrego García to the United States and Trump even declared in a recent interview that he could do it, but that he will not.
“The pain is indescribable. My children have to live with the absence of their father. The Supreme Court has said that they bring Kilmar home. So what are they waiting for? They stop playing political games with the life of my husband,” he said, before the crowd that held banners in favor of their liberation.
Building with the shouts of those present, who chanted slogans against Trump, and the organizers, who showed her love, dedicated a few words to her husband. “Kilmar, if you can hear me: I love you. Keep believing in God. You know that children and I are fighting to return home.”
Before leaving the stand, Vásquez Sura projected the fight for her husband to that of all the migrants who are suffering the persecution of the administration. “Today I am here not only for Kilmar but for the cruel separation of this administration,” he said. “To all who hear me, keep fighting. Not only per kilmar, but for all the families that fight to meet their loved ones,” he said to say goodbye.
Among the public, protesters from different parts of the country showed their dissatisfaction with the Trump administration. They arrived by chanting slogans in English and Spanish. “The united people will never be defeated” and “Trump, shame on you”(What a shame).
Leigh Sneed, citizen of Virginia, carried a banner asking for the exit of the Republican. “He has to leave. Everything he has done is illegal. He has challenged the Constitution and the Supreme Court. He is the most cruel man I have met in my 77 years,” he said.
Next to him someone was spent with a mask that imitated Trump’s face and dressed like a baby diaper. Among the attendees, Brian Rose, a 39 -year -old citizen from Michigan, held a banner that was read: “More than 200 reasons why Trump is a stupid, corrupt, immoral and tyrant.” From it hung three long strips of paper in which written all the offenses that its bearer blames the president are listed. The list is as long as it is varied: the sending of immigrants to Guantanamo, the withdrawal of citizenship by birth, the exit of the World Health Organization and the Paris Agreement on climate change are included among the grievances committed by Trump, according to Rose. “And it is not finished or from afar. I cannot take the account, so I have written them,” he explains.
“Fascist America”
Separated from him a few meters, Tony Guard, Salvadoran, 50, presents the deployment of posters that he has deployed on the ground, supported against a fence. “Trump’s fascist regime must leave now,” reads several. “No!, In the name of humanity we refuse to accept a fascist America,” says another. In another poster, a assembly of an illustration of Hitler, the dictator divides his face with Trump’s. Guard has been in the country for more than 35 years and affirms that they must already know him, because he protests against anti -immigrant policies provided the occasion occurs. He says he is not afraid to pronounce, although he thinks that the situation is risky for all foreigners. “It is normal for people to be afraid, because they can be deported to a country like El Salvador, where they do not respect human rights,” he acknowledges.
To the supreme against Venezuelans
Today, the Department of Justice asked the Supreme Court to suspend the ruling of a federal judge in San Francisco who kept the temporary protection status in force (TPS) for Venezuelans, which was scheduled to expire last month.
The emergency appeal before the highest court occurs the same day that a Texas judge declared illegal applying the 1798 standard that was used to deport Abrego García.
