NEW reporting from the NYT: “A Bukele aide placed the two glasses with cherries and salted rims on the table in front of Mr. Van Hollen and Mr. Abrego Garcia in the middle of their meeting in an attempt to stage the photo.”

In a deeply disturbing social media post, President Bukele then…

…proclaimed “Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the ‘death camps’ & ‘torture,’” was “now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!”

Bukele also maintained Abrego Garcia would be “staying in El Salvador’s custody.”

Illinois continues to be a sanctuary state in many different ways:

Illinois continues to serve more out-of-state abortion patients than any other state. The study points to the state’s geographic location and the efforts of state government, abortion providers and support organizations that create a robust infrastructure for abortion care, allowing it to be an access point for the South and Midwest.

“Illinois is carrying a staggering share of the national need for abortion care – and the latest data confirms what we see at the Chicago Abortion Fund every single day,” Chicago Abortion Fund Executive Director Megan Jeyifo said in a statement.

The Chicago Abortion Fund, which provides financial, logistical and travel support for people seeking abortion care, fielded more than 16,000 requests from people in 41 states last year. The organization didn’t turn away anyone who was relying on Illinois for care, according to Jeyifo.
