First, the Trump Administration defied a direct court order and deported Kilmar Ábrego García to El Salvador.
Now, they're trying to deport him to Uganda.
They’re making a mockery of the rule of law.

President Trump vowed to lower electricity bills. But his policies are forcing hardworking families to pay 10% more each month.
That’s on top of him ruining trading relationships with our allies and eliminating green jobs.
President Trump announced he won’t allow Palestinian children to be evacuated to the U.S. for medical treatment.
America has long allowed hospitals to treat innocent children who are victims of war around the world.
This is cruel.
Prime Minister Netanyahu's plan is clear: remove Palestinians from northern Gaza.
A new offensive will not bring back the hostages or feed starving Palestinian children. It will only prolong the suffering.
President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” raises everyday costs.
President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” raises energy bills.
President Trump lost the 2020 election. Mail-in voting is safe and secure.
Trump is pushing lies about our elections because he can’t admit that.
I will block any order that limits the ability of Vermonters to vote.
President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will crush health care in Vermont.
On Tuesday, I visited Snow Farm in South Hero to hear from Vermonters about the impact of President Trump’s policies on the economy.
They shared with me their worry that already high prices are getting even worse because of his actions.
Working families can't afford his agenda.
President Trump is cutting food assistance that working families rely on.
Last month, the U.S. saw the highest inflation in three years.
President Trump is more focused on attacking his political enemies and lining the pockets of his friends.
Working families are paying the price.
More journalists have been killed in Gaza than died during WWl, WWll, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (including Cambodia and Laos conflicts), the Yugoslav Wars, and the Afghanistan War combined.
The U.S. can’t continue to fund Prime Minister Netanyahu’s reckless war plan.
President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” blocks Medicare from negotiating lower prices on three of the leading cancer medications.
He’s giving tax handouts to billionaires while preventing less expensive cancer treatment.
I’ve introduced a bill to repeal this ridiculous measure.
Vermonters: There’s a new program that’s connecting rural folks to broadband by covering the cost of more expensive installations.

In case you missed it, President Trump didn’t like the bad job numbers that came out this month, so he fired the nonpartisan head of the agency that puts together the report.
Now, he’s naming an unqualified architect of Project 2025 as the next Commissioner.
Disgraceful.
President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” rolls back vehicle emission standards, letting manufacturers produce less-efficient cars.
That means the average Vermont household will spend $420 more on gas every year.
It hurts working families so companies can rake in more profit.
President Trump didn’t send in the national guard on January 6 when our Capitol was under attack, but is choosing to now.
D.C. needs to be able to run its own government, not President Trump.
Federalizing Washington, D.C.’s police and deploying the National Guard to our nation’s capital is a power grab and an attempt by President Trump to deflect from the catastrophic damage he’s doing to our economy and hardworking families.
Democrats passed funding so homeowners get a $1,200 tax credit to upgrade their windows or insulation.
It keeps their homes warmer, saves them money on their energy bill, and reduces emissions. Good program, right?
President Trump killed it in his “Big Beautiful Bill.”
