California Rep. Robert Garcia and 51 lawmakers have called on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to act regarding Andry José Hernández Romero, a gay Venezuelan asylum-seeker missing for over 80 days. Deported to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison under serious allegations of abuse, lawmakers urge urgent wellness checks and legal counsel access for Hernández Romero, emphasizing the U.S. government's accountability for his situation. Having fled persecution, the 31-year-old was legally present in the U.S. prior to his controversial deportation without due process.
We are deeply concerned about the health and wellbeing of Mr. Hernández Romero. No mother should have to worry that their child will be forcibly disappeared from the United States without due process.
The United States government, alone, is responsible for Mr. Hernández Romero's imprisonment.
It's been over 80 days since we've had any proof of life. His story has just really paused the heart.
