We call on the Trump administration to bring Andry back, give him the due process he was denied, and prove his innocence in court. #DueProcess4All #FreeAndry #justiceforandry #BringThemBack

Anderson Cooper 360°@AC360
A male, gay makeup artist accused of being a violent gang member by the Trump administration because of his tattoos was deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Anderson speaks with the man's attorney, who says the evidence doesn't support the government's case.

Thank you for speaking truth into Andry's name @RepBeccaB. Andry is not a threat to this country, he is an artist who sought safety in the U.S. In return he was put on a plane to ES' CECOT where he likely languishes as a gay man. 🚨Due process for all, NOT optics over evidence.
Rep. Becca Balint@RepBeccaB
If due process is denied for anyone, it can be denied for you too. If anyone can be snatched off the streets, detained, and deported without due process, it can happen to you too. We demand due process is upheld for every single person.

Reminder that this is Andry. He is a professional makeup artist from Venezuela. He has no criminal history. He has been in a theater troupe since he was 7 and loves pageants. His family is distraught and misses him. He is sitting in a cell in El Salvador tonight. #FreeAndry

Demand your legislators that they vote NO on the Defund Our Communities Act -- This is yet another dangerous, anti-immigrant bill that is being rushed through Congress. We must stop it NOW! If passed, it would harm ALL OF US. Here's how:

The Dream & Promise Act is a critical lifeline for LGBTQ youth protecting them from deportation to countries where they face mistreatment, including violence or death because of their HIV status.
Thank you, @RepSylviaGarcia, for re-introducing this bill. This is a step forward!
Rep. Sylvia Garcia@RepSylviaGarcia
72% of Americans support Dreamers; it’s time for real solutions. Proud to have introduced the American Dream and Promise Act to protect Dreamers and ensure they have the stability they deserve. Congress must act now! #ProtectDreamers
