Senator Ed Markey made a powerful statement at the No Kings event in Boston.
He wore a trans pride flag around his neck like a scarf and said:

Secy of #State #MarcoRubio, in a March 13 phone call with Salvadoran President Nayib #Bukele, promised the request would be fulfilled….But there was one obstacle: Some of the MS-13 members Bukele wanted were “#informants” under the #protection of the US govt, Rubio told him.
We went to #NoKings with my mother-in-law. Her father was in a Nazi prison camp as a resister, & survived. She & her husband escaped Czechoslovakia in the 1960s, traveled by ship from Germany to NY as refugees. Arrived in NY harbor in the morning fog, which lifted to reveal, the Statue of Liberty. 🇺🇸

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists. https://trib.al/JrW3vOA
