Democrats demand proof that deported gay asylum-seeker is still alive
Briefly

Fifty-two Democratic lawmakers, led by Robert Garcia, are urging Secretary of State Marco Rubio to verify the well-being of Andry Hernández Romero, a gay hairdresser deported to El Salvador amid U.S. crackdowns. In a letter, they request that he receive legal assistance and re-entry into the U.S. Garcia emphasized the unique aspects of Romero's case, asserting that the U.S. failed to uphold its values, especially during Pride month when advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights is prominent. Rallies supporting Romero have occurred in California, demanding immediate humanitarian action.
No mother should have to worry that their child will be forcibly disappeared from the United States without due process or whether their son is even alive and healthy because of the actions of the United States government.
Pride month is an opportunity to highlight his story even more. The more folks learn about it, the more they'll put pressure on the administration and homeland security to do the right thing.
