Ramirez, in a letter to House Homeland Security Committee chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) first obtained by Axios, requested he authorize an official CODEL to El Salvador.

    The delegation will not be allowed to see him or take his body back. Because no matter this guy’s status, it’s in the best interest of many that he never be seen again.

    But the politicians going there will make pretty speeches which will have zero insight about how to stop others from meeting the same fate.

    Perhaps those in congress, while making regular trips back and forth to help him and others, can be supported by public contributions, or even help for their campaigns later? Not that they would ask, of course. But others have, I have seen it.

    All the politicians making a profit from this should give a percentage to his family, it’s only fair
