We need to set some context for this post before we dive in. Yesterday, the Trump administration secured the release of several American citizens held by Venezuela in exchange for the return of Venezuelan nationals sent to CECOT in El Salvador.
Ten Americans are are their way home from detention in Venezuela! Thanks to @POTUS, @SecRubio, @usembassyve, @aboehler and many others for your support bringing Americans home pic.twitter.com/0lnxkBEZ9S

It was a great move, as Karol Markowicz points out:
This is great. Had Trump sent them straight back to Venezuela we would not have had this bargaining chip to get Americans back. pic.twitter.com/qWG3Mbamvl

You would think that all politicians -- Republican and Democrat -- would welcome this news and express relief that Americans are returning home.
Congressman Robert Garcia must've missed that memo:
We have been in touch with Andry Hernández Romero’s legal team and they have confirmed he is out of CECOT and back in Venezuela. We are grateful he is alive and are engaged with both the State Department and his team.

Really?
This writer checked his timeline again this morning, and there's nothing about the released Americans.
Just Romero, who was an illegal immigrant sent to CECOT.
That's who Rep. Garcia cares about more than his own fellow citizens.

I'm so happy that all the problems in your district are solved so you have the time to focus on illegals.

He's from California, a dumpster fire.
You swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States. When will you start doing that?

Never.
Perhaps you should go and stay in Venezuela to take care of your boy.

Rep. Garcia can have margaritas with him.
Are your constituents in Venezuela? Perhaps you should run for office there since you seem to be more concerned about their citizens.

Venezuela is a communist hellhole, but the Left tells us communism is so great that they have to implement it here. So if it's as wonderful as they claim, why would Romero need asylum?
That's another question the Dems won't answer.
Dude, look at the polling. You aren't representing your constituents. https://t.co/ZTnxrKOnPS

19% approval.
Keep it up, Rep. Garcia.
It’s noticeable how you care more about a Venezuelan illegal immigrant than you do about the Americans released from Venezuelan captivity.
— Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain) July 19, 2025
Very noticeable. https://t.co/TGQe1PHHQ2
Extremely noticeable.
Why the f**k are you stressing about a Venezuelan national and whether he got back to Venezuela?

What's next, are you gonna spend the rest of your term fighting to get him back into America?
Why not represent your constituents, instead? https://t.co/4stG9TbB9B
He probably will.
Gee… I wonder why democrats keep losing. https://t.co/z4vnuo76hj

Total mystery.
Now do one about an American citizen. https://t.co/bO0sh236Nz

He can't.
Oh, Thank God🙄…he’s more concerned about an illegal criminal than an American. https://t.co/6ouD1Tl4rD

That's who the Democrats support.
Never forget that.
