ICA Action: Demand the Return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia
We are facing a constitutional crisis. On April 10th, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a Salvadoran man who was in the U.S. legally but was secretly and illegally deported to El Salvador over what officials now admit was an “administrative error.”
Instead of complying with the court’s ruling, the administration has defied it. White House officials are claiming it’s “up to El Salvador” whether he returns—ignoring the Supreme Court’s direct order.
Kilmar is now imprisoned in El Salvador. The refusal to follow this ruling signals something terrifying: if the federal government can forcibly remove someone from the U.S., even after a Supreme Court ruling, no one is safe. This is about more than one case—it’s about the collapse of due process and constitutional checks on power. If left unchecked, it means the federal government could disappear anyone—citizen or not—without recourse.
We need members of Congress to speak out, loudly and clearly. This is not a partisan issue—it’s a matter of law, human rights, and democracy.
👉 Use this form to email your members of Congress.
👉 Follow up with a phone call:

Script: Hi, my name is [NAME], and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP]. I’m calling to urge [REP/SEN NAME] to speak out and demand the Trump administration follow the Supreme Court’s order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. No one should be deported without due process—this is a constitutional crisis. This is not a partisan issue—it’s a matter of law, human rights, and democracy. Please act now.
ICA Action: Stop Trump From Killing Democracy Wednesday
Join Indivisible Chicago at Federal Plaza on Wednesday, April 23rd as we call out the many ways that Trump regime and MAGA right are trying to kill our democracy -- and make it clear that we will stop them. We will use a little street theater and all of our voices to defend our democracy, our communities, and our freedoms.
Each day brings more actions by Trump and the MAGA right that directly attack the very principles of our democracy: fair elections, free speech, the balance of powers -- and the list goes on. The illegal and unconstitutional actions of Trump and the MAGA Right have included coercion, disappearances, kidnapping, and retaliation. We need everyone who cares about our city, our nation, and our planet to make their voices heard. Join us and let’s show Trump and Musk that we will not sit by as they attack everything we hold dear.
👉 RSVP to the event on Wednesday, April 23rd at 5:30 p.m.
