A Little Song for Kilmar

First of all, this is not controversial:
Releasing a man who commits no crime—
Even the Gov, which might have been partial,
Ended up saying he deserved no time.

Kilmar Armando Abrego García,
Interned in El Salvador without rights,
Leaving his child no chance to say, “See ya
Mañana,” they just put those guys on flights
Arriving in a place that he had fled.
Remember this, please, don’t leave him for dead.
