00:00El vicepresidente J.D. Vance es un mentiroso cuando dijo que Kilmer había cometido un delito.
00:11Una jueza del estado de Maryland dijo que el arresto de Kilmer era un acto ilegal violentando el estado de derecho.
00:23Kilmer es un trabajador de la construcción y apoya financieramente, moralmente a su familia y por eso estamos aquí.
00:34Now we're going to hear from the representatives of the Kilmer families.
00:41It's Glenn Ivey from the state of Maryland.
00:46Thank you very much to the family.
00:48I thank you for being strong.
00:49You're making a huge difference here, as Chris pointed out.
00:53Let me get this straight.
00:55The government admits that they made an error.
00:59The lawyer who comes into court agrees with that and acknowledges it.
01:04And we know that that was bothering the Trump administration because they punished him for having said the truth when he was in court.
01:11But then they go to the press conference room and engage in character assassination and lies.
01:17I think it's time for them to put up or shut up.
01:19Bring him back.
01:20Let's get him in court.
01:21Have the day in court.
01:23The Supreme Court's had some rulings that came out where the Trump administration is pretending like they're ruling in their favor.
01:30But every ruling so far has said, you get a day in court.
01:34Let's have the day in court.
01:35And I think if we get that chance again, it'll be just like the lawyer that's on suspension right now.
01:40They'll have to acknowledge they lied about his character.
01:43They attacked his character wrongly.
01:45We'll have to point out to them, too.
01:47The sheet medals, he's working.
01:49He's here in the community.
01:50He's following the court order that he was under at the time.
01:53And instead of doing that, they're trying to leave him in a prison in El Salvador with the gang that he said that he needed to get away from.
02:02They sent him to the most notorious prison in the Western Hemisphere.
02:05It's shocking.
02:06It's horrible.
02:07It's tragic.
02:08And it needs to change immediately.
02:10So we stand with you in support.
02:12We're going to keep fighting for it with you.
02:14And I hope that sooner or later, the rule of law will prevail and we'll win this case and he'll come back.
02:20Thank you so much.
