So everything they're saying is wrong. My husband is a loving father. And what I know is he's an amazing husband, an amazing father. That's who he truly is.

Yeah.

Came to fill out a protective order. I think it was in December. But I didn't show up to the court because his family like washed my brain telling me that his dad was sick and not to do it. I called 911 from a disconnected phone. Now they took a long time to get to the house. It was probably like 20, 30 minutes. So I saw a neighbor walking his dog and I opened the door and I was like, help.

And then when he heard me, like he grabbed me from my hair and then he slapped me. And then the neighbor, like he didn't know what to do. He didn't know what to react. I have pictures of the evidence, like all the bruises, because even on Wednesday, he hit me like around like three in the morning. He would just wake up and like hit me.

And then last Saturday for my daughter's birthday party, before I went to my daughter's birthday party, he slapped me three times. And then last week I did call the police. My sister called the police because he hit me in front of my sister.

You should fuck off.

I'm not taking any of my questions right now, but here you go.

Yeah.

has labeled him a human trafficker, even an MS-13 gang leader. My husband is a loving father.

Good afternoon.

My name is Jennifer.

I am Kilmer's wife.

He is a father. a son, a brother, and a proud member of CASA and Smart Union member who has dedicated himself to make our family's American dream reality.

That dream was shattered on March 12th when he was abducted and disappeared by the United States government in front of our five year old child. Today is 34 days after his disappearance, and I stand before you filled with spirit that refuses to bring down. I will not stop fighting.

I see my husband alive. Kilmer, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking, when will you come home? And I pray for the day I tell them the time and date that you'll return.

As we continue through Holy Week, my heart aches.

As we continue through Holy Week, my heart aches for my husband, who should have been here leading our Easter prayers. Instead, I find myself... pleading with the Trump administration and the Bukele administration to stop playing political games with the life of Kilmer. Our family is torn apart during this scary time, and our children miss their dad so much.

Despite the challenges we continue to face with the U.S. and the Salvadorian government, I hope that the strength of faith and the resilience within us will keep us standing after all the punches we continue to receive.

Our ability to fight back against these governments are testimonies to the spirit of fight and restraint that God has given us. We will continue standing strong, and we will never give up on you, Kilmar.

Even though my heart is heavy, I find hope and strength in those around me. I felt an overwhelming support from our communities. Wait a minute.

Support. From our communities, our brothers and sisters from CASA, leaders and members from SMART, our faith and ally communities who continue to stand with us.

And I pray.

That the same community strength it has lifted me flows through those judges supporting her to bend the power towards justice.

Look at this. I haven't seen it. I want to see it myself.
