Transcript

00:00Good afternoon, my name is Jennifer, I'm the wife of Kilmar.

00:14He is a father, a son, a brother, a family member of the house, and a member of the

00:24smart. Kilmar has been dedicated to making our American dream in reality.

00:33That dream was destroyed the 12th of March when he was

00:41stolen and disappeared by the government of the United States in front of

00:475 años. Hoy son 34 días de su desaparición. Me presento ante ustedes llena de un espíritu

01:05que se niega a rendirse. No dejaré de luchar hasta ver a mi esposo vivo.

01:17Quilman, si puedes escucharme, mantente fuerte. Dios no se ha olvidado de ti. Nuestros hijos

01:31preguntan cuándo volverás a casa y oro por el día que pueda decirles la hora y la fecha

01:44de tu regreso a salvo. Mientras continuamos en la Semana Santa, mi corazón duele por

01:55mi esposo, quien debería estar aquí lidiando nuestras oraciones de Pascua. En lugar de

02:04eso, se encuentra suplicándole a la administración de Trump y la administración de Bukele que

02:14dejen jugar juegos políticos con la vida de Quilman. Nuestra familia está descarada con

02:27este tiempo. Nuestros hijos extrañan tanto a su papá. A pesar de los desafíos que siguen

02:37enfrentando por parte de los gobiernos de Estados Unidos y El Salvador, espero que la fortaleza

02:43de nuestra fe y la residencia dentro de nosotros nos mantengan de pie. Después de todos los golpes

02:51que seguimos recibiendo, nuestra capacidad para luchar contra estos gobiernos es un testimonio de

03:00espíritu de lucha y resistencia que Dios no los ha dejado. Seguimos manteniendolos firmes y nunca

03:11lo rendiremos contigo, Quilman. A pesar de que mi corazón está pesado, encuentro esperanza y fuerza en quienes me rodean.

03:27He sentido el apoyo de nuestra comunidad, mis hermanos y hermanas de casa, líderes y miembros

03:36sinicatos sinicatos de SMART y nuestra comunidad de fe, aliados y continuamos de pie con nosotros.

03:45Oro para que la misma fuerza comunitaria que me ha elevado fluya a través de la jueza, apoyándola

03:54para que diría el poder hacia la justicia. Quilman necesita volver a casa,

04:06y es hora que veamos que esto se cumpla.

04:12Ya es suficiente. Mi familia no puede

04:16no puede ser despojada de otro día sin ver a Quilman.

04:25Esta administración ha tomado tanto de mis hijos,

04:28de la madre de Quilman, y de su hermano y sus hermanas, y de mí.

04:37Good afternoon. My name is Jennifer. I am Kilmer's wife. He is a father, a son, a brother,

04:54and a proud member of Casa and SMART Union member who has dedicated himself to make our family's American dream reality.

05:04That dream was shattered on March 12th when he was abducted and disappeared by the United States government

05:11in front of our five-year-old child. Today is 34 days after his disappearance and I stand before you filled with spirit

05:24that refuses to bring down.

05:28I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive.

05:39Kilmer, if you can hear me,

05:42stay strong.

05:45God hasn't forgotten about you.

05:47Our children are asking

05:50when would you come home

05:53and I pray for the day I tell them the time and date that you'll return.

06:00As we continue through Holy Week,

06:03my heart aches for my husband

06:04who should have been here leading our Easter prayers.

06:11Instead, I find myself

06:13pleading

06:14with the Trump administration

06:16and the Bukele administration

06:18to stop playing political games

06:22with the life of Kilmer.

06:26Our family is torn apart

06:28during this scary time

06:30and our children's missed their dad so much.

06:41Despite the challenges we continue to face

06:44with the U.S. and the Salvadorian government

06:46I hope that the strength of faith

06:49and the resilience within us

06:51will keep us standing

06:52after all the punches we continue to receive.

06:57Our ability to fight back

06:59against these governments

07:00are testimonies to the spirit

07:02of fight and

07:03restraint that God has given us.

07:06We will continue standing strong

07:09and we will never give up on you, Kilmer.

07:19Even though my heart is heavy

07:21I find hope and strength

07:25and those around me

07:27I feel an overwhelming support

07:32from our communities

07:34our brothers and sisters from Casa

07:36leaders and members from SMART

07:39our faith in Ali communities

07:44who continue to stand with us

07:46and I pray

07:48that the same

07:50community strength

07:51that has lifted me

07:52flows through those judges

07:54supporting

07:55her to bend the power

07:58towards justice.

08:01Kilmer needs to come home

08:03and it's time we see

08:05how exact this will be fulfilled.

08:10Enough is enough.

08:13My family can't be robbed

08:15from another day

08:16without seeing Kilmer.

08:19This administration

08:20has already taken so much

08:23from my children's

08:24from Kilmer's mother
