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 dÃas de su desaparición. Me presento ante ustedes llena de un espÃritu
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 dÃa 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 deberÃa estar aquà 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 polÃticos con la vida de Quilman. Nuestra familia está descarada con
02:27este tiempo. Nuestros hijos extrañan tanto a su papá. A pesar de los desafÃos 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
03:00espÃritu 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, lÃderes 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 dirÃa 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 dÃa 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 mÃ.
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
08:26brother
08:28sisters
08:30and me.
