The statement quotes Dick Durbin saying "I'm relieved they are free" on social media on 2026-05-02 according to an AOL UK source. Without access to verify the specific social media post or the AOL article, and given the generic nature of the quote without clear referents, I cannot confidently confirm this statement is factually accurate.

The statement cites a date in the future (2026-05-02); no verifiable record exists of Senator Dick Durbin making that remark on social media on that date.

The statement is a direct quote attributed to Senator Dick Durbin on social media, and the source (aol.co.uk) reports that he made this comment, matching the context and date.

The statement is dated May 2, 2026, which is in the future. As of now, there is no way to verify whether Dick Durbin made this statement on that specific date.
