  1. The entire case against him boils down to “there’s a video clip of him in a car with some people”.

  2. Finally. I hope he sues for wrongful detention (IANAL and therefore don’t know if that’s even an option, my understanding is immigrants have very few rights under our current laws).

  4. Omgosh! Justice at long last. Now he can gain strength from his family to face another battle with the High Wicked who make up lies and carry out evil instructions.

  5. Way past time. This would never happened in the country we used to be when people had rights. How far the mighty have fallen & left us with the Dickhead in Chief.

  6. Freedom for Kilmar is a long-overdue win, but it also highlights how slow and arbitrary the immigration and detention system can be. Justice delayed is still justice, but it shouldn’t take this long.

  7. I read that 71% incarcerated by the bounty hunters, aka ice, have no criminal record, so this is just the first. Proper thanks to Senator Chris Van Hollen to be the first man to stand up. Now let’s get the rest of these people freed.

  8. I hope he's careful. Innocent or guilty, the administration did it wrong. He's an embarrassment to them now, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he met with an untimely 'accident.' And knowing the hubris of these guys, a bullet wouldn't surprise me either. Stay safe, Kilmar.

  9. Yes!! It's way past time for this man to be home to his family. This good news will carry me thru the weekend!

  10. Abrego Garcia should never have been arrested in the first place.

    But this is what happens when you live in a police state and you can be arrested for the crime of having brown skin.

  11. Keep protesting, never, never, never give up or give in! It took too long, but it worked. Sadly there are many more like Kilmar who need us to keep fighting for justice, to get rid of Trump & his MAGA GOP goons so we can get all the illegally kidnapped people back to their families & communities.

  12. This man has been put through hell and back. Hope he has a wonderful happy life and he is free to enjoy his family life again.

  13. Time for civil suits!

    The billions allocated to ICE should be reserved for all the payouts they will have to make for their victims.

  14. The DOJ and the fucking President of the United fucking States presented as fact a proven doctored photo of this guy to try and swing their bullshit effort to get this man.

  15. This guy didn’t deserve any of this. He’s just a guy that got on somebody, someone in high places, he got on their shit list and they made an example out of him. It was all bullshit from the start.

  16. I'm a Brit and I've not been keeping up with this, so...

    Wasn't he initially arrested and deported with a number of other people who also didn't receive due process?

    What's happened to them?

    I may be conflating different stories here. If so, my apologies.

  17. Glad he’s free but the media shouldn’t be overlooking how he was treated and the made up charges the government used to weaponize the justice system against him

  18. Justice may sometimes be slow, but Justice has been done. The regime should be held accountable for lies and crimes for his detention. 🙏❤️💕

  19. He and his family need to go into hiding, unfortunately. I don't believe they're safe. I hope that changes, but for now I'm very concerned for their safety!

  20. WTF did this man ever do to deserve this level of persecution and bearing of false witness from the most powerful people in this country? The malice and the cruelty for cruelty’s sake disgust me so much.

  21. But 47 wants him deported to Uganda.

    They aren't very happy with you.

    Why, because I didn't die?

    Because you showed them up. This is serious. And not just for you. They don't take these things lightly. [Hunger Games]

  22. Oh this poor man. I can’t imagine the PTSD. Feeling his children hug him, being with his wife, eating good food will rock his world. What has been done to him and his family is unspeakable. I really hope they leave him alone now.

  23. He will need to watch his back. This band of fascist wannabes will come for him again. They hate losing more than anything and will tell any lie that helps them get their way. It’s quite frightening!

  24. Bravo!! 👏

    However, they'll still continue to go after Kilmar Abrego Garcia. DOJ isn't done yet. They'll fabricate another excuse or have ICE thugs hunt him down illegally. 🤷🤬

  25. So now we see if ice complies and gives him 72 hr notice before disappearing him again.

  26. Translation: Garcia was detained, imprisoned, and punished for no genuine reason other than the fact that the government wanted to punish him for being an immigrant/ Hispanic. They had nothing on him but lies, rumors, and crap they made up.

    Shameful.

  27. Mr. Mossberg time. We did it vs. the Nazis in WWII. The Nazis are in the USA's White House now, and in the streets, masked with no id or warrant, no reason to be there except for racism and evil. I know what to do. Do you?

  28. $10 says trump has him monitored 24/7, and will be happy to use him to distract from Epstein in any way necessary.

  29. They still threaten deportation prior to his next trial... Can we do that the Trump gang of thieves while revoking passports and seizing all funds, phones, and electronic devices???

  30. Hmmm... I wonder how many people he can sue for defamation or unlawful imprisonment? Or all the other evil shit they've done to him.

  31. Let's see if he gets there. He's definitely a boil the administration wants to lance

  32. One MD Senator, Chris Van Hollen, has been fighting tirelessly on his behalf. The other, Angela Alsobrooks, is busy championing Israel’s right to commit genocide. She is why people need to invest time in primaries since often in blue states the primary determines the winner in November.

  33. How much money and time is being wasted by this administration of these trumped up shenanigans. To traumatize a human being because you hate brown people.

  34. What this man has been through is horrendous! I hope he has a really good lawyer & sues this admin. for the pain & suffering he's endured. He has been labeled a terrorist & some people will still believe it, so his difficulties are not over, thanks to this fascist admin & corrupt AG.
