US says Kilmar brego Garca will 'never go free' after judge orders his release

[Zorro]

The Trump administration said a Salvadoran man who was mistakenly deported and then brought back to the US on criminal charges will "never go free" on American soil, even though a judge ordered his release.

Kilmar Ábrego García was deported in March as part of an immigration crackdown. Government officials said he was removed in error, but they were unable to bring him back.

Earlier this month, he was sent to the state of Tennessee, where the justice department charged him with human smuggling.

The judge overseeing the case said on Sunday that Mr Ábrego García should be released from custody while he awaits trial. But she noted immigration officials would still have the power to detain him.

1. They're persecuting this poor guy just because they can. They don't want to admit they made a mistake

by arresting him and sending him to El Salvador's gulag in the first place.

3. A 'president' with 34 felony convictions lying about a man with none.

He has lied repeatedly about the tatoos that Mr. Garcia does not have.

2. What is wrong with these people!

They don’t have any evidence that he ever committed a crime. They also can’t prove he’s a human smuggler, drug trafficker or gang banger.

Take it to court and PROVE it! Stop trying the case in the newspapers.

Grrrr!

5. They presented evidence to a federal grand jury

That subsequently indicted him. I’m sure we’ll see at some point what that specific evidence is, the police’s body camera footage from that TN stop, the phone data the government is referencing, text messaging application records, the testimony of his alleged co-conspirators, etc. Here’s a link to the indictment if you want to read it.

The co-conspirators testifying against him are interesting, the government has obviously cut them some kind of deal, especially the one Garcia allegedly worked for (and who owned the vehicle he was carrying people with) who is currently serving a sentence in federal prison and has a prior federal conviction for transporting illegal aliens.

Also interesting that the U.S. Attorney for that district resigned reportedly over this indictment which sources say he viewed as political.

4. He will eventually get a pardon.

They are delaying the inevitable

6. This administration is doing Satan's work. Fuck them all.

And especially Trump and Stephen Miller. May they rot in the hottest of hells.

7. Clearly they don't believe in democracy. They don't believe in the rule of law

If he is found not guilty by a jury - do they still plan to send him off to a Gulag?
So trials and juries will mean nothing?
