No one in my state is in any way 'terrorized' by Abrego Garcia

Bondi: We've [Abrego Garcia] him under control. He will no longer terrorize our country. He is charged with human smuggling. The guy needs to be in prison.

...most of us in my state feel terrorized by a government that would send one of our residents to a death camp; vindictively seizing him again after they were forced to bring him back home; and would send him to a country he has zero association with, away from his family, accusing him of crimes they not only have failed to prove in ANY court, but intend to kidnap him away again to avoid proving their case before an immigration judge stands in their way.

Aside from this being about impressing Trump's asshole cult members, this is also a test case for other residents who the Trump regime wants to similarily abduct and deport wherever they want without any due process proscribed in the Constitution for all 'people' in the country.

1. "Human Smuggling" - according to what I've read he is being accused of driving some laborers to a job site.

We have no idea if any of these accusations are even true because they don't want this to go to trial.

Some person on NPR was saying that Human Smuggling is a horrible crime if he did it. JFC.

4. he was stopped with several people in a car he was driving

...wife and others say he was driving workers to and from job sites at the time.

I have to say, this is the most egregious of charges. It reeks of desperation, and involves nothing but innuendo and basically an indictment against what is, very probably, working men advantaging themselves of transportation because they have dark skin or are of foreign origin.

report:

In 2022, according to a report released by the Trump administration, Abrego Garcia was stopped by the Tennessee Highway Patrol for speeding. The vehicle had eight other people and no luggage, prompting an officer to suspect him of human trafficking, the report stated.

Abrego Garcia said he was driving them from Texas to Maryland for construction work, the report stated. No citations were issued.

Abrego Garcia’s wife said in a statement in April that he sometimes transported groups of workers between job sites, “so it’s entirely plausible he would have been pulled over while driving with others in the vehicle. He was not charged with any crime or cited for any wrongdoing.”

The Tennessee Highway Patrol released video body camera footage this May of the 2022 traffic stop. It shows a calm and friendly exchange between officers and Abrego Garcia as well as the officers discussing among themselves their suspicions of human trafficking before sending him on his way. One of the officers said: “He’s hauling these people for money.” Another said he had $1,400 in an envelope.

An attorney for Abrego Garcia, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, said in a statement after the release that he saw no evidence of a crime in the footage.

6. Oh, for the love of Pete ... WHY Judge Xinis, would you POSSIBLY trust this proven scoundrel Ensign?!?

If your 'oral order' was not enough before in this jerk's mind, then your asking him if the oral order is enough ... well, that still leaves the matter an oral order, doesn't it? Maybe should've put it in WRITING, given that this man's LIFE is at stake, not play paddy-cake with these fascists!

I would also add that after the regime telegraphed their intent to take him right back into custody on Friday, I was really hoping the good people of Maryland and beyond would have rallied en masse to the obvious flash point that the Baltimore ICE building is, to show our solidarity. I was hoping for numbers large enough that they'd have trouble even getting him from the ICE office to some other location.

Guessing nothing even close to that happened?

A federal judge on Monday temporarily barred the Trump administration from deporting Kilmar Abrego Garica to Uganda, pending a further hearing, NBC News reported.

The temporary reprieve from U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis during a hearing on Monday afternoon came quickly after Abrego was detained on Monday morning when he reported to immigration authorities in Maryland, following his release from criminal custody in Tennessee on Friday. Before his release from criminal custody, the government offered him a plea deal that would have resulted in his deportation to Costa Rica, which, like his birth country of El Salvador, is a Spanish-speaking country in Central America. But after his release, the government said it intended to deport him to the African nation of Uganda. His lawyers then filed a new lawsuit in Maryland to challenge his latest detention and impending removal.

Abrego had been living in Maryland when the government illegally sent him to El Salvador in March, despite a 2019 court order that barred his removal to that country for his fear of persecution there. The U.S. government resisted court orders to return him until June, when it brought him to Tennessee to face charges of unlawfully transporting undocumented immigrants. He pleaded not guilty.

Xinis, an Obama appointee, is the judge who initially ordered his U.S. return.
