to protect him as much as they protect Jasmine Crockett. No joke. It's enough. This man has been tortured enough.

Also - when this regime falls he has earned a place on the Truth and Reconciliation commission.

The TSF administration is intent on sending him somewhere he doesn't want to go.

Somehow it's gotten lost in the trauma of this.

Pura Vida! Let them go. The Costa Rican people are insanely kind. They will be welcomed there.

"Since Abrego Garcia’s return from wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been re-detained, again without lawful authority," a federal judge wrote Thursday.

A federal judge on Thursday ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to be immediately released from immigration custody.

“Since Abrego Garcia’s return from wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been re-detained, again without lawful authority,” U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis in Maryland wrote in her opinion explaining her order.

“As before, Abrego Garcia’s case demands judicial intervention to ensure that” government officials “choose constitutionally permissible means of implementing” immigration law, she wrote. “Because Abrego Garcia has been held in ICE detention to effectuate third-country removal absent a lawful removal order, his requested relief is proper,” she wrote.

The government illegally sent Abrego to El Salvador in March, then said it would never bring him back him to the U.S., and then returned him to the U.S. in June to face criminal charges for allegedly transporting undocumented immigrants illegally. Abrego has pleaded not guilty to the charges and argued they should be thrown out on the grounds that they’re unconstitutionally vindictive. ,,,

In her ruling Thursday, Xinis said the government didn’t have a lawful order to remove him to a third country, so it can’t justify his continued detention. She wrote that while government officials “may eventually get it right, they have not as of today.”

Preferably to Russia, since the United States clearly isn't for them.

It has been a very long time since I took federal procedure in law school, but I remember that it is never a good ideal to lie to any court and especially not to a federal judge
