Fox 17 Nashville reports that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from criminal detention in Tennessee and is on his way home to Maryland. “Today, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free,” his attorney, @sean-hecker.bsky.social, said in a statement. fox17.com/news/local/k...
The entire case against him boils down to “there’s a video clip of him in a car with some people”.
I hope he sues the fuck out of the government and wins.
A measure of justice for him finally
About time. And I hope he dies the fuck out of the government
Because he never did anything wrong! Trump gets to break any law he wants, but don't dare prosecute the a-hole.
And about to be deported again, this time to Uganda
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).
They have all the rights of the constitution
Again IANAL but I’m not sure that’s true. My understanding is that undocumented immigrants can be subject to deportation and have few options to fight that (TBC I think the constitution should protect them!)
Yeah immigration is mostly a lawless hellscape
You are a lawyer, unlike me, so you have much more credibility here than I do, and that’s unfortunately what I thought
I'm not even an immigration lawyer, an actual immigration lawyer could talk your ear off for hours about how it's a lawless hellscape
Yes, I’ve seen some of them on here do exactly that
Nowhere in the constitution does it say “citizens” it does say “persons”
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
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.
Trump's Martial Law to be extended to Maryland before Chicago now...
Good...now they need him to leave him alone.
He will be disappeared...
I’m now reading that they plan to deport him to Uganda on Monday?
I wonder if ICE will be waiting for him in Maryland?
But didn't the puppy killer insist he'd never walk free in this country again? Hmmm...
Have they admitted he wasn't a member of MS13 yet?
Also, headed to Uganda?
😊😊❤️💙 this is fantastic
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.
What’s the over/under on how long before they grab him again?
Only a fool would make that bet. They're ABSOLUTELY going to arrest him the moment they see him. He's commited the unthinkable crime against the facist regime. Existing while Hispanic. The even worse heresy of survivng his first deportation will be punished by him not surviving the second. Fuck ICE
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.
Finally, some good news. Did someone check to see if his photoshopped tattoos were still on his fingers?
Yes!! It's way past time for this man to be home to his family. This good news will carry me thru the weekend!
Congrats to him. Enjoy your family. What an embarrassment this government is.
Hallelujah.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free…!!
So law works there still? Some relief
FOX left out the word "bogus". "This comes after a U.S. magistrate judge was expected to grant the release Friday as he awaits trial on federal human smuggling charges."
Huge W for Maryland!! Kilmar was actually a model citizen who didn’t do anything wrong, don’t listen to the Nazis posting proof he is an abuser or criminal, it’s all fake and he is actually an angel and good citizen according to experts actually
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.
I hope he sues the pantsuit off Pam Bondi
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.
Fuck Fox! You’re part of the problem!
~clap~clap~clap~
So happy for the Garcia family, but, how many other innocent men are being abused in these concentration camps
I wonder if ICE will be waiting for him in Maryland?
That’s what I’m thinking
I think that's why his legal team hired personal security for him. Now let's get the others released!
Time to sue.
Someone tell no-lip KKKaroline - didn't she say never?
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.
Let’s see 🧐 $100 million dollar lawsuit?
Even better
How about a $45 billion dollar lawsuit to bankrupt DHS?
This is finally what due process is all about
That story was so badly covered on Nashville News, ugh.
Time for civil suits! The billions allocated to ICE should be reserved for all the payouts they will have to make for their victims.
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.
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.
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.
Many of them were from Venezuela, and those (130+-) were sent to Venezuela last month (I think). Many are just stuck in the El Salvador gulag. The world is not safe with this regime in power.
Thanks. I thought I had that right, and having it right, pleased as I am for this one individual, I've been worried all along that for all the focus being on him so many others equally deserving could slip through the cracks, an effective win for Trump. That seems to have happened. 😞
It's true. Kilmar's case was unusually badly handled because he had a court order protecting him feom being sent to one country: El Salvador. If he were truly a danger to the community, they could have lined up the ducks to legally send him somewhere else, and he'd be gone for good.
Many thanks for the history on this. It makes it much more comprehensible.
They were in such a hurry to #disappear people that they cut corners, made errors, and wound up spending way more time, money, and credibility than they would have. The courts are quickly turning against the "presumption of regularity" that DOJ built over centuries of generally decent behavior.
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
But will he be safe?
No. Read the order from the judge.
Justice may sometimes be slow, but Justice has been done. The regime should be held accountable for lies and crimes for his detention. 🙏❤️💕
Yay!
Emergency asylum for him to Canada!
Go get #BenCrump! He will hook you up for the rest of yo life!
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!
I agree. 100%
Same
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.
They're already saying they're going to deport him to Uganda.
Yep, confused about this
He needs a good lawyer & back pay from HHS!
I hope he gets a billion dollars for what those assholes have put him through!
Good news! Sadly, Trump will treat others the same way.
I really hope ICE doesn't pick him up again. I wouldn't put anything past Blondie.
Oh jeezus.
Hopefully he can stay free
'Bout time!
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]
I understand ICE is ready to arrest him when released?
Let the lawsuit begin!
Slow justice system but grateful he’s free!
PSTD for life. He needs to sue this administration.
I saw this and almost cried. Only God knows what's next for this man, but I pray for justice and protection.
Until the DOJ makes up more shit trying to save face.
Yay!
Now why was that so hard.
Hoping ICE/DHS doesn't make up another pretext to abduct him.
About time
Is there any way he can be insulated from harassment?
Now do everyone else who was illegally detained/kidnapped
It’s about time- poor wife, kids, him!
Link leads to a 404 page. And it’s a Fox site.
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.
Finally!!!!!!!!!!
Nice!!!
Fire up the law suits Kilmar!
Crusty Gnoem will find a way, you can bet her plastic surgery on that!
Sue the tight pants off DHS!!
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!
bsky.app/profile/anit...
About fucking time. He never should have been arrested in the first place. Trump is a criminal.
Here you go, Trump, you worthless bag of bile. Suck on it.
Finally 💙💙💙
It didn't have to be that way
So glade he can see his family sleep in his bed.
He should seek asylum in Canada and then start the lawsuits. He cannot assume they’re just gonna let him walk around free
I was going to say the same. Hell, I’ll host him and his family if it keeps him safe
bsky.app/profile/jjin...
Please let him get home safely and may he continue to be safe and find peace.
bsky.app/profile/colo...
Turns out Pam Bondi was wrong about Kilmar never coming home.
It will be nice to lock Bondi and the whole Trump cabal so they never go home.
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. 🤷🤬
They put that man through hell. All for nothing.
But I was told he had some MS-13 tattoos on his hands and that made him the most dangerous man alive? 🤔
Protect him Community. Kristi and Pam have orders.
What took so long?
What an ordeal he’s been through. For five months. Poor guy.
I really hope that he's free and won't be arrested the minute his back home. 🙏🤞
I hope he and his family makes a bee-line for our 🇨🇦Canadian border seeking emergency asylum because they plan to deport him to Uganda within 72 hours 😢 bsky.app/profile/airm...
He already was “home” in El Salvador.
Five months. Unconscionable.
Take that, you corrupt fascists.
Waist of time and money. The republican party is a party of waist.
So now we see if ice complies and gives him 72 hr notice before disappearing him again.
They're already threatening to deport him in 3 days to Uganda
I want to see his knuckles ASAP.
🎉🎉🎉
I hope he can sue the F out of the Trump administration.
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.
Speaking his mind became a crime, trumped up charges via king Trumpy. And, The Dept of Government Weaponized..
Who’s got a spare attic?
Finally! Thankfully!! Thankful for good lawyers and other committed to seeing it through
Great news
Fucking finally. I can’t wait for full accountability for this disgusting injustice.
He should write a book!
Now, ICEholes are hunting him per Noem's edict.
Time to suing
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?
youtu.be/-IRWngt1cgg?...
Oh yeah, that will never happen… ‘member that?
trumped up human smuggling charges will be dismissed as soon as pam bimbo can make up a lie about why.
Best news today!
Not really. Now he's vulnerable to being picked up by ICE and shipped out again. They've said they'll do as much which was why his lawyers asked that he be left in custody ... to be protected from the DOJ
Your last claim seems inconsistent with the statement of his lawyer today: "He is presently en route to his family in Maryland, after being unlawfully arrested and deported, and then imprisoned... He is grateful that his access to American courts has provided meaningful due process."
Oh.. and for sure Heather Cox Richardson.
You can Google it. It was all over alt media podcasts. I'm pretty sure Meidas, Legal AF, as well as Brian Taylor Cohen, and Justice Matters did episodes about it.
Understand. Has been in their crosshairs for a while now. All speaks to a precarious, untenable situation. We shall see.
Didn’t Bondi and Noem say he’d never be a free man in the US again?!!
So when does he sue bondi ?
That dude is in danger.
I was told by a very smug blonde lady that this would never happen.
Well we pulled thru some loopholes, and now thankfully he’s back living in the community, his behavior and his deeds will continue to go on! What deeds would those be? Well…
What deeds?
Well uhhhh uhmmm the Nazis claim that he a wife abused and a gang member but that’s just AI generated misinformation
Counting the days for her and the rest of the Stepford wives imbreed albino mafia to go to jail.
Which very smug blonde lady? There are so many of them.
I think it was the one that has a husband twice their age. Although that description may not help much.
It's a start, thank you.
Yeah, the malignant fake Christian. I'm so glad she's wrong again. (Still?)
Oh, they might still try and apprehend him. They gotten far more brazen. Just an ongoing nightmare for immigrants and citizens who come to their aid.
Of course he needs to leave the country. Who the he’ll wants someone like him here. He broke the law multiple times. Trafficking , domestic abuse. You people are cracked in the head, honestly. Let him come live next door to you, let’s see what happens then
My thoughts exactly, like who would stop them? He’ll probably be in custody for something else next week
Let's hope not. I think his legal case has made his profile high enough for the jackals to back off now, but I've been wrong about ICE before.
I think they’re now saying they are going to be deporting him to Uganda on Monday so yeah, dont think they care about optics anymore
I would request asylum to Canada.
Oh no!
I hope for the same.
And the very people in communities she thought might make that little bullshit prophecy come true (a black male, a “short haircut butch” et al— ie the judges) made sure that it didnt. That’s beautiful. Nothing beautiful about the situation but just wanted to highlight that.
They’re trying to deport him to Uganda on Monday. Might have released him just to make it easier.
He needs our protection from the MAGAgots
So, we now just torture people and make them lose everything- only to say, “Okay, we are done with you?” It’s all about control. All of it.
$10 says trump has him monitored 24/7, and will be happy to use him to distract from Epstein in any way necessary.
Stop it! For real? That's wonderful news. I have no idea if he's a good guy or not, but everything that has happened to him this year has been so clearly wrong.
He needs to sue the hell out of the government.
Till they arrest him again on Trumped up charges!!
I hope he sues the shit out of every complicit soul. Enjoy your life, Mr. Garcia!
He's still not out of the woods. He needs to win his court case.
Ugh! With the Trump administration every lovely, fluffy cloud has a lining made of rancid feces.
They arrest him again, watch
I was just thinking that same thought!!
It would be sweet, but they'd just deport him again. It's a miracle they allowed him to return at all
I came here to say this very thing.
He can file suit from Uganda. He’s gone in 72 hours.
It’s kind of quaint that you think the American justice system might still be functional.
You’re right, we should all just lay down and die and hope for the best.
sometimes it works ! bsky.app/profile/kyle...
Garcia was literally just freed from illegal imprisonment by using that system.
Trying to get between a bluesky user and a chance to be condescending is like trying to get between a lion and a slab of raw meat.
bsky.app/profile/anna... And that, pretty much, is that…
Because of course Trump is going to stop right now and the system isn’t going to deteriorate any more. If the Feds were to grab Garcia tomorrow, what would stop them? I don’t think you quite realise just how bad things have become. From outside, it appears the autogolpe is well underway.
Oh, I understand. Doomerism does nothing but make people complacent. We have to keep using all the tools we have, including the courts. Feel free to give up, I refuse.
To answer your question: bsky.app/profile/klas...
Large parts of it are still functional
Lol.
The parts that convict us for horrible crimes like protesting and basic first amendment speech against the govt.
Who has been convicted for protesting?
They don't charge you with "protesting" it's distubing the peace, or some other bullshit charge. come on
If it’s a bullshit charge it’s likely to get dropped because they can’t get an indictment.
Seems like DOJ is having difficulty indicting people on bullshit charges. www.wusa9.com/article/news...
?? that just means no bail, they are still getting a jury to indict him on enhanced assault charges.
They have less than 30 days to try to indict him and they’ve tried twice already and failed. The judge called their baseless charges excessive. It’s not happening.
I know that college students, both domestic and foreign, can attest to be punished and expelled for protesting genocide.
They weren’t convicted. Being convicted would have meant due process. Those that did have due process like Khalil were able to prevent being deported.
Khalil got lucky, on many levels. How many innocent people are sitting in El Salvador right now without any recourse? We got two people back out of hundreds. No sentence, just prison forever until death. You don't have to stick up for our corrupt courts, you know.
You haven’t been keeping up. Most were released from El Salvador. Bukele was taking too much heat for it. Venezuela cut him and deal and Venezuelan citizens were returned.
I’m trying to explain reality to you and you’re claiming I’m “sticking up for corrupt courts”. 🙄🤦♀️ Time for you to log off and touch grass.
I didn’t say “convicted.”
They did 👇 That’s the post I responded to bsky.app/profile/afop...
They are not me. I offered a pivot where protests have had consequences. Trump administration is still seeking to punish universities that don’t crack down on campus protests. This shouldn’t be China.
You’re so close to working out what’s next…
Let’s focus on facts of what’s happened rather than your predictions
OK, how about every SC opinion released since summer of 2022. Add them together, there is no future for democracy / liberals in this country. They have pre-conceived opinions and then back track to rationalize them. Equaling protection for the biggest criminal in our countries 250 years.
functional for whom?
probably just rich white cis males that's it 🙃
www.forbes.com/sites/alison...
They make the legally accurate decision but their enforcement is severely limited.
This and anything that makes it to SCOTUS goes in Trump's way for the most part.
For now, thank Goddess.
Which State are you in? I can't remember.
Oh, I’m just hanging out here with Pritzker. 😂
I am glad you have a good governor! I'm in Ontario (good) but we have Doug Ford (garbage).
For the moment. As long as the government can be bothered going to SCOTUS, in which case they can do what they like. I’m quite surprised this have gotten so bad so quickly. I didn’t expect troops on the streets of DC and other cities until Spring next year.
I told my wife months ago that the military would be on the streets by the 4th of July. She didn’t believe me.
SCOTUS can only take a very small percentage of cases. Elsewhere, Trump is losing in the courts the vast majority of the time.
I hope he sues the shit out of every complicit soul. Enjoy your life, Mr. Garcia Reading this while my own sister is fighting for her life is bittersweet she’s very sick right now and we’re struggling to get her treatment. If anyone can help us, here’s our Chuffed
chuffed.org/project/1364...
That doesn’t mean we give up
It's kind of fatalistic that you think the long, patient arm of the law couldn't change.
The fact that he is back on American soil is proof that parts still do work.
They are sending him to Uganda.
The Supreme Court is borked but the federal judges still care.
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???
Trump may target him again? Do not be surprised!
Proposal to the citizens... Kilmar and his family never have to by a plate of food, ever again
Give us an address or a legit gofundme.
Unfortunately, im technologically challenged. I didn't use social media for 13 yrs. Just joined 3 months ago, out of anger. I'm still not sure if I'm using this app correctly. I don't understand if there is etiquette here. Like, are long responses rude? Do you only cuss, when others are doing it?
And I've literally have never seen a gofundme page. Just heard about it's popularity. Atm, for certain reasons, the only way I can contribute is to be a one man left wing propaganda think tank
Up to you, length of responses. As far as swearing goes, I have no problem with it. No one else seems to either. We are all mad as hell and not gonna it anymore, to quote the guy yelling out the window in the movie Network
*insert South Park Kristi Noem face melt gif
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.
Now let’s get some state police protection on his home. Armed swat team
Until their next BS move.
How long does it take? This is some fascist state Republicans are building.
He was kidnapped months ago. Who is going to pay for all that time and costs?
🥹 finally.
That took long enough...
The Trump regime is evil, but they are also weak and lazy and stupid. They will crack under the pressure of a long fight and give up.
Im sure he'll wait until Trump is out of office, but he is going to be a millionaire one day.
They sure taught him not not be latino.
What an arduous and painful detour!
La vida esta dificil. [user.deported.nsa]
Let's see if he gets there. He's definitely a boil the administration wants to lance
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.
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.
Thank God he’s out & going home. Pray 🍊felon & his criminal staff will leave him alone. Forever.
Time to lawyer up and sue 'em!
🫶🏽
Now it’s time to sue for damages.
What a shame on this country.
I hope he sues the shit out of the Trump administration for unlawful restraint.
Praise God!!❤️
I hope Mr. Garcia isn’t deported.
May he stay free, and if he doesn't may the tangerine toddler take his place
Poor guy. Geez. Sue the Feds
So… they put him through hell for nothing
Isn’t ICE just going to seize him?
Shame on all those who caused generational trauma to this family. Enjoy Karma.
All that infrastructure & money spent by ME & other US taxpayers COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED if the US LAWS had been followed.
Finally!!! 💙
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.
Praise the LORD!
In here, before ICE arrests him again, because law doesn't matter anymore
So glad to hear Kilmar Abrego Garcia is finally free. Wishing him peace and strength as he returns home to his family.
Oh noooo… now ICE will be able to snatch him up and deport him.
And just like that, he’s been arrested by ICE again already. 8/25/25.
Coward ice getting him back 🤮🤮🤮
Wonder if ICE are waiting for him...
😢 bsky.app/profile/airm...
Didn't they say if he was released they would deport him again? I want to be happy but I'm nervous
Me too, but I want him to be able to sue the shit out of the people involved in this debacle, personally sue the individuals involved.
Thank God
