I feel disgust at these bullies. And confirmation that the reason modern Republicans "hate" government so much is because they are utterly incompetent.

I don't suppose there is any redress for Abrego. I'd like to see the next President take some hefty fine money from these R-goons and award it to him.

Thank you for the update on the hassles this young man must go through in order for a want to be tyrant to prove he's a big man with power.

Thanks Adam. How can they deport him when there are pending cases including the criminal and vindictive prosecution cases?

I gotta give it to Ghana, Uganda, and Eswatini. They have more integrity than the United States and our DOJ by not taking Kilmar. And it seems like the DOJ lied?

I saw an interview with Jason Stanley on the Ali Velshi show. He says we are already mid-crisis in the authoritarian take over.

As of this moment, this criminal regime has given no reason for not releasing Abrego. They have never given a single reason why they refuse to admit he was taken "accidentally." I have yet to see a cogent answer to my fundamental question: WHY THIS GUY? He is clearly here legally. The criminal regime has done nothing but torture this man and his family. Their lame reasons shattered under scrutiny. And still, Abrego abides in prison. WHY??

Yes, we have a real Les Miserables hero (is it Jean valJean?) in Abrego Garcia’ s travails. I forget the name of the inspector who had it in for Jean Val Jean.. as I recall at the end of the book the inspector got his comeuppance ; he was so ashamed, he drowned himself in the Seine.

Tragically sad how far our country has fallen because of the corruption of the delusional Felon's gov't. when Uganda, Ghana and Eswatini show more adherence to lawfulness and humaneness than the Felon and his henchmen and henchwomen do.

I remember the name of the inspector in Victor Hugo’s great novel LES MISERABLES

It was inspector Javert.

Thank you for staying on this case. Drew Ensign is an election denier. His Twitter has been cleaned up but he’s spilled the beans that Trump wants military in DC in 2029 to prevent his removal from office.
