Free at Last! Tahmooressi Released from Mexican Jail
Breitbart ^ | 31 Oct 2014, 5:45 PM PDT | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 10/31/2014 6:22:57 PM PDT by Hoodat

U.S. Marine veteran Andrew Tahmooressi has been released from a Mexican jail, where he had languished for months on weapons charges after crossing the border with three guns in his car earlier this year. Tahmooressi has long maintained his innocence, saying that he made a wrong turn at the Mexican border and was unable to return to the U.S. upon realizing his mistake. His release became a cause célèbre for conservatives nationwide.

The San Diego Union-Tribune notes that Tahmooressi's legal strategy shifted in recent weeks: "He initially pressed for dismissal of the case on the grounds that his client’s rights were allegedly violated when he was held at the El Chaparral Port of Entry for hours without the presence of an attorney or a translator....But in recent weeks, the attorney focused on Tahmooressi’s PTSD in an attempt to win him a humanitarian release."

‘Is he back in the US yet?’

That is the key question.

I hope & pray the answer is ‘yes’.

I hope somebody has his back. I wouldn’t put it past the Mexicans to shoot him and say he escaped.

I just read the FOX headline story on it. No word as to where Tahmooressi is. Until he is definitely on US soil, this is not over.

Prayers he is back across the border and home with his family soon.

The deserter Bowe Bergdahl’s parents were invited tot he White House and given a big platform to talk to the nation publicly.

How many want to bet Tahmooressi’s parents won’t get the same treatment?....

I just read the AP story. It says the Mexican judge ordered an immediate release. It doesn’t give so much as a hint as to where Tahmooressi is right now. We can only hope he’s actually out & en route to the US.
