On Friday afternoon, family spokesman Jonathan Franks told the AP that captive Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi will be released from a Mexican prison immediately, per a judge's order.
Sgt. Tahmooressi served two tours in Afghanistan and was back home in the United States when he inadvertently crossed the border into Mexico while his legally purchased and legally owned guns were in his truck. He was imprisoned in Mexico and has been there for almost 8 months. After the judge made the ruling, which did not address the question of guit or innocence of the charges against him, the family issued a statement.
"It is with an overwhelming and humbling feeling of relief that we confirm that Andrew was released today after spending 214 days in a Mexican jail."
Tahmooressi's plight has been the subject of much scrutiny and has garnered support from around the nation and the halls of Congress, some of whom have commented already on his release.

That’s right - thank the Lord and damn Øbola!
Just in time for the elections.
Thank you, Jesus!
News reports tonight said the weapons he had in the car were loaded.
Doesn’t that present legal problems for him in California?
I’m anticipating trouble, not promoting it.
It would actually be pretty stupid for any LEO or U.S. agency bring that up.
Don’t think that the timing of this release isn’t politically motivated. Worse than doing nothing, Obama’s political machine kept Tahmooressi there for MONTHS longer than necessary for their political gain. This is no coincidence.
Thank the Lord that he was able to get out of that sewer called Mexico all in one piece.
Agreed
“And no thanks to Obama, who didn’t lift a finger.”
Obama and Holder are both evil pieces of NS.
He is no longer a pawn pn this particular chess board.
It does. It also poses problem for him as to type of weapons he was possessing in California.
Anyone find this highly suspicious that he is released mere days before the election?
It does. It also poses problem for him as to type of weapons he was possessing in California.
Nothing will happen.
Greta will be HAPPY! (Greta’s happy ending!)
I hope you are correct. Obola could have helped him, but, did not.
He has disdain for military and gun owners.
Of course. 4 days before the mid-terms. Look for the king to hold a news conference to take credit.
Thank the Lord this Marine is out of that hell hole.....FINALLY!
Will Obama invite him to the WH for a Hug ?
Only because the gun-grabbing politicians don’t want to pi$$ off voters even more, at this juncture.
The number of people that would believe that this was a result of Obama’s efforts could fit in a phone booth.
