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."

Great news!!!
Hey... did you know that... John Kerry... was in Vietnam?
I must have missed that scene in Star Trek 2 where Khan was wearing a suit.
Thank you, Lord.
Won’t have time to read through the comments here until tomorrow, but, am I the only one cynical enough to wonder if this sudden change of heart was prompted by the potential consequences of the murder of those 3 Americans in Mexico just recently?
Fantastic,Tahmooressi released!
I am sure president Obama will give him a shout out to come to the White House for a celebratory beer.
Thank you so much President Obama and John Kerry for all the hard work in securing Tahmooressi’s release!
This was a key effort on the part of the Obama administration to return to a bipartisan approach in American government!
( This is how the MSM spin will spin this)
Amen.
If they get invited, they should decline—Obama doesn’t deserve the photo-op.
All the while greasing more palms with larger amounts until it was deemed enough for "justice" to prevail.
Obama will probably have him arrested and sent back to Mexico.
I would argue that the Mexicans were asked by the State Department to hold on to him until three days or so before the election so Messianic glory could develop from his release.
He shouldn’t go to the W.H.
I’m glad his torture is over.
He needs rest.
Yes! I knew the marines would pull it off somehow. God bless him and all who helped!
Bamo takes credit for this in 3....2....1
Obama won’t find out about it until Sunday - the next time he watches the news.
Yes, Greta deserves most of the credit on this story. Other Fox News reporters also helped keep his story alive.
Thanks Fox News! Thanks Greta!
He didn’t break their law. He told them at the border he made a wrong turn and he had guns since he had all his belongings in his car. He was not trying to sneak into the country with weapons. He couldn’t see the temporary sign they had put off due to construction. He only realized he was in the wrong lane when it was too late to change lanes.
Mexico is definitely worse than here and their citizens should vote to arm themselves against the criminals who have taken over the country.
Although you do have a good point. Obama is trying to turn this once great country into a third rate lawless country with the criminals in charge.
Great news.
And right before Election Day....coincidence??? I think not
All I can think is "wait until he is out of the country... Please just wait".
