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 clients 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 Tahmooressis PTSD in an attempt to win him a humanitarian release."

Great news. May the young man lead another expedition like our forefathers. The Battle of Chapultepec, it’s time once again. Sign me up.

UPDATE:
Live TV from KUSI in San Diego. There is a private plane waiting to take the Sgt and the family home to Florida tonight.
He is on American soil .. according to KUSI.
www.KUSI.com may be running live feed - haven’t checked. They are saying that the plane is at Brown Field (SE of San Diego), and the prison was in Tecate.
Thank you GOD for your mercy for our Marine.
Wonderful news. Prayers answered....if a little tardy!
Jeez, what happened? Did Obama threatened Mexico that we will enforce the border? /s
Holding him was an act of war. IMHO.
Oh - I have almost nothing good to say about the government...here or there, for that matter!
But, as for the citizens? Well, just like in the US...there are many who work hard, love their families and want things to be different and better for their children - that was who I was referencing in my comments!
Prayers answered! :)
Yes and he is dressed as a FAILED president....Michelle is dressed as Jimmy Carter...

“While Barry and countless Dem toadies have been working tirelessly to free the Ebola Nurse from her comfortable home to go shopping, there has been no effort to help get this guy out of prison for making a traffic error. One hopes that voters will register their opinion on this at the ballot box.”
My bet is Obama and Holder worked tirelessly to hold him there as a way to punish believers in the 2nd Amendment.
Bingo. America has its own problems with political corruption without the added influence of importing the culture of corrupt third world countries all over the world. That's what the NYC lawmaker created Immigration Act of 1965 gave us.
Praise the Lord!
I’ll bet obama tries to take credit. I hope he and his parents refuse a meeting with the putz [this is a family forum].
.... How much ya wanna bet this was a last ditch Effort/Phone-call by the Prez to try to save the Mid Terms for the Dems by bolstering the image of the Nobama administration?
