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.

If he is invited to the WH for a photo op, I would hope that his family would “politely” decline due to his state of health...what could Barry say about that?

We should have traded Holder for him. I think he was more valuable than that. We should have traded Criminaliens for him. Ratio would be one Tahmooressi for 20,000,000 Criminaliens.
