This is how unserious our government leaders are about immigration: A judge in Tennessee is about to release self-professed illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia from jail, even though she knows he’s in the country unlawfully — meaning, he’s a criminal — and knows that when she orders the release he’ll be immediately apprehended by immigration authorities.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes on Sunday ruled that the Trump administration had failed to prove that Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, was a likely flight risk or threat to the public in the run-up to his human trafficking trial. She acknowledged, however, that Immigration and Customs Enforcement would obviously take him into custody the second he’s released from jail, calling her own decision “little more than an academic exercise.”
Recall that Abrego Garcia been already deported to his home country, only for a Democrat-appointed judge to laughably order that the government re-import him to the U.S. That’s despite him having admitted he is not a legal resident, having been identified by authorities as a violent Latin gang affiliate — a suspicion affirmed by a judge — and having been accused multiple times by his wife of physical abuse.
This is the person Barbara Holmes has deemed an unlikely threat to the public and therefore suitable for release from jail while he awaits prosecution for human trafficking. The ruling is another absurd delivery from the Democrats’ final method of thwarting the 2024 election — federal judges (formerly known as “the American judiciary”).
That she called it “little more than an academic exercise” is everything you need to know. Holmes doesn’t take the issue — literally one of life and death — seriously. Or, more infuriating, she does, and her view is the anti-American one of no borders and more crime. It’s not like that’s a particularly uncommon one among leftist judges.
The Trump administration has appealed the judge’s decision, though at some point, these rulings aren’t worthy of being dignified with rebuttals. We’re long past that point, and as the elected executor to uphold the law, President Trump’s duty is to ensure that the homeland is secure and threats to public safety are either incarcerated or removed. A judge can’t be permitted to block a core function of our government’s constitution.
Abrego Garcia is a criminal. A federal judge can’t keep the administration from treating him as such.
Once he was successfully deported why in the world would authorities bring him back to the US??????
HOW ABOUT CHARGING THE JUDGE WITH AIDING & ABETTING???
Activist, agenda driven judges are making completely lawless rulings to stall the Trump Agenda and erode support for his polices.
This is judicially instigated lawfare and the Trump Administraion has to either comply with them and work through he legal system or defy the judges and give them grounds for phony sanctions and a basis for impeachment if the Democrats win Congress in 2028.
I would guess that was because of ignorant judges like this one. I’m no judge or anything close to one, but I think I could make a better decision than this.How come stuff like this isn’t isn’t being investigated & someone fired for dereliction of duty? If they ARE being fired then I never see it in the news.
Because Pam Trayvon. Bondi is a Moron .
Bondi needs to GO .
She let this happen .
She was a crappy FL AG before .
She is a better man than you will ever be.
She is
You aren’t
“Bondi is a Moron .”
Why the hell is Barbie still there? Trump HAS to know that she’s worse than ineffective; she’s counter-productive.
He would be at a better place in his presidency if he had someone at DOJ doing her job. His Legacy is suffering.
I’m glad the court is doing this. It shows how absolutely arrogant these district court judges are. It shows that they are setting themselves up as little dictators. In the long run, its going to be good even if this idiot gets released.
The Democrats and their lawfare judges who openly flout the law are giving the American voter a very stark choice on what type of system they want to live in.
Do we want to live in MAGA America or a corrupt, bankrupt third world shit hole. It's up to us .
Unfortunately foolish American voters have a very low tolerance for good government so I expect America to choose poorly.
I’m not a Bondi hater and I get that she’s got a tough job and everything she does gets second guessed.
I also get that she’s doing a lot we don’t know about.
But this - bringing this guy back- was just flat out dumb.
Chris van Hollen and Boasberg and the rest of them calling for his return
from ElSalvador while Trump and the rest gloated that he would never come back.
Totally embarrassing to Trump.
Because of democrat/uniparty lawfare against President Trump. This will not stop until SCOTUS does their job which appears to be doubtful at this time, or President Trump dies. My money is on the latter.
Is the judge married? Where does she live?
Does she have children? Grand children? where do they go to school? why are they permitted to be out and about with such a villianous anti American grandmother?
Hopefully he’s on a plane to the South Sudan tonight
Congress has the power to set restrictions on and also dissolve federal courts, save the SCOTUS. Is Johnson doing anything to address this judicial insurrection?
Deport the Yudge to CA. We dont want her In TN.
The district judges are not acting independently. They are bought and paid for. They are acting per directions to them from on high.
The American judiciary is a tool of the progressive left.
All of the progressive left must be obliterated to the last man. There can actually be no co existence.
The courts are getting so bad it’s about time to deport judges to clean up the mess.
im betting garcia is happy to be anywhere other than bukele’s bnb
