A judge in Tennessee said the Justice Department hasn’t made a convincing case that Kilmar Abrego Garcia should be kept in pretrial detention, though the mistakenly deported man who was returned to the US is likely to remain in federal immigration custody regardless.

Abrego Garcia is being held in Tennessee as he faces a federal indictment of smuggling undocumented immigrants across state lines in 2022. The US returned him from El Salvador this month after the indictment was unsealed, ending a political standoff over his due process rights.

His court proceedings have become a vessel for the Trump Justice Department’s hardball approach to immigration enforcement in which it has sought to portray Abrego Garcia as part of a gang operation in Maryland.

"Mistakenly" deported? That was clearly intentional.

Were y'all trying to say "inappropriately," or "illegally?"

I'm fairly certain that if I "accidentally" snatched someone up, held them captive, transported them out of the country, and rendered them to a Salvadoran prison, I would be arrested and held without bail.

Only because you don't have a badge

I have a badge, it just goes to another high school, you wouldn't know it.

My badge is from Canada; it attends college there.

DHS said in a statement they this was a "whoopsie," and that he shouldn't have "acted so foreign."

"Man, you kidnap one brown guy and people start freaking out. What's these guys' problem, anyway?"

-satire that is probably being generous to the piggies involved
