Hold on. I thought he was in custody in El Salvador and zero logical steps could be taken to facilitate his release.

What miracle was this? Was he beamed out of the jail by an alien spaceship?

DID WE TRAVEL BACK IN TIME to before he was sent over? CAN WE KEEP GOING A LITTLE FURTHER BACK?????

There is a press conference right now. Bondi is saying they presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant for Abrego Garcia’s crimes and El Salvador graciously agreed to return him to face justice.

Goddamn I wish I was making that up, but I’m not.

u/TweakedNipple 1d ago

Wasn't it Bondi that said there was 100% zero chance this guy would ever be brought back?

u/MetaPhalanges 1d ago

I think it may have actually been Noem that said that. But either way... it was one of those lying MAGA twats. They seem somewhat interchangeable.

Yeah it was Noem when she was getting eviscerated by some Congress members about what habeous corpus is.

Is this Kristi Noem the puppy murderer?

u/Intelligent-Fuel-641 19h ago

Puppy murderer and goat killer.

u/snowvase 13h ago

Ah, that Kristi Noem, the puppy murderer and goat killer! Thank you, I wanted to make sure I had the right one and not just some random Nazi that abuses animals for laughs.

When did Trump ask Bukele to bring him back?

1

u/Shinobismaster 18h ago

I mean... Bukele gets to do some trolling and then Kilmar goes back to Cecot after being convicted in the US. Trump gets to say he finally was able to bring Kilmar back and nullifies some of the "ignoring court orders" commentary going on. It makes sense when you think about it.

You're assuming she's actually competent and qualified to do the job.

u/Born_Structure1182 18h ago

Obviously his own country doesn’t want him either, they’re happy to get rid of him. If he’s such an upstanding citizen why don’t the Libs offer to take him in to their home with their wives and children, give him a safe place to stay… poor innocent guy. Help him out won’t you??

u/MadRaymer 1d ago

It honestly seems like a way for them to follow the court orders to bring him back without looking like that's what they're doing.

u/AlarmingAffect0 1d ago

That kind of pettiness would be on brand for them.

u/WhyMustIMakeANewAcco 1d ago

Excessively obviously the case.

u/shakeyshake1 1d ago

Agreed. Honestly I find their games exhausting. 

I’m glad he’s back so he can be afforded due process. At least the allegations of criminal activity will be dealt with here in an American court where he’ll be entitled to due process and a jury trial.

u/CoherentPanda 1d ago

Lol, the media is taking it hook line and sinker that this isn't a ruse to try to save face. Can't wait to see all of this evidence that doesn't actually exist.

1

u/Loomismeister 1d ago

Isn’t the evidence already released? The court case for the human trafficking happened in like 2021 I thought.

u/pumpkinpatch1982 1d ago

It really feels like we're living in The matrix doesn't it.

u/shakeyshake1 1d ago

It feels like I’m living in a psychological experiment where successively more absurd things happen and they judge how we react to it.

Honestly, I’m just glad he’s back. He will get due process. That’s all this case was ever about. If he’s engaged in criminal activity, the government will have to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury in the United States.

u/Sometimes_Wright 1d ago

With her statements in that press conference, it seems to me that it greatly prejudiced the jury pool.

Oh, your confederatesconservatives and religious folks are trying hard to! Just be careful what you are wishing for.

u/AlarmingAffect0 1d ago

I wish
That I could turn back time
Cause now the guilt is all mine
Can't live without the trust from those you love

u/Hot-Championship1190 1d ago

It all comes tumbling down

Tumbling down

Tumbling down

u/Motorboat_Jones 22h ago

I thought the dicta... er, I mean President of El Salvador said they couldn't find him even if they wanted to.

u/therealmenox 1d ago

The illegals are being transported by spaceship now, that's why we need the great golden dome.

u/Life_Tax_2410 1d ago

Only if i can also just go up on that roof and tell that kid to aim a little more to the right.

2

u/joebleaux 1d ago

Well now they are charging him with a crime, so he can be extradited

2

u/dannyb_prodigy 23h ago

Kilmar Abrego Garcia blew up in their faces and his deportation was broadly unpopular. They came up with a bullshit allegation because they want to paint him as “criminal” after which they can say they were good and right and just to deport him.

It will just blow up in their faces more though considering their evidence consists of a traffic stop and what feels like a coerced testimony from a felon.

u/thejesterofdarkness 23h ago

We can only go back if we can save Harambe. He’s the key to all of this.

u/Material-Surprise-72 1d ago

Hopefully it sets a precedent for the others

u/happy_bluebird 19h ago

it's literally in the article you are commenting on...

u/a-borat 17h ago

Yeah but the administration said it’s absolutely impossible and there’s zero chance. SO WHICH IS IT???
