36. Sounds like a a weak case
Fri Jun 6, 2025, 04:35 PM
Yesterday

I’d have to wonder if the case was so strong, why not indict him in the first place? This is another example of Trump wanting to deport just to make the numbers, due process be damned.

I’m making no judgement on garcia’s guilt or innocence. Maybe he’s not a great person. It really doesn’t matter. At least now Garcia won’t be rotting away in that prison in El Salvador and will have his day in court. I’m glad the courts haven’t completely given in (yet).
