"Ok, so we lied about every single aspect of this case, and repeated those lies continuously for 2 months to keep an innocent man in a foreign torture prison... but we have evidence now that he gave some people a ride in his car! A RIDE in his CAR! Can you believe that?? No, seriously, please believe that. He's a bad guy, you guys. Honest!*"

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yes the charges are stupid, but they are primarily to make it so that Trump's fold doesn't look like a fold. This is a win that he is out from El Salvador and puts further pressure to bring back all the others in a similar situation
My take, too. They can comply with the court order and save face. The charges are not very solid, though. This can play into Trump's hands in that if he's acquitted, just silently brushing it under the rug with another outrage (the admin is seriously just an outrage/scandal ponzi scheme). If he's convicted, then they can parade him around like they were right the entire time.
Hauling Undocumented Migrants is a CRIME? Uh OH! DONT tell Republican Governors that or they'll be in TROUBLE!
The decision to pursue the indictment against Abrego Garcia led to the abrupt departure of Ben Schrader, a high-ranking federal prosecutor in Tennessee, sources briefed on Schrader's decision told ABC News.
That's at least good to see.
He made over 100 trips, the grand jury found
Bondi misrepresenting just what a grand jury is and what they decide without ABC correcting it is not good to see though.
Gonna be really funny when he gets back here and has no MS-13 tattoo on his knuckles.
“But the El Salvadoran prison lasered it off. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Really.”
That's already been verified. Remember when Sen. Van Hollen was allowed to meet with him? There was a picture from that meeting that showed his hand.
How much is this whole thing costing the tax payer? When they could have easily left the man alone. He was admitted in the first Trump administration my god. Lmao. Clown show
So what I am hearing is they could have brought him back at any time
“mistakenly”
Ah, the proverbial ham sandwich!
What a bunch of petty losers
Sounds like trumped up charges by Bondi
