Federal judge to hold hearing on whether Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being vindictively prosecuted

Spoiler: he is

Let’s check out what the president, the vice president, the heads of all federal law enforcement arms have had to say about it.

Then ask yourself why they commented on this small case.

Yes in 7,000 languages

You mean the guy personally targeted by the sitting president, including fabricating evidence and directing political media in a national smear campaign while deporting him to a foreign country to circumvent his 6th amendment rights? Naaah…

Do we really need a hearing for this?

Have they not been paying attention?

So vindictive and political persecution isn’t legal…? At least not yet, with yet being like March?

We are at the point where the relative truth has evolved and now crime is relative. I guess it has always been that way – but the obviously “pay out of prison” cards are somehow paving the way for normal folks to reconsider “crime”.

Are we even sure everything would collapse if we just said “fuck it” – I think we would find out that we have created a maze of unnecessary work to fulfill some simple minds greed. No one in the world has ever and will never need a toilet in gold. That alone is a symbol of an absolute misunderstanding about life.

Back in April, the official White House Twitter account [edited a New York Times headline to mock both the writer and Garcia himself](https://www.foxnews.com/media/trump-white-house-trashes-ny-times-headline-deported-el-salvadoran), to call Garcia an “MS-13 illegal alien who’s never coming back”.

With that, they proudly admitted how symbolic his case had become: Garcia was nowhere near the “worst of the worst” the Trump administration had said was “invading” the country, but they had to keep pretending that he was in order to perpetuate the balancing act of presenting their mass deportation as somehow both massive in scope and precise in who it targeted.

The fact that now they want to deport him to *Africa*, not even on the same *hemisphere* he’s from, is just proof of both the cruelty and desperation to “win” on open display. Sadly that cruelty appeals to people, because they are desperate to believe that society’s problems are as simple as being caused by “bad people” merely existing in their country, and that punishing or expelling them automatically fixes the problems.

At the end of the day, the people most in support of all of these deportations care about validating their existing biases and making the world feel as simple as possible. And nothing does both quite as efficiently as blaming foreigners for everything they don’t like about their country, their standing in life, and their own insecurities.

As a prosecutor, it is impossible to tell you how unusual a hearing like this is. If a judge set this in one of my cases, it means I’m heading for the unemployment line next. And apparently I would have had a recent severe brain injury like Fetterman, because I also turned into a fascist asshole

You don’t need a hearing to know this as fact.

Intentionally lying about him being a Tren de Agua gang member is pretty damning evidence, and that was only the first bullshit move they pulled, among many.
