Abrego Garcia’s attorneys expressed concern that his release would lead to immediate detention by ICE and deportation

Kilmar Abrego Garcia will remain in jail for now after fears that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will swoop to deport him as soon as he is released.

Abrego Garcia’s attorneys expressed concern that his release would lead to immediate detention by ICE and deportation.

A federal judge ruled the Salvadoran father, who was criminally accused of human smuggling, has a right to be released and even set specific conditions.

But he will remain in jail for at least a few more days while attorneys spar over whether prosecutors can prevent Abrego Garcia's deportation if he is released to await trial.

Locking people up to protect them from being deported. What a beautiful distopia

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Land of the free. We're all just volleyballs for different police forces to bounce around now.

Armed bodyguards would keep the ICE away. The judge should deputize community volunteers, and give them explicit permission to put down rabid DOGEs,

This reminds me of a story from "They thought they were free". A Jew was accused of raping a woman. The judge heard the case and determined he was innocent. However, the gestapo were waiting outside the court to nab the accused as soon as the trial ended.

The judge decided to stick to his verdict instead of ruling guilty to put him in a normal prison instead of a concentration camp. After all, how could he justify ruling an innocent man guilty, even if that was objectively a better result for the man?

ICE needs to be abolished and all staff prosecuted, they are a rogue agency.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 55 points 1 day ago

Rogue agency doesn't really apply. They are doing exactly what they have been told to do. That's the problem. You wouldn't have the gestapo without Heinrich Müller and Adolf Hitler.

[-] Cenzorrll@lemmy.world 17 points 23 hours ago

Every officer knows they need warrants and to identify themselves and that all arrests see a judge or they get released. Any officer not doing so is committing a felony and they know that. I say anyone who assisted at any point needs to be prosecuted, following orders isn't a defense.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 13 points 23 hours ago

Definitely. I am not defending ICE (ha! fuck those guys). My comment was meant as an indictment on the administration as a whole. ICE didn't go rogue. ICE is doing exactly what Trump said it would do.

Only in the United States is it more safe to be in jail. Fuckin clown country.

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 31 points 1 day ago

Unless you have knowledge and possibly evidence that politicians, world leaders, movie stars, and pretty much every ceo is into children and human trafficking as long as it's on a private island.

Then you might just experience the craziest set of coincidences!

America: At best, we’ll jail you for your own protection.

[-] Allemaniac@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago

any sane person still living in the masquerading third-world-shithole called US, make your way to Europe, we love social security and freedom of expression, religion, movement and speech. Love and solidarity from Deutschland <3

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Hey, what are you doing! Leave them hillbillies on the other side of the pond please. We've got enough shit to deal with ourselves like the AfD, Orban, nearly all EU governments being right wing, etc. I definitely don't feel like having to deal with Americans with their behavior. Let the good Americans fight the oppression in their country, otherwise nothing will stop the tyranny.

[-] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago

From what I can tell it isn’t actually possible to do that unless you are at least rich enough to afford a PHD.

My wife and I have been trying to move out of the states for a decade.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Fwiw, I was able to leave the states with only a bachelor's. It was through an extraordinary set of circumstances but it is technically possible

[-] thevoidzero@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

All my friends that have been to Europe said the racism there is worse than US, because people in US are at least not racist to your face, (or maybe there's more diversity here and people live in bubbles, this could be significant reason that my friends didn't think of; they mostly interact with international people).

Most of the time when I hear and see a country being great about society and such, it seems to be great for their own citizens. Which is understandable. But that means we don't really have much choice of other countries accepting us (I'm brown and have an accent so I can't fit in in Europe).

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 5 points 1 day ago

Your shit stinks too.

[-] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I'd love to. I had hoped to get Italian citizenship by descent, but the laws changed.

In 2 years, my kid graduates high school. He wants to go to college in Italy. We had hoped to be able to wait until then, but that may not be tenable anymore.

Can you give guidance on the best way to immigrate and get a Euro citizenship? I'm 60 with a good job in technology.

Btw... My Calabrian great grandmother's maiden name is 2 letters off from your username. Allemagnia.

[-] WalnutLum@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

You need minimum B1 language in most European countries for both immigration and businesses to consider you for long term employment and or settlement, so that's a start.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Are you funding this emigration?

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 5 points 1 day ago

we love social security and freedom of expression, religion, movement and speech. Love and solidarity from Deutschland <3

For now.

[-] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The last thing we want to hear is being talked down to by someone else, it's not helpful and just comes across as arrogant.

[-] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

this guy has the worst luck in the world

[-] thevoidzero@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

On the other hand I think he's lucky. He has enough media coverage and people know him. He is under the watchful eyes of many. Anyone else that was in the exact same situation as him without the media making it a big deal like this, would not have made it back. When someone uses his example, all I can think is, you can't expect people to be lucky as he was.

[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io 7 points 1 day ago

It's sort of a monkey's paw luck, though. The whole reason MAGA is so rabidly obsessed with getting this guy is because he has the media coverage. They made a big dramatic show out of declaring that he'll "never walk free on American soil again" and now find themselves scrambling to do anything they can to prevent that, regardless of reason.

[-] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

yeah that's a fair point

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago

Ifkr? You'd think he was a political dissident at least with how hard they have it for him.
