Judge Attempts to Set Illegal Alien Abrego Garcia Free, Further Squandering Court’s Credibility
This is how unserious our government leaders are about immigration: A judge in Tennessee is about to release self-professed illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia from jail, even though she knows he’s in the country unlawfully — meaning, he’s a criminal — and knows that when she orders the release he’ll be immediately apprehended by immigration authorities.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes on Sunday ruled that the Trump administration had failed to prove that Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, was a likely flight risk or threat to the public in the run-up to his human trafficking trial. She acknowledged, however, that Immigration and Customs Enforcement would obviously take him into custody the second he’s released from jail, calling her own decision “little more than an academic exercise.”
Recall that Abrego Garcia been already deported to his home country, only for a Democrat-appointed judge to laughably order that the government re-import him to the U.S. That’s despite him having admitted he is not a legal resident, having been identified by authorities as a violent Latin gang affiliate — a suspicion affirmed by a judge — and having been accused multiple times by his wife of physical abuse.
This is the person Barbara Holmes has deemed an unlikely threat to the public and therefore suitable for release from jail while he awaits prosecution for human trafficking. The ruling is another absurd delivery from the Democrats’ final method of thwarting the 2024 election — federal judges (formerly known as “the American judiciary”).
That she called it “little more than an academic exercise” is everything you need to know. Holmes doesn’t take the issue — literally one of life and death — seriously. Or, more infuriating, she does, and her view is the anti-American one of no borders and more crime. It’s not like that’s a particularly uncommon one among leftist judges.
The Trump administration has appealed the judge’s decision, though at some point, these rulings aren’t worthy of being dignified with rebuttals. We’re long past that point, and as the elected executor to uphold the law, President Trump’s duty is to ensure that the homeland is secure and threats to public safety are either incarcerated or removed. A judge can’t be permitted to block a core function of our government’s constitution.
Abrego Garcia is a criminal. A federal judge can’t keep the administration from treating him as such.
