1. I hate to say it, but the other inmates might be motivated to kill him to draw attention to the brutal conditions.

[pnwest]

3. There's also the original threat from which he was fleeing

He was threatened, his whole family was threatened, if he didn't join MS13 or make payments to them. They may have carried it out.

9. Yes he refused to join the gang and refused to pay bribes to them.

The prison gang may not take kindly to this.

2. DAE

DAE?

[pnwest]

4. "Does anyone else"

[MissLilyBart]

6. DAE "Does anyone else"...

if I recall correctly (or, as they say on the interwebs, IIRC).

5. Probably

20% chance he isn't, and we see an Otto Warbier "confession" on tv.

7. Even if he is alive physically

He is dead for all practical purposes.

Death would likely be preferable to living out ones life in that hellhole

[pnwest]

8. I hope he's holding on to hope for now.

Even though he has no way of knowing what steps are being taken on his behalf, if he's still alive, I hope he's still hoping.

10. I've been thinking that too...and especially because the only thing they said in their update to the courts was

basically that he's alive, and they always say and do the opposite of reality.

[pnwest]

14. Ain't that the truth.

Does not bode well.

[lamp_shade]

11. So do I.... and BEFORE he left the U.S.

12. Idle speculation.

It doesn't "seem sure" that Abrego-Garcia is dead. The Senator getting stonewalled by the Salvadorans doesn't prove anything - it was predictable, and he cannot be surprised.

We simply have no information.

[pnwest]

15. Speculation? Yes. Idle? No.

And perhaps I should say it "sure seems to me", anyway.

Believe me, nothing would make me happier than to be wrong, and I'll happily eat crow.

13. I'm surprised he has lived as long as he has if he still is alive.

It's worse than death row when you don't know just when it is coming or how.

16. Right now i think the odds are 3 to 1 against, but theres a clock running.

End of April, 2 to 1.
May 15, even odds either way no bet.
If he's not back here by Memorial Day, he's not coming back without a bag wrapped around him.
No matter what, he CANNOT be allowed to talk to the Press or the Courts.
