Abrego Garcia.
Yes, he will get his day in court. And he will almost certainly be found guilty. And he will serve a (potentially very long) prison sentence in a federal prison (likely several). And there will be no paroles or probations, because as soon as he is released (assuming he does not die in prison), then ICE will execute his detainer and he will be deported. Again. Only it will go easier this time because he will have CIMTs (crimes involving moral turpitude) on his record -- felony convictions.
I guess the win is that he will be in an American prison and not a foreign prison.

What is the source of your certainty?
Because Pam Bondi's DOJ charged him? Not sure that's the strongest support for a belief.

(638 posts)if it wasn't going to be a slam dunk. They would just leave him be (he's already been removed). Bringing him back means they actually want him to serve federal time on American soil. And I'm not sure this has ever been done before (a person ordered removed -- and removed -- brought back in to stand trial).
My guess is they have flipped a number of his cohorts into being material witnesses (plea deals), and the AUSA is 100% certain a grand jury will indict. If that's the case its just a matter of picking a jury and setting a trial date. But they'll offer him a plea too, we'll see if he takes it.

(6,134 posts)punish anyone who disagrees with its fascist policies -- particularly if an incident involves steady and negative media coverage. Up is now down, white is black.
Look no further than J6 criminals who have emerged as national heroes and received pardons. Meanwhile, NJ Rep. McIver has been charged with two felonies for resisting ICE agents who were physically shoving her around.
Garcia is regarded by Miller, Bondi, and djt as high-profile. They'll be compelled to treat him harshly to serve as an example to others.

(3,754 posts)You say, "the AUSA is 100% certain a grand jury will indict."
Unless the arrow of time has reversed, you are certain about a future event ("will happen"
that has already happened.
He's been indicted. By a grand jury.
Also, you're time-challenged here as well "just a matter of picking a jury and setting a trial date."
In the real world, the trial date is set long before the jury is selected.
Unless you're confusing grand jury and petit jury, which, all else considered, seems a very real possibility.
Perhaps this got all jumbled in your mind in the midst of your Nostradamic excitement.
