The so called president of the United States of America shared a doctored image of Garcia. That should make any rational person understand how little of a case the DOJ has.

When Mr. Garcia is released he should sue the DOJ and Trump and be awarded 1M for everyday he spent in Salvador and here in the states. Every immigrant sent to Salvador should be returned and have their day in court and also sue the Orange criminal and DOJ if found innocent.

I hope that Kilmar sues Trump, DHS and DOJ for everything that he can. His treatment has been reprehensible.
