This sounds like a great opportunity for any armed leftists to escort Garcia. Sounds like he's at risk of kidnapping.

Abrego* is in fact staying in pretrial detention with the US Marshal temporarily. The judge agreed to delay enforcing her order to release Abrego at his own request. The Marshal will at least ensure he shows up to court in TN--something I'm not willing to say about ICE.

*This judge also asked Mr. Abrego in a hearing what surname he prefers, and the answer was "Abrego."

Tennessee, where he will be tried, is open carry for handguns. In case anyone needs that information.

We've shown, over and over, that showing up armed scares these animals away. Show out Nashville!

They will be martyrs if they do.

Fine. At what point do you think we turn fascists away with flowers?

I'm old, led a pretty full life, easy for me to say, I get that. But nothing short of armed resistance will turn these animals away.

They thought they were free is one of my favorite books of all time. Well maybe not favorite, but most important books I've ever read I think. It's one of those books I think you have to read in life. You shouldn't be allowed to go through life without reading it.

I agree, although I am only on chapter 15. Working though it slowly. I just finished the chapter The Furies: Heinrich Hildebrandt. It was rough.
