The ruling was an astonishing rebuke of both the Justice Department and some of its top officials, including Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general.

The facts: Abrego Garcia’s central crime appears to be that he drove people between states in order for them to get to job sites. People who he presumably knew were illegal aliens.
He did not sneak them into America or anything.
The star witness against him is the ringleader of the operation, who was offered immunity in exchange for his testimony against Abrego Garcia.
Abrego Garcia was doing something that you probably didn’t even think was a crime. If you were caught driving people like that, wouldn’t you assume that if you were caught, the illegals would be arrested, but you’d be let go?
They were so bloodthirsty to get Abrego Garcia that they did it backwards. Immunity for the ringleader in order to get a nobody driver.
There’s simply no possibility that this isn’t vindictive behavior. I don’t know the exact criteria for vindictive prosecution, but if this isn’t it, then they need to revise the criteria.
Let me guess - the ringleader is white?
I wasn’t too focused on the ringleader when reading the article, but my memory, and take it for what it is, is that the ringleader was an illegal immigrant, as well, and that he had previously been deported, but was found again committing some other crime, so they didn’t have to look hard for him, because he was sitting in prison in America.
The part I’m least sure about is that he had been deported. I guess that if somebody knows differently, they’ll correct me.
If its a crime we need to arrest the governor of Texas for doing the same thing in a highly publicized manner on several occasions.
