The Trump admin in a nutshell; in order to justify their own mistake, they’re going to release a violent felon with five deportations so he can testify against the guy with no criminal record they mistakenly deported.
In other words, the story is always more important than the principle.

The Trump admin has freed Jose Hernandez Reyes because he can testify against Abrego Garcia.
Hernandez, who has been deported 5 times, has also been arrested for:
—DUI w/ a handgun;
—cocaine possession;
—illegally transporting migrants; and
—drunkenly firing a gun.
