The Trump admin said it would go after violent immigrants but they are giving this guy:
*an early release from prison
*a promise not to be deported for at least a year
*a work permit
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:

—cocaine possession;
—illegally transporting migrants; and
—drunkenly firing a gun.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.
