Hold them in contempt. What the fuck.
- It's a separate legal issue.
  The sad fact is he already had his asylum denied years ago and is eligible for detention and deportation to any nation except El Salvador. The fact that he can't be held for pretrial detention for the bullshit human trafficking charges is immaterial to that.
  The second he's acquitted, I expect they'll deport him to one of the other torture prisons they're opening up.
  There's no happy ending for him without a US regime change.
  
  Why send him to a prison at all? I get that they may have grounds to send him anywhere except El Salvador, but why does it have to be a prison? From what I know, he wasn't detained for any crime, other than being undocumented. So send him to a country that will receive him, and release him. It doesn't have to be some terrible prison Hell.
Did I overlook something in the article? They didn't say how they know what ICE might do, only a speculative sentence about how they might do it.
- Yeah, I think if a journalist or judge tried to make ICE go on the record with a straight answer they'd probably just get assaulted and charged with several felonies, but there was this
  The acting U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, Rob McGuire, argued on June 13 that the likely attempt by ICE to try to deport him was one reason to keep him in jail.
  e; Like, they're not the same office obviously, but presumably a DOJ attorney has some insight on what ICE might be contemplating
  
  A homeland security spokeswokan said he "would never walk free on american soil" after some racist shit about him being an "illegal alien" that is not literally not true, as hes here legally.
  They will immediately try to deport him to try to make this bullshit trial go away to save face.
Iirc, the US Marshals report to the judiciary. So just task the Marshals with securing the guys safety, because there are credible threats being made against him. The fact that it’s ICE is somewhat immaterial.
