The move deals an embarrassing blow to the Trump administration, which made the Maryland man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the face of its deportation campaign.

    I should add, now that Abrego actually has a court ruling finding vindictive prosecution, he should be eligible to collect from the $1.776 billion compensation fund.

      God, it’s so hilarious how Trump set up the fund to benefit himself and his inbred army but didn’t bind it tight enough to exclude those who’ve been harmed by his own government.

        I haven’t read much about it, but isn’t it something you apply to? And then they’ll just deny people for arbitrary reasons or give insignificant sums.

        I don’t expect any such individual to actually get a payout. Just folks who beat up cops.

          I’ll be surprised if any of them get more than a pittance. I expect most of it will go to the grifters and influencers.
