      Abrego Garcia has been eligible for deportation this whole time. Costa Rica has agreed to accept him and he’s agreed to go. The only reason the regime hasn’t done that is because they want to punish him for embarrassing them.

        Lol that’s not contempt of court. That’s “broken pinky promise” and the consequence is another pinky promise.
