There’s also a law that requires the President to take necessary actions short of an act of war to secure the release of U.S. citizens wrongfully imprisoned by a foreign government. I think it’s unenforceable though.

There are obvious differences with Abrego Garcia, but this idea that it's crazy to expect the US to exert influence on a foreign government to release someone wrongfully imprisoned there is a new development, to say the least

The glaring difference being is that the pathetic POSER is the one sending, without due process, these people to a foreign prison. Garcia is just one of many.

I'm sure the families of prisoners of Hamas are surprised to learn this

They just know him coming back to the US and getting media attention and telling of his horrors would be really bad for them so they will dig in on this.
