Keeping people imprisoned with no charges is lunacy.

That is exactly what the court offered and asked him to do. The criminal refused to do so. He is being detained by his own choice.

The court gave him a chance to be set free by giving a statement under oath, but he refused.
I have zero sympathy. Once the trial is over, dump him and all his illegal murdering family back in Mexico.

BTW- the story said he broke no law. I guess they forgot that entering the US illegally is breaking a law.

That isn't a real law.

They didn't, because he hasn't refused to testify at trial yet. He didn't testify early. They said do it and you get out. Don't and you stay in. He didn't and stayed in.
