Thursday

If they can imprison people without due process, without notice to loved ones, and confiscate phones, they can do this to anyone.

The release of this man is not enough. He should be awarded damages. The people who did this should be prosecuted. This is kidnapping.

Of course he will lay low and hope not to be further punished in his asylum application.
