Montel Williams, who a month ago during testimony before a House committee blasted the Obama administration’s failure to secure the release of Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi and urged the president to “make the call” on Sgt. Tahmooressi’s behalf, welcomed home the U.S. Marine who had been held in Mexico since March 31:

A federal district judge in Mexico ordered the release of Sgt. Tahmooressi yesterday, and Williams was there when he was released:

Williams, a 22-year military veteran and a vocal advocate for the release of Tahmooressi, was thanked for his efforts:

@Montel_Williams You worked hard on this. You deserve our gratitude for it.
