A US Marine held in a Mexican jail for over two months after mistakenly entering the country with guns has made an impassioned plea today for President Obama to secure his release. Sgt Andrew Tahmooressi said as the head of the military Mr Obama should get personally involved in his plight. 'Mr. President, you are my Commander in Chief. Please get me out of jail.' Speaking exclusively to Mail Online from his Mexican prison, the 25-year-old said: 'I am still in the Marines and President Obama is my Commander in Chief. Day in court: Sgt Andrew Tahmooressi will appear in court in Tijuana today after 100 days in a Mexican prison
@highlight
Sgt Andrew Tahmooressi has been held in a Mexican prison for two months for making a wrong turn and entering Mexico with registered guns
@highlight
He is pleading to President Obama to help him the way he helped POW Bowe Bergdahl. 'I am being treated like a POW too,' he says
@highlight
He was stripped naked and chained to a bedpost. When they undid the chains he was so weak he could not walk
@highlight
At one point he was shackled to a bed with a four point restraint. That is not right. 'No soldier, no person should have to endure that sort of treatment'
@highlight
Apart from fears about his health, mom Jill Tahmooressi said her son has already spent $20,000 and he has yet to appear in court
@highlight
'All I want is for my son to come home. That is what any mother who has a son in the military wants'
This has gone on too long and @placeholder is suffering.
