Trump Administration Threatens To Deport Ábrego García To Uganda

On the same day he was released from federal custody, the Trump administration on Friday informed Kilmar Ábrego García—a Maryland man wrongfully deported to a notorious Salvadoran prison rife with abuse—that it may deport him to the East African nation of Uganda.

Ábrego García, a Salvadoran national who entered the US without authorization when he was a teenager, was released Friday from a jail near Nashville, Tennessee, where he had been held since June following his errant deportation to El Salvador and imprisonment in the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) super-maximum security prison.

According to a notice sent by a US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official to Ábrego García’s attorneys on Friday, “DHS may remove your client… to Uganda no earlier than 72 hours from now.”
