After mistaken deportation, US asks judge to let it send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia

U.S. attorneys seek deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia despite legal challenges citing due process and assurances against persecution, with a hearing scheduled for December 8.

  • Late on Friday, U.S. government attorneys asked a federal judge to dissolve an order blocking Kilmar Abrego Garcia's removal to Liberia, citing legal clearance and assurances before a December 8 hearing.
  • After an administrative error in March, officials returned Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the U.S. in June following his mistaken deportation to El Salvador despite a 2019 immigration judge finding danger there.
  • Abrego Garcia's attorneys argue removal efforts violate due process, citing his plea, an American wife and child, long Maryland residence, and a 2020 U.S. Supreme Court case on immigrant rights.
  • The government told the court it argues courts cannot second-guess foreign diplomacy and asked to dissolve a preliminary injunction, while his attorneys seek an immigration-judge review.
  • Liberia's temporary acceptance raises risks as the Liberian government may re-deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, underscoring debate over due process for immigrants versus 'an alien at the threshold of initial entry'.
