Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Be Deported to Uganda in 72 Hours: Report

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, linked to MS-13, faces deportation to Uganda after release from Tennessee jail amid legal disputes over his immigration status and deportation process.

  • In March 2025, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old Salvadoran man, was wrongfully sent back to El Salvador despite a 2019 immigration judge's ruling that prevented his deportation.
  • His wrongful deportation occurred due to an admitted 'administrative error' by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after he fled gang persecution and lived in Maryland.
  • After being held without due process in a notorious Salvadoran prison, Abrego Garcia was returned to federal custody in the U.S., charged with human smuggling, and released from a Tennessee jail on August 22, 2025.
  • U.S. officials informed his lawyers that Homeland Security could remove Abrego Garcia to Uganda no sooner than 72 hours after August 22, 2025, despite unclear justification for this destination and his lack of connections to the country.
  • His lawyers plan to contest the deportation order, while Costa Rica has expressed willingness to accept Abrego Garcia upon completing any U.S. criminal sentence, indicating ongoing legal and diplomatic complexities.
