US EditionTrump administration ready to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia, asks judge to lift block
The Trump administration claims Liberia agreed to accept Kilmar Abrego Garcia and has prepared removal logistics as it seeks to end a court injunction blocking deportation.
- The Department of Justice filed Friday urging U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis to dissolve the injunction blocking Kilmar Abrego Garcia's deportation to Liberia.
- He was mistakenly deported last March to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison despite a 2019 immigration judge order, then returned to the U.S. in June to face human-smuggling charges in Nashville, Tenn. federal courthouse.
- The removal contractor told the court that a charter plane could send him to Liberia within five days, and ICE officials said removal would be imminent if the injunction is lifted.
- Last month, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis converted an emergency order into longer-term injunctive relief, criticized DOJ attorneys for misrepresenting Liberia as the only option, while they argue a permanent injunction is 'a clear error of law.'
- The administration claims Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an MS‑13 member, which he and his attorneys deny, and he has pleaded not guilty while the Supreme Court ordered his return.
