US EditionFree From Jail for Now, Abrego Garcia Could Be Sent to Uganda
Kilmar Abrego Garcia faces deportation to Uganda under a new policy targeting undocumented migrants, despite legal challenges and previous mistaken deportation to El Salvador.
- On August 22, a judge ordered the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man facing human smuggling charges in the US, pending trial.
- He declined a plea agreement that involved admitting guilt and being sent back to Costa Rica, leading authorities to plan his deportation to Uganda instead.
- This case involves a complicated series of events where Garcia was erroneously sent to a harsh prison in El Salvador, later brought back to the United States, and subsequently taken into custody once more.
- Legal experts have condemned the Trump administration’s hurried efforts to remove individuals from the country without providing them the opportunity for a court hearing, while Ugandan commentators have voiced strong opposition, insisting that Uganda should not be treated as a dumping ground for America’s issues.
- The intended deportation raises concerns about exporting criminal burdens to unrelated countries, with Ugandans demanding answers amid fears of increased security and social risks.
