US EditionUS still wants to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia, despite new agreement with Costa Rica

- In Tennessee, the government accuses Garcia of human smuggling based on a 2022 traffic stop. He pleaded not guilty, claiming the charges were brought to punish him.
- The Department of Homeland Security continues attempting to deport Garcia to a series of African countries, but federal courts have repeatedly blocked these efforts via injunctions.
- This complicated legal fight has galvanized both sides of the national debate over President Donald Trump's immigration policies as the case remains unresolved in Maryland.
