The Trump administration is seeking to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, just days after he was freed from ICE detention. Abrego Garcia is the Maryland man who was wrongfully deported to the notorious CECOT prison in El Salvador and later returned to the U.S.
On Friday, he was released in Tennessee, but he was ordered to report to the ICE field office in Baltimore today. He reported to the ICE office this morning, where is expected to be taken back into custody. Over the weekend, the immigrant advocacy group CASA released a short video of Kilmar Abrego Garcia speaking.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia: “My name is Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Today was a very special day, because, thank God, I saw my family again after more than 160 days. I want to thank everyone who has been supporting me, because after so much time I am realizing that many people have been by my side with positivity, and I am thankful for them.”
We’ll have more on this story later in the program.
