Trump administration officials told a federal judge Tuesday that they still seek to deport Kilmar Ábrego García to Liberia — a country to which he has no ties. The Maryland father first made headlines in March when he was wrongfully deported to El Salvador, where he was held in the notorious CECOT mega-prison. Ábrego García was returned to the United States after months of public outrage, but the Trump administration has since tried repeatedly to send him to one of several African countries who’ve agreed to accept third-country deportees. Ábrego García’s lawyers have argued that if he must be deported, it should be to Costa Rica, which has agreed to accept deportees who cannot safely return to their home countries.
