Trump Administration Weighs Deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, According to His Lawyers

Deportation Intent: U.S. immigration officials plan to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, following his release from jail where he faced human smuggling charges, which he denies.

Plea Deal Pressure: Abrego Garcia's attorneys claim the Trump administration pressured him to accept a plea deal that would lead to deportation to Costa Rica, threatening him with deportation to Uganda if he refused.

Legal Allegations: His lawyers argue that the government's actions constitute vindictive and selective prosecution, especially given past concerns about his safety in El Salvador, where he was wrongfully deported earlier.

Upcoming Trial: A trial for the federal human smuggling charges against Abrego Garcia is scheduled for January, amidst ongoing controversies regarding his treatment and accusations of gang ties, which he denies.
