US EditionAbrego Garcia to appear at ICE office in Baltimore amid talk of Uganda deportation
Kilmar Abrego Garcia declined a plea deal for deportation to Costa Rica and faces removal to Uganda, a country recently agreeing to accept certain deportees from the U.S., his attorneys said.
- On Monday, Kilmar Abrego Garcia will report to Immigration and Customs Enforcement Baltimore Field Office and is expected to be detained and deported to Uganda.
- After a mistaken March deportation to El Salvador, a 2019 U.S. immigration court ruling barred Kilmar Abrego Garcia from return, and he has lived in Maryland with his family since entering as a teenager to escape gang violence.
- The Justice Department offered a Costa Rica plea deal requiring Kilmar Abrego Garcia to accept by Monday morning, backed by a letter ensuring refugee or residency status without refoulement to El Salvador.
- Abrego's team says he will likely be arrested at the Monday ICE check-in, as his attorneys argue vindictive prosecution and warn of federal criminal penalties up to 10 years.
- Several outcomes remain possible now: Kilmar Abrego Garcia could accept deportation to Costa Rica, refuse and face removal to Uganda, or have attorneys seek an immigration judge's intervention, noting Uganda's recent conditional acceptance of some deportees and the 72-hour notice requirement before third-country removals.
