Immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia Detained Again in Baltimore Facing Deportation Risks

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an immigrant who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador earlier this year under the Trump administration, was detained again by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after reporting for a routine check-in in Baltimore. The administration plans to deport him to Uganda despite concerns about his safety there, as he does not speak the language and Uganda has documented human rights abuses. Abrego Garcia rejected a plea deal that would have allowed him to live legally in Costa Rica in exchange for pleading guilty to human smuggling charges, which his lawyers argue are baseless and part of a vindictive prosecution. His attorneys accuse the Trump administration of coercing a guilty plea and punishing him for exercising his rights, while ICE has refused to disclose details about his current detention or deportation plans. Abrego Garcia's case has drawn widespread attention and legal battles, including a Supreme Court order directing officials to facilitate his return after his mistaken deportation. Supporters and legal advocates continue to call for his freedom and highlight the administration's harsh immigration enforcement tactics.
