According to a DHS official, the Trump administration may attempt to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda. After being mistakenly deported to El Salvador and subsequently released from pre-trial detention, Abrego Garcia’s attorneys received notice of his potential deportation to the East African country. This development follows a previously unreported agreement between the U.S. and Uganda to accept deportees who are not its citizens. Due to fear of persecution by local gangs, an immigration judge ruled Abrego Garcia cannot be deported to El Salvador.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be deported to Uganda, official says, and frankly, it’s a situation that feels less like justice and more like a targeted campaign of cruelty. It’s hard to believe they’re even considering this, isn’t it? Sending someone to a country they’re not even a citizen of? That’s not deportation; it’s essentially human trafficking. It feels like they’re just throwing darts at a map now, doing whatever they can to make this man suffer.
It all feels like a twisted consequence of political theatrics, doesn’t it? This whole saga began, it seems, as a distraction. The actions taken here underscore that this was a “red herring” right from the start. The goal seemed to be to demonize Garcia, painting him as a dangerous criminal to deflect attention away from the Trump administration’s questionable immigration practices. The focus shifted away from the core issue: the violation of due process and the illegal actions of immigration agents.
Remember, this wasn’t just about Garcia. There were many others, countless harmless or innocent people, arrested, detained, or deported without proper legal procedures. The Trump administration, it seems, was targeting everyone, including legal residents, visa holders, asylum seekers, and even U.S. citizens. It’s a pretty disturbing picture, really.
The courts have already weighed in, repeatedly ruling that Garcia’s initial deportation was unlawful. The judges saw right through the constant violations of the law. They recognized that Garcia was denied the due process he was entitled to. The Supreme Court even acknowledged that his removal to El Salvador was illegal. The government had no legal basis for his arrest, his removal, or his confinement.
So, after Garcia was returned, the Department of Justice tried to rectify its mistake by charging him with new crimes, potentially to warrant his deportation. The intention seems clear: they wanted to ensure Garcia’s conviction, rather than admitting to their initial “administrative error.” The decision to charge him with human trafficking, rather than gang-related crimes, was likely a way to try to justify his initial unlawful deportation. It was all designed to keep him in custody, no matter what.
Think about how it started. Garcia was granted protection status under US immigration law because he feared persecution in El Salvador. The courts clearly stated that the Trump administration ignored the “withholding order” he was granted and denied him due process. This withholding order is not the same as asylum but actually requires more proof than Asylum. The courts ruled in Garcia’s favor, confirming that the Trump administration’s actions were unlawful. The government even acknowledged that his removal was illegal. The proper remedy was to provide Garcia with all the process he should have been entitled to, which means they have to give him “due process of law.” This all means that Garcia’s case wasn’t properly litigated.
Then, after finally being returned, he faced charges about transporting undocumented migrants. The narrative was completely changed to contradict arguments made earlier in 2019 that Garcia was already charged with gang-related crimes, which was simply not true. He wasn’t charged with gang-related crimes, and there was never any explicit evidence proving his alleged MS-13 gang status. This alleged status was based on an unnamed informant and an informant that was fired for multiple incidents of misconduct, calling the informant’s credibility into question. The evidence used to label him as a gang member was ultimately very thin.
There’s the Chicago Bulls hat and hoodie, and a vague claim from an unreliable informant. Even the faulty Gangnet database used to flag Garcia was disbanded. Ultimately, the judge stated, “The government asserts that Abrego Garcia is a terrorist and a member of MS-13. Perhaps, but perhaps not. Regardless, he is still entitled to due process.”
This whole situation is not just about Garcia; it’s about defending the rights of all individuals who have been illegally detained or deported. It feels like a calculated effort to punish a man without due process, and the fact that Uganda is even being considered is simply baffling. It’s a desperate move, and it’s hard to believe they’re not just trying to make his life a living hell.
