Trump administration plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Eswatini
Donald Trump,Kilmar Abrego Garcia
The Trump administration informed Kilmar Abrego Garcia on Friday that it now plans to deport him to the tiny African nation of Eswatini, as he continues to fight efforts to re-deport him.
In an email to the Maryland man, which was obtained by CNN, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official said that given Abrego Garcia’s concerns about being deported to several other countries, they now seek to remove him to Eswatini. The Department of Homeland Security previously notified Abrego Garcia of plans to deport him to Uganda, but he objected to the removal, citing fears of being persecuted or tortured.
