Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Be Deported to African Nation of Eswatini: Report
The Trump Justice Department removed multiple officials resisting deportation efforts amid the case of Salvadoran migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who faces deportation to Eswatini despite legal challenges.
- Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, will be deported to the African kingdom of Eswatini, according to a notice from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
- His deportation occurred despite a 2019 immigration court decision preventing his forced return to El Salvador over concerns about potential gang-related persecution, an issue that he continues to contest.
- Abrego faces federal smuggling charges and has been accused of MS-13 gang affiliation, which he denies, while his attorneys argue the government pressures him with selective prosecution.
- An ICE official labeled Abrego’s claims of fearing persecution or torture in over 20 countries, including Uganda, as “hard to take seriously,” but his attorney said a fair trial would prove his asylum claim.
- The planned deportation to Eswatini, which has agreed to accept non-citizen deportees, underscores the administration's intensified immigration crackdown and raises questions about precedent for relocating detainees to unrelated countries.
