The Trump administration announced it plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda after he declined a plea deal involving deportation to Costa Rica.

U.S. immigration officials say they intend to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, after he declined an offer to be deported to Costa Rica in exchange for remaining in jail and pleading guilty to human smuggling charges.

Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was wrongfully deported to an El Salvadorian prison in March, have accused the Trump Administration of trying to "coerce" their client to plead guilty to criminal charges of human trafficking or face deportation to Uganda, a country he has never been to.
