Really, at this point, why not simply put him through standard deportation proceedings for Kilmar? Shouldn’t take long. He’s here illegally. That’s all that’s necessary. Goodness, there has already been a final deportation order in 2019
Kilmar Abrego Garcia taken into ICE custody, but judge blocks deportation for now
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who reunited with his family last week after 160 days apart following his mistaken deportation to El Salvador, was taken into ICE custody Monday after an immigration check-in, but a judge later ruled that he cannot be deported, for now. (snip)
Abrego filed a new lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Maryland “seeking to ensure that he is not removed from the United States pending his immigration proceedings.”
The lawsuit asked a federal judge to issue an order that Abrego not be allowed to be removed from the United States unless he is given proper due process to fight his potential deportation.
The suit challenges Abrego’s deportation to Uganda or any other country unless and until he has had a fair trial, Sandoval-Moshenberg said. He later argued that deporting his client to any country without any credible assurances that he could stay there would be “just a very inconvenient layover to El Salvador.”
At a hearing Monday afternoon, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ordered that Abrego must remain stay detained in the United States — temporarily blocking his deportation to Uganda — until she holds an evidentiary hearing.
So, just show he is illegally present in the U.S. per Federal Code 8 and deport his ass back to El Salvador. Or, he could choose another country. Regardless, he has to go.
Before his ICE check-in appointment and detainment Monday morning, Abrego addressed reporters surrounded by family, supporters, faith leaders and his legal team, who were all calling for his freedom.
“My name is Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and I want you to remember this, remember that I am free and I was able to be reunited with my family,” he said in Spanish before a translator repeated in English.
Did you get that?
And Mexico will pay for all the deportations right after they finish paying for the unfinished Great Wall

As you seem to be concerned about U.S., U.S. law {8 U.S.C. § 1231(b)(3)} and international law {Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees as ratified by the U.S. in 1968} does not allow the deportation of someone to a country where they will be persecuted. In particular, El Salvador does not provide due process rights and has imprisoned Garcia without trial previously. If Uganda is just a layover for being sent to El Salvador, then that would be covered under the same laws.
The U.S. government said it would deport Garcia to Costa Rica, but only if he pleaded guilty to a crime. They withdrew the offer when he would not plead guilty, meaning they intend to deport him to Uganda. Hence, the need for a court hearing.
Your concern for illegal alien criminals over citizens is duly noted, Comrade.
Our good friends on the left sure love them some criminals!
Dana: Our good friends on the left sure love them some criminals!
Due process is an unalienable right. Whether Garcia is a criminal is something to be determined through the legal system.
He has had the due process several times.
Go away child.
The honorable Mr Dana typed:
Is there even one MAGAt to make a credible argument re Mr Garcia?
Our ‘president’ has more felony convictions than Mr Garcia!!
But is Mr Garcia a ‘criminal’? He is an undocumented immigrant and a U.S. resident since 2011.
If he is as dangerous as MAGAts claims, why deport him only to have him sneak back in? Better to try try and convict him and lock him up – then deport him once he’s served his time. What are the MAGAts afraid of? That their case is weak?
The law is the law.
