Kilmar Abrego Garcia Released from Custody Amid Deportation Threat
Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from federal custody in Tennessee and is set to reunite with his family in Maryland. However, the Trump administration is moving to deport him to Uganda after he refused a plea deal in his smuggling case. His attorneys allege that U.S. officials are attempting to coerce him into accepting a guilty plea by threatening deportation. ICE has warned that Garcia could face deportation within days. Local leaders have reacted to his release amidst concerns over the looming threat of extradition back to Uganda.
