Kilmar Abrego Garcia Detained in US, Could Be Deported to Uganda

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a 30-year-old Salvadoran man living in Maryland with his American wife and children, has been detained again by U.S. immigration authorities and faces deportation to Uganda under the Trump administration. Previously wrongfully deported to El Salvador, he was abused in prison there before being returned to the U.S. His lawyers call the new deportation attempt “vindictive,” especially as his human smuggling trial is set for 2027. A Maryland court order temporarily blocks his removal, but officials still push for deportation, alleging gang ties, which he denies. His case highlights Trump’s harsh crackdown on migrants and asylum seekers.
