Trump admin is rejecting Kilmar Abrego Garcia's request to self deport to Costa Rica..want to force him to Africa [View all]

The administration is finalizing plans to deport Salvadoran immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia, despite a federal judge currently blocking his removal.

Abrego Garcia's legal team states he is willing to self-deport to Costa Rica, which has agreed to accept him, but the administration deems this "prejudicial to the United States."

This deportation effort is part of the president's mass deportation campaign, with the administration having previously tried to send Abrego Garcia to at least five different countries.

Abrego Garcia, who has an American wife and child, was wrongly deported to a Salvadoran prison last year where he says he was tortured. Several judges and a unanimous Supreme Court ordered the government to return him.

Upon his return, he faced criminal charges for allegedly moving other immigrants, which his attorneys argue is "vindictive and selective prosecution" by the administration.
