ALERT: Kilmar Abrego Garcia Detained Again, Threatened With Uganda Deportation

The Salvadoran father's lawyers say sending him to a country with no ties is retaliatory and dangerous.

WASHINGTON — On Monday, ICE detained Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man at the center of a high-profile immigration case, during a scheduled check-in at the agency’s Baltimore field office.

The detention comes just three days after Abrego Garcia was released from a Tennessee jail, escalating a contentious legal fight over the government’s plan to deport him to Uganda — a country his lawyers say has no connection to him and where they argue he would face serious risks.
