The American government wants to expel Kilmar Ábrego García in Uganda

Less than 24 hours after his release, the American authorities informed Kilmar Ábrego García that he could be expelled in Uganda, following his refusal to accept a plea agreement in a criminal trial in progress, according to his lawyers.

The lawyers of Mr. Ábrego García said he refused an offer to plead guilty of human smuggling in exchange for expulsion to Costa Rica – an agreement proposed after he became clear that he would be released from guard on Friday.

Mr. ábrego García, a national Salvadoran, was wrongly expelled to Salvador in March by the Trump administration, then brought back to the United States for criminal accusations.

The officials allege that Mr. ábrego García has links with the MS-13 criminal gang, an accusation he denied.

The agreement to be sent to Costa Rica was proposed Thursday after it became clear, Mr. Ábrego García would probably be released from a Tennessee prison on Friday.

The Costarian government has agreed to accept it as a refugee and provide him with legal status, a letter from a Costarian official included in the legal file indicates.

His lawyers now say that during the release of Mr. Ábrego García from the Federal Guard, they were informed of the government’s intention to deport him to Uganda – a country with which he has no known link.

“There can only be one interpretation of these events,” they wrote in the file. “Doj, DHS and ice use their collective powers to force Mr. Abrego to choose between a guilt plea followed by relative security or interpretation in Uganda, where his security and freedom would be threatened.”

Mr. ábrego García, now in Maryland with his family, is expected to appear on Monday before a court in Baltimore. If a judge approves the government’s request, he could expulsion in a few days.

The United States has concluded bilateral expulsion agreements in Honduras and Uganda as part of its repression of illegal immigration, according to documents obtained by the American partner of the BBC CBS.

“This is a temporary arrangement with conditions, including individuals with judicial lockers and unaccompanied minors will not be accepted,” said Bagiirer Vincent Waiswa, permanent secretary of the Ugandan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“Uganda also prefers that individuals from African countries are those transferred to Uganda.”

The expulsion affair of Mr. ábrego García has become an element of the repression of the Trump administration against immigration.

He was expelled to his Salvador d’El Natal in March, and initially kept in the notorious of Cecot prison. But after the US government officials admitted that he had been expelled due to an “administrative error”, a judge ordered the administration to “facilitate” his return.

He was sent back to the United States in early June and sent to the state of Tennessee, where he was charged in a human smuggling program. He pleaded not guilty of the accusations.

At the end of June, a federal judge of Tennessee had ruled that Mr. Ábrego García was eligible for the Liberation, but had stayed in prison to fear his own legal team that he could again quickly expel if he left the establishment.
