The Trump administration is moving forward with its plan to swiftly remove Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia as soon as a court allows.

In a series of filings on Friday, administration officials asked a judge to dissolve a preliminary injunction that bars them from re-detaining Abrego Garcia and deporting him.

Abrego Garcia, a native of El Salvador who had been living in Maryland with his wife and children, was deported last March to El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison – despite a 2019 court order barring his deportation to that country due to fear of persecution. The Trump administration claimed he was a member of the criminal gang MS-13, which he and his attorneys deny.

    Great opportunity for someone to give him and his family asylum just to throw some shade on the USA.

        Spain’s very actively opposing it. They’ve cut off diplomatic relations with Israel and were among the first to oppose Trump’s demand to support the attack on Iran.
