Attorneys for Immigration and Customs Enforcement say they intend to send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the African nation of Eswatini after he expressed a fear of deportation to Uganda.

Attorneys for Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a Friday letter that they intend to send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the African nation of Eswatini after he expressed a fear of deportation to Uganda.

The letter from ICE to Abrego Garcia’s attorneys was earlier reported by Fox News. It states that his fear of persecution or torture in Uganda is “hard to take seriously, especially given that you have claimed (through your attorneys) that you fear persecution or torture in at least 22 different countries. …Nonetheless, we hereby notify you that your new country of removal is Eswatini.”

Eswatini’s government spokesperson told The Associated Press on Saturday that it had no received no communication regarding Abrego Garcia’s transfer there.

    This could be any of us next. Kilmar and his supporters proved the administration is incompetent and committed an illegal deportation.

    The only way to solve this for them is to make him public enemy #1. Hope the best for him and his family. So many innocent people in the US have been killed or harmed by the trump administration.
