Trump officials not giving up on deporting Abrego Garcia to African nations despite resistance

The Trump administration is pushing again to deport a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. An immigration official told a judge Friday that the administration hasn’t given up on sending Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Eswatini even though it initially rejected the idea. Abrego Garcia is challenging efforts to re-deport him to a third country. The Salvadoran national’s mistaken deportation to his home country galvanized opposition to President Donald Trump’s sweeping immigration agenda. Abrego Garcia’s attorneys claim the Republican administration is illegally using the immigration system to punish him after the embarrassment of his mistaken deportation.
