NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Immigration officials said they intend to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda after he declined an offer to be sent to Costa Rica in exchange for remaining in jail and pleading guilty to human smuggling charges, his defense attorneys told a court Saturday.

The Costa Rica offer came late Thursday and included a requirement that he remain in jail for the time being and then serve whatever sentence he would receive for pleading guilty, according to a brief filed in Tennessee, where the criminal case was brought. After Abrego Garcia left jail on Friday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement notified his attorneys that he would be deported to Uganda and should report to immigration authorities on Monday.

Later on Friday, “the government informed Mr. Abrego that he has until first thing Monday morning — precisely when he must report to ICE’s Baltimore Field Office — to accept a plea in exchange for deportation to Costa Rica, or else that offer will be off the table forever,” his defense attorneys wrote.

    Hold on, hold on. Has no one photographed his famous 'ms-13' tattoo on his knuckles since he's been out? I'm genuinely curious because that picture ms-paint AF, right?

    Wish I could believe any of these people would suffer a tenth of the suffering and turmoil they have and will cause.

    There will be no trials. No accountability.

    And just like with the (hundreds of) thousands of holocaust assholes, only 21 people were actually tried and convicted for anything relating to their actions.

    So the "next Nuremberg trials" will probably go just like the last one. With a lot of rich people washing their hands of their actions and saying "ok it's over now lets move on."

    In order for there to be trials, they must first be defeated.

    There is currently zero indication that that will ever happen.

    What we're witnessing here is more like North Korea, which is on its third generation of hereditary dictator with no end in sight. It can happen here.

    This man did nothing wrong to deserve the way he has been treated. He has been abused by the government and made an example of just to throw red meat at this administration's brown shirts.

    The government has lied and denied him his rights. False charges, false imprisonment, human trafficking, the list goes on and on.

    My favorite thing about Democratic voters is how they think it's funny that food is becoming cost-prohibitive. Great joke, bruh.

    Mocking voters who swallowed the nonsense that Trump cared about food prices or that tariffs were going to magically fix them doesn’t mean anyone thinks it’s funny that groceries are expensive. It just means the idea itself deserves ridicule.

    No, you definitely think it's funny. Most voters in this country seem perfectly fine with fascism and poverty provided it targets the people they consider undesirables.

    Seeing as you know better than I do about what is in my head, is there anything else that I think you could tell me about? Alternatively, perhaps you could cease misdirecting your anger.

    It's a critique you simpleton. People cope in different ways. If you want to accomplish anything in your lifetime you better start making allies instead of being a wedge to divide the working class.

    It bears repeating: If ICE knocks on your door, make like the kid from Terminator 2. You didn't see anything and you know nothing.

    I don't know of an international mechanism that wouldn't require American support. And their entire position is that he must be demonized and punished, so I have trouble imaging a scenario where they let Canada help him out.

    Edit: Though, assuming he ends up in Uganda, there'd be nothing stopping us offering him refugee status or something except for any potential from the capricious but mercurial trump.

    And remember that ,"Carney pointed out that Canada will be reducing its immigration numbers in the future. Even though Canada has always accepted new immigrants, the increase in the last few years has caused some problems, mainly in housing and access to public services." Source

    Because of the Safe Third Country agreement, it would be complicated at the very least.

    I doubt the government would even be interested right now, when the whole nation hangs in the balance and it's just one dude.
