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.

      They had a choice between two parties. One lied and said they would fix things. The other lied and said there wasn’t a problem to fix.

      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.

              You’re the one sitting here defending people joking about Americans facing starvation. All I’m asking is that you consider the bigger picture.

                If you honestly think I was defending starvation jokes, then you’ve got bigger problems with basic reading comprehension than I can fix.

          I mean, if everyone isn’t suffering, how will they be so beat down that they’ll vote for any old garbage that falsely promises to make it stop?

        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.

      No, because this is the crack in the dam. If they can open the door and say this guy was wrongfully deported, that opens the floodgates for probably a shocking amount of people.

    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.

        Oh there will be. You vastly underestimate how pissed off people will be.

        And just like with the holocaust assholes, we’ll make sure they’ll have to keep running and looking over their shoulder for the rest of their lives if they don’t.

          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.

    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.
