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.
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.
