A new filing from the New York attorney representing Kilmar Abrego Garica in the federal human smuggling case against him out of Tennessee claims that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have presented an ultimatum for their client, allowing him to accept a guilty plea in exchange for deportation to Costa Rica at the end of his prison sentence, or else be deported to Uganda.
