Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem used unproven claims to attack a man wrongfully deported by the Trump administration who now faces deportation to Uganda.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia was detained on Monday at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Baltimore. He was deported to a notorious El Salvadoran megaprison in March because of an “administrative error,” but was brought back to the U.S. after the Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his return.
Abrego Garcia’s arrest comes after he was released from federal prison on Friday after being flown back to the U.S. in June, only to be detained and charged with human smuggling.
In a statement, Noem said ICE is once again “processing” Abrego Garcia for deportation. DHS said in the same news release
