KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — The highest-profile detainee that the United States seeks to deport, Kilmar Abrego Garcia , appears to be headed to Uganda , where critics claim that a deal with the Trump administration eases political pressure on a president who's ruled for nearly four decades.

Ugandan officials have released few details about the agreement but have said they prefer to receive deportees of African origin — and don't want people with criminal records. Abrego Garcia is an El Salvador native who has been charged with human smuggling. He has pleaded not guilty.

Abrego Garcia, the subject of a protracted immigration saga, was detained again Monday by immigration officials in the U.S., and the Department of Homeland Security said he “is being processed for removal to Uganda.”
