The immigration attorneys who filed both lawsuits against the federal government by Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the citizen of El Salvador charged with human smuggling, said in a Tuesday response to a filing by government attorneys that their client is ready for an "immediate" removal to Costa Rica, if the government consents to send him to the Central American nation.
