What's Happening?
The Trump administration intends to deport Kilmar Ábrego García to Uganda, following a mistaken deportation to El Salvador. Ábrego, who fled El Salvador due to gang threats, has become a focal point in President Trump's immigration policies. Despite a U.S. judge's ruling against deporting him to El Salvador, citing gang persecution fears, Ábrego was sent there and later returned to the U.S. His case has drawn attention to the administration's aggressive deportation tactics, with legal and human rights advocates criticizing the lack of due process.
