The Trump administration is seeking to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an El Salvadoran national, to Eswatini. This follows previous attempts to deport him to Uganda, Costa Rica, and El Salvador. Garcia's attorneys claim he faces persecution or torture in these locations, citing a prior wrongful deportation to El Salvador where he was imprisoned. The administration disputes these claims, alleging gang affiliation and other offenses. Garcia is currently in ICE custody in Virginia, fighting both deportation and criminal smuggling charges, while also seeking asylum in the U.S.
