DHS to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to tiny African country, says ‘homie is afraid of the entire western hemisphere’

Abrego Garcia, who was repatriated back to the United States after being deported to El Salvador, has avoided being sent to another country after returning to the US thus far, claiming most recently that he had a fear of being deported to a list of 22 countries, including, Uganda, Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, Brazil, and several other South American countries, per Fox News.

A removal notice sent to Abrego Garcia from ICE, the agency told the accused gang member, "We hereby notify you that your new country of removal is Eswatini, Africa."

"Dear Mr. Abrego Garcia," the notice reads, "As you know, the United States seeks to remove you from the United States based on your final order of removal. Currently, you are designated to be removed to Uganda. Your attorney has informed us, however, that you fear persecution or torture in Uganda."

"That claim of fear is hard to take seriously, especially given that you have claimed (through your attorneys) that you fear persecution or torture in at least 22 different countries," the ICE notice added, noting the list of 22 different countries.

"Nonetheless," the notice continued, "we hereby notify you that your new country of removal is Eswatini, Africa." DHS also shared a copy of the notice on X and stated, "Homie is afraid of the entire western hemisphere."

Following his deportation to El Salvador, Abrego Garcia's case became a national flashpoint for those in opposition to President Donald Trump's agenda to conduct mass deportations after an article from The Atlantic characterized Abrego Garcia as a "Maryland dad" who was wrongfully deported. Although the Trump administration admitted in court documents that he had been deported because of a clerical error, the case remained, according to the administration, that he was a member of the violent MS-13 gang.

He had previously been given a protection order from removal because he feared going back to El Salvador; however, he was originally in the US illegally, and two judges had determined that there was sufficient evidence that he was a member of MS-13.
