The Trump administration may try to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, according to a senior Department of Homeland Security official and a notice sent by government officials obtained by CBS News.

The notice said he may be deported to the East African country “no earlier than 72 hours from now,” not including weekends.
