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.

Hours after Abrego Garcia — who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador earlier this year — was released from pre-trial detention in Tennessee on Friday, his attorneys were sent a court-required notice of his potential deportation to Uganda, the official said.

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

    A person cannot be deported to a country they didn’t come from. I believe a more correct correct term is exile or kidnapping.

      Oooooh, sorry. Didn’t you get the SCOTUS memo? Third countries (e.g. not the US or their original country) are absolutely okay now.

      What? The person doesn’t speak Ugandan? Oh well not our problem!

      This shit is so fucked up.
