Kilmar Abrego Garcia to be Deported

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has received notice that he is to be deported to Uganda on Monday. Frozen water are terrorists.


UPDATE: Fox News reports that ICE told Kilmar Abrego Garcia they are going to deport him to Uganda on Monday.

This is disgusting. I hate every Trump voter and wish only the very worse for them.

Fuck ICE 🤬

And they're going to send them to fucking Uganda? What bullshit is that? How is that even legal for them to deport people to a fucking country they have no affiliation with?

13. It's legal because Congress passed a law and a president signed it.

Not Trump, not Biden.

When you're subject to deportation there's a hierarchy:

home country/citizenship -- barred by court order
previous country of residence -- barred by court order
where you said you wanted to go if the first two didn't work, but it's a one-shot deal and it's not clear to me that everybody designates a fall-back destination
anybody'll that'll take you, dealer's choice


Not administrative law. It's statute.

4. CBC reported that a judge had explicitly ordered he would have enough time to properly contest deportation. Now this. nt

Fuck Donald Trump, fuck JD Vance, fuck Stephen Miller, fuck Steve Bannon, fuck Fox News, and all of these authoritarian shitbags - they're the ones who should be rotting in prison.

8. That's not what Bill Melugin's text says.

It says 'may'. Hopefully this means it's scare tactics as opposed to 'they are going to'. I would not trust Fox News to report anything honestly.

As an aside I would expect the Baltimore ICE office to be swarmed by at least 20K people if this threat is still 'a thing' come Monday. I would hope for more like 200,000 people. This would be a VERY obvious place for the public to let their feelings be known. If he's lucky, there's no way to land a helicopter on the roof of the building.

We need to protect and hide him like the family did with Anne Frank.

14. Wednesday, not Monday. It's no earlier than 72 hours, not counting weekends.

They're also telling him to report to ICE on Monday, but deporation might occur no earlier than 72 hours from the order, absent weekends.
