From Fox News: An attorney representing the Department of Homeland Security and ICE has notified high-profile illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia that he will be deported to the tiny African nation Eswatini, after the alleged gang member’s lawyers said he fears persecution in 22 other countries.
According to a removal notice shared with Fox News by ICE sources, the agency notified Abrego Garcia that in light of his claims of fear of persecution or torture in nearly two dozen other countries, “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.”
The ICE notice states, “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 letter then lists the 22 countries which Abrego Garcia has claimed he’s afraid to be deported to.
So…. the letter concludes, “Nonetheless, we hereby notify you that your new country of removal is Eswatini, Africa.”
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin shared a copy of the letter on X.
The letter doesn’t give a departure date, as Abrego-Garcia’s case is still pending. He is currently being held at a detention center in Virginia.
Bye bye!
