Court cancels hearing in Abrego Garcia deportation case as government seeks new destination
A federal court canceled a scheduled hearing regarding the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national previously sent to a prison in El Salvador despite a court order. The Trump administration is seeking to deport him to a third country, with potential destinations including Liberia, Eswatini, or Uganda. Abrego Garcia’s legal team argues that Costa Rica is the appropriate destination, as it has offered him refugee status and residency. The case remains active as the government pursues alternative removal options following the dismissal of criminal charges against him.
