Accused MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia walked free from a Tennessee jail Friday, thanks to a rogue judge’s order — only to face a new problem.
Garcia, 30, a Salvadoran national accused of human trafficking, was released under strict home detention and allowed to rejoin his family in Maryland. But the Trump administration is moving to deport him — this time not to El Salvador, but all the way to Uganda.
DHS officials confirmed that ICE has notified Abrego Garcia’s lawyers that he could be deported “no earlier than 72 hours from now,” Fox News’ Bill Melugin reported.
Abrego Garcia had been locked up at Putnam County Jail in Cookeville, Tennessee, since June after the Trump administration arranged his return from El Salvador to face federal human smuggling charges. He was indicted by a grand jury on conspiracy and unlawful transport of migrants after being pulled over in a 2022 traffic stop with eight passengers crammed into his car and no luggage.
