The Department of Homeland Security has notified Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the high-profile illegal immigrant facing human smuggling charges, that he will be deported to the small southern African nation after his attorneys claimed he feared persecution in more than 20 other countries.
According to a removal notice obtained by Fox News from Immigration and Customs Enforcement sources, Abrego Garcia was informed that his new country of removal is Eswatini.
“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.””
