U.S. immigration officials say they intend to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, after he declined an offer to be deported to Costa Rica in exchange for remaining in jail and pleading guilty to human smuggling charges.

Abrego, wrongfully deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador, now faces removal to Uganda just a day after being freed from a Tennessee jail.

Officials dangled an offer to send Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica if he pleaded guilty to criminal charges, the lawyers said in a filing, then threatened to send him to Uganda if he did not.
