DOJ tries to ship wrongly deported migrant to Africa: 'Should be an amenable choice!'

The Department of Justice was slammed Friday for its continued efforts to again deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia — ignoring Garcia's pleas of innocence and his request to be granted refugee status in his native El Salvador.

This time, it's asking a federal judge to send him against his will to Liberia. Garcia's attorney issued this angry response, according to The Hill:

“Having struck out with Uganda, Eswatini and Ghana, ICE now seeks to deport our client Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia – a country with which he has no connection, thousands of miles from his family and home in Maryland,” attorney Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg wrote. "Costa Rica has agreed to accept him as a refugee, and remains a viable and lawful option. Instead, the government has chosen yet another path that feels designed to inflict maximum hardship. Their actions are punitive, cruel and unconstitutional.”

Garcia's case became famous in March when the Trump administration wrongfully deported Garcia to El Salvador, violating a 2019 immigration order protecting where he was held in several prisons before being returned under intense pressure on the Justice Department.

The DOJ argued in its Friday filing that "Liberia should be an amenable choice for Abrego Garcia."

“Liberia is a thriving democracy and one of the United States’s closest partners on the African continent." It noted that English is Liberia's official language and claimed it's "committed to the humane treatment of refugees.”
