US tells Kilmar brego Garca he faces deportation to Eswatini

19 hours ago

Danai Nesta Kupemba BBC News

The Trump administration has told Kilmar Ábrego García, a Salvadoran man at the centre of a long-running immigration row, he could be deported to the southern African kingdom of Eswatini.

In an email to his lawyers seen by the BBC's US partner CBS, an immigration officer said they were changing last month's decision to send him to Uganda, after Mr Ábrego García raised fears of persecution there.

. . .

It is at least the fourth country floated as a potential destination for the 30-year-old. He was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March, and then returned to face criminal charges.

. . .

Previously known as Swaziland, Eswatini is surrounded by South Africa and Mozambique. It is one of the last remaining absolute monarchies in the world, and has been led by King Mswati III since 1986.

. . .

The US is the fourth-largest market for the country's biggest export, sugar. Analysts suggest that Eswatini may be trying to safeguard this trade and avoid tariffs.

Because the DOJ refuses to admit it made a mistake by arresting the guy.
