I know Kilmar Abrego Garcia isn't a US citizen, but his wife and kids are. So now either the whole family will have to move to Uganda if they want to stay together, or they'll just be broken up and those American kids will grow up without a dad.

Bear in mind that Abrego Garcia's immigration status allowed him to live and work legally in the US before Trump came into office. Trump is just destroying these people's lives for his own sick amusement.
