The US government is determined to deport Kilmar Ábrego García, a 30-year-old Salvadoran national, to Liberia, despite a recent agreement with Costa Rica to accept deportees. García's case has gained attention after he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador last year. Following his return, he has been fighting against a proposed second deportation to various African nations, which US District Judge Paula Xinis has criticized as lacking a viable plan. García argues he should be sent to Costa Rica instead, but Todd Lyons, the acting head of US Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE), contends that this would be detrimental to US interests. Xinis has scheduled a new hearing for April 28 to further discuss the case, while García faces human smuggling charges in Tennessee, complicating his legal situation.
