The Trump administration is moving forward with its plan to swiftly remove Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia as soon as a court allows.
In a series of filings on Friday, administration officials asked a judge to dissolve a preliminary injunction that bars them from re-detaining Abrego Garcia and deporting him.
Abrego Garcia, a native of El Salvador who had been living in Maryland with his wife and children, was deported last March to El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison – despite a 2019 court order barring his deportation to that country due to fear of persecution. The Trump administration claimed he was a member of the criminal gang MS-13, which he and his attorneys deny.
What is Liberia even going to do with him?
Has he been able to request a visa or asylum in Liberia? Are they just going to drop him off and let him get sucked into Liberia immigration system as an undocumented immigrant in another country?
I suspect Liberia is just going to do something similar to what it was originally designed for - to be the dumping ground for former U.S slaves.
Being one of the poorest places in the world, I doubt it has a particularly robust immigration system.
