| Kilmar Abrego Garcia: a dad, a Minnesota Man, a basic scumcrumpet |
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran guy who's been duking it out with Uncle Sam’s immigration machine, is throwing fresh punches. He's gunning for asylum in the U.S. again, while telling the feds to shove their plan to ship him off to Uganda. His counteroffer? Costa Rica, which has apparently rolled out the welcome mat.
Court papers dropped Tuesday say it all: "At 5pm yesterday, Petitioner filed a motion to reopen before an immigration judge pursuant to 8 C.F.R. §1003.23(b)(4)(i), to seek asylum in the United States pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §1158." Kilmar's not going down without a fight.
This all comes after ICE nabbed him Monday at one of their facilities. A video making the rounds on X, courtesy of the Department of Homeland Security, caught Kilmar spitting fire, yelling "gobierno corrupto" that's "corrupt government" for those not fluent in the language of shade.
In a filing called "Notice of Fear of Removal to UGANDA," Kilmar didn't hold back, [like when he beats his wife]: "I, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia … hereby state that I fear persecution in UGANDA on account of my race, nationality, political opinion, and membership in a particular social group."
He's also sweating torture at the hands of Ugandan officials, or worse, getting ping-ponged back to El Salvador, where he says he's already been through hell. Poor baby.
"I also fear torture by or at the acquiescence of a public official in that country. Finally, I feat [sic] that country will refoul me (re-deport me) to EL SALVADOR, where I also fear persecution on account of the above-mentioned protected grounds and torture by or at the acquiescence of a public official, and where I have been tortured in the past."
Costa Rica, though, that's his pick? They're down to take him, and Kilmar's all in for the Central American vibes over Uganda's uncertainty.
Rewind to earlier this year: Kilmar got the boot to El Salvador after a 2019 immigration judge ruling shot down his asylum bid but gave him a partial win with withholding of removal. Sadly, it didn't stick, though as the U.S. sent him packing. Fast-forward to some legal cage-fighting, and Florida's Attorney General Pam Bondi stepped into the spotlight, declaring Kilmar had "landed in the United States to face justice." Apparently, the U.S. waved an arrest warrant at El Salvador, and they handed him over.
What's he facing? A grand jury slapped him with an indictment earlier this year, charging him with "Conspiracy to Transport Aliens" and "Unlawful transportation of undocumented aliens." Kilmar’s response? A big, bold "not guilty," in spite of his human trafficking antics being seen on video.
