The Trump administration intends to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia as soon as October 31, according to a court filing by the Department of Justice.
Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was wrongly deported to El Salvador earlier this year, will be sent to Liberia, which has agreed to accept him, said DOJ officials.
Although [Abrego Garcia] has identified more than twenty countries that he purports to fear would persecute or torture him if he were removed there, Liberia is not on that list.
Liberia is described by DOJ lawyers as a "thriving democracy and one of the United States’s closest partners on the African continent."
