Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran migrant, has been in the news due to a dispute with the Trump administration over his potential deportation. The U.S. government has been attempting to deport Abrego Garcia to Uganda, with reports suggesting that this threat was used to pressure him into pleading guilty in a smuggling case. Abrego Garcia's lawyers have spoken out against this, stating that the U.S. officials are trying to coerce a guilty plea by threatening deportation to Uganda. Despite refusing the plea offer, Abrego Garcia was recently released from federal custody, but the threat of deportation to Uganda still looms. The case has also drawn attention from South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who has publicly criticized Abrego Garcia's release.
